Always nice to see your smiling face. Keep up the good work.

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

Thank you so much. I really enjoy doing it. Even the most seemingly mundane articles seem interesting to me because of the way mormons think and act.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

This is disgusting. They are making too much fuss about these temples.

[@anthonycampbell4534]

I left the church years ago, but I think the vantalization of Mormon churches is horrific. Appreciate your updates!

[@BramptonAnglican]

Thanks for the new info. Always excited when I see notifications from your channel.

[@gcarson19]

Thanks for the updates. Very well presented.

[@jake8882]

The temple names question is hilarious

[@emilysnow6757]

I paused and zoomed in to see the names you submitted for the prayer list. 😂😂😂😂

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

You get bonus points today!! 😂

[@reneenolan3163]

I really like your news! I am also very glad you survived the hurricane! Keep up the good work! I hope you also have the day you deserve (great!)

@@reneenolan3163 the hurricane was rough! I still get up every day and praise the gods of air conditioning. Thank you so much for your support. ❤️

Your excellent work is deeply appreciated. I so enjoy your no-fluff style of delivery. Your hair is awesome, too.

The church is bullying this town and it's not right...and I am a Mormon, and I think for myself just like other Mormon women do..

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

It’s true that they are being bullies. I thought I thought for myself when I was Mormon too. 😬

[@styphlynne8253]

It's called "succumb" We succumb to the men- Or not! After decades being a temple mormon I had my name and LD$/Auschwitz number removed.

[@suzannedehaven6775]

@@styphlynne8253 good for you,I am happy for you...but what the church is doing is wrong, God doesn't bully anyone to do what he wants them to do,btw..God is the who gives us all free will..so you can live how ever you want but in the end we all be judge by God and will be held accountable for what we do and say and how we choose to treat other people...

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Ditto here.

I have never had a problem with putting my name on the prayer roll. It is sad that so many people feel so helpless but I have to say, it isn't only in the church. I have seen it outside the church. The facts are that it has always been a man's world and I don't see it changing any time soon.

[@cynthiastrech6760]

Wear white but don’t look weird? It is summer, maybe that will help with the color choice, oddly not a choice. Liked your tips to make your own choices.

[@jimwhitaker4327]

Please dont put my name on the temple rolls, I'm actually doing better on my own more than I ever did always praying, hard work gets you further and I'm happier. Love the news updates.

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

I agree. It was fun to do anyhow because it doesn’t mean anything. I could do it without any strings attached and without feeling like I had to be extra faithful.

[@crazymema23]

they need to build their buildings underground

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

This is the BEST idea.

I grew up in heavily LDS areas as an evangelical Christian. Moved away for several years and came back recently. When wearing my cross, I can't tell you how many furrowed brows, side eyes and downright dirty looks I've had in stores, restaurants, and through other interactions in LDS communities. Even within the last few years. Now, the LDS church wants to embrace the cross - one of the very things used to communicate to me that I was "less." Though it would be easy to do, I try to not take offense. I mostly find it sad that the meaning of the cross to the LDS church is rooted in promotion, instead of unconditional love, sacrifice, and redemption.

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

Yes. The LDS church is accepting the cross so that they will be more acceptable to Christians…not because their feelings about the cross have changed.

My daughter works in the heart of zion UT ~The bullying & prejudices shown to employees not mormon is so sad

[@JohnReynolds-t3y]

I am not an expert but that broken sink looks suspiciously dry underneath I would think a sink smashed like that would be leaking some water from some where. From a news report I saw the carpet was damaged from a fire extinguisher going off the foot prints look like a mans dress shoe with the toe and heel separated not like a sneaker.

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

@@JohnReynolds-t3y ooooh. Intrigue. Now I need to look at the pics closer.

[@JohnReynolds-t3y]

@@GenerallyUnquotablelooking even closer at the smashed sink the pipe for the sink is gone completely and the water was obviously shut off this actually looks like a renovation.

I have two aunts that live in Texas (Houston and Dallas) several of my cousins attended our Family Reunion for the 24th at our mountain home near Park City.. when I asked them, What's up with the McKinney Temple?" Most replied, "We really haven't been following much of it!" When no one wanted to attend Sacrament during that week it dawned on me that I'm more obsessed with the Church (from the outside) than most of my relatives. I think I might need therapy! lol ps, Growing up, some of the rowdy kids (young teenagers) would break into the wardhouse/stake center and swim in the baptism font...they actually had a set of keys, I didn't swim, we set up a volleyball game which seemed a better choice! As always, Thank You for your beautiful smile and informative/humorous content. Have a Great Weekend! Hugs!

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

Had a very awkward convo with some relatives about the Mckinney temple situation. They had NO IDEA the church was bullying people with their temple building. They actually said "That doesn't sound like my church." 😩 So. Clueless.

[@laurenbutters9939]

No desire to subscribe to your podcasts. We are not the Mormons. That’s a nick name. It’s true and original name is The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Follow Him not the world 🌎

[@GenerallyUnquotable]

"I suppose that regardless of our efforts, we may never convert the world to general use of the full and correct name of the Church. Because of the shortness of the word Mormon and the ease with which it is spoken and written, they will continue to call us the Mormons, the Mormon church, and so forth. They could do worse. More than fifty years ago, when I was a missionary in England, I said to one of my associates, “How can we get people, including our own members, to speak of the Church by its proper name?” He replied, “You can’t. The word Mormon is too deeply ingrained and too easy to say.” He went on, “I’ve quit trying. While I’m thankful for the privilege of being a follower of Jesus Christ and a member of the Church which bears His name, I am not ashamed of the nickname Mormon.” “Look,” he went on to say, “if there is any name that is totally honorable in its derivation, it is the name Mormon. And so, when someone asks me about it and what it means, I quietly say-‘Mormon means more good.’” -President Hinkley
