| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Mormon newscast. It is October the 6th. It is Monday night, 6 p.m. Mountain Time. And we are here again. I'm Rebecca. I am joined by my wonderful colleagues, Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon. It has been another huge week of news in Mormonism. How are you, Bill, tonight? I am doing so great, Rebecca. |
| 0:23.5 | How are you? Awesome. I'm fabulous. And really the person we should be concerned about is Radio Free Mormon. |
| 0:29.5 | How the hell are you watching all those sessions of conference and then reporting on them? Are you okay? |
| 0:35.5 | Can you even? I'm not sure. All the test results have not |
| 0:39.3 | come back in, but so far what has come back in looks okay, at least within that realm. So anyway, |
| 0:45.5 | yes, what a weekend I had? And what a weekend we all had, at least as many of you has joined me, |
| 0:51.1 | and there are actually a surprising amount of people. At least I thought so. |
| 0:55.1 | So I was grateful for all the people who wanted to watch live and who've watched since then |
| 0:58.7 | and getting my hot takes on General Conference at the end of every session. |
| 1:03.3 | Bang, I go live and I tell you all about the notes I've been furiously making while |
| 1:08.1 | General Conference was going on right before that. I feel like you're a staple now. Like people count on you. Like they're, you know what, I'm just going to go out of town and I know that RFMs got it covered. And if there's anything I need to hear, I can just speed through one of his broadcast. So you really have taken one for the team over and over, and we appreciate you quite a bit. |
| 1:28.4 | Oh, thank you. |
| 1:29.2 | That's very nice of you. |
| 2:24.1 | Yeah, it's good. So we do have quite a bit of news, even today, even. I said that sounds like I'm talking, speaking a general conference, even, right? So one thing I was going to say, let's see, I go back one. Oh, okay, here we go. I was going to draw attention just really quickly before I read the stories that it is today President Nelson's viewing at the conference center in Salt Lake. Ends at 8 p.m. Mountain Time. There is still time to get over there. If you are interested in doing this, I understand it's been greatly attended, thousands of people, and it moves very quickly. I've been reading, you know, some information on it. You just kind of go in, security, walk past, pay your respects, tip your hat, walk out. So if anybody wants to go, there it is. You know, Rebecca? Yes. I don't know about you, but at this point in time, I'm feeling kind of bad about all the times I said that Russell Nelson looked like the cryptkeeper. Well, everybody tries to put their best foot forward when they're in the coffin, but, you know, it doesn't always work out that way. So if any of you guys went today, report back in |
| 2:29.8 | the chat. I'd be very curious. We are going to cover quite a bit of things tonight. We're going to |
| 2:33.7 | move quickly. General conference highlights, No temple for you, something big that came out of conference. |
| 2:39.5 | LDS Church sends an apostle to Michigan. Is the family proclamation doctrine? LDS Church |
| 2:46.0 | as both the persecuted and the persecutor, revelation-free process of choosing the next prophet, and reinventing |
| 2:54.5 | Mormonism. I didn't tell you who is doing each story. We'll leave some element of surprise, |
| 2:59.2 | but I will tell you that the first story, General Conference highlights, of course, is none |
| 3:03.8 | other. He can't get enough. Radio Free Mormon free Mormon it is I thank you for letting me |
| 3:08.5 | know I wasn't sure which story was mine actually but we've got some highlights here |
