This article explores the most plausible (to me) explanation.

@nicoraytruth Wards are smaller than they used to be, but there are more of them -- the theory is that smaller wards leads to more leadership opportunities and engagement.

@TheCougChron But read through the responses to your post, @TheCougChron, and ask yourself: is this the spirit of Christ in these responses?

[Jeffrey Thayne @JeffreyThayne]

@TheCougChron I understand the politics of resettlement and where and who and how many and so on are very complicated, fraught, and full of issues -- plenty of room for disagreement about the politics and the policies.

[Jeffrey Thayne @JeffreyThayne]

@nicoraytruth I agree that we should all be more thick-skinned -- just don't mistake always-online crowd with the reactions of ordinary members in the pews.

@UseHabitify, why can't my kids accept invitations to join the family circle on their iPads? The "Friends" tab / menu isn't even visible. What's going on? I paid for a family plan on Pro in part to access these features. Can't find anyone to talk to.

@whatdobeesmean @CaitlinJustini @council_of_50 Compassion for those who mourn — and sharing their burdens — is a natural outgrowth of that. But not at the expense of witnessing of God and keeping His commandments. And properly understood, they'll never come into conflict, yet... shrug. People sometimes claim so.

[Jeffrey Thayne @JeffreyThayne]

@whatdobeesmean @CaitlinJustini @council_of_50 In other words, those who join murmurers in their murmuring and claim that *this is what they have covenanted to do.* No -- they covenanted to keep the commandments of God and stand as witnesses of him at all times and take upon themselves the name of Christ.

@ninja_maths My recommendation would be to potentially relabel things so that kids who are still learning a growth mindset are not intimidated by it.

@ninja_maths Because of this tweet, I signed up so that my 3rd-grade daughter can give this a try. One piece of feedback: she saw that the lowest course offered was 4th-grade math, and she has freaked out and decided there is no way she can do it.

This is the best theory I have found.

@TheTriarii @badtothebone124 @Manhattva In fact, he is not even advocating that it should change. Nor am I. I don’t expect it too. A friend mentioned that Elder Cook even said the same thing recently at a Q&A — that it’s not going to change any time soon, but not because our doctrine forbids it.

[Jeffrey Thayne @JeffreyThayne]

@TheTriarii @badtothebone124 @Manhattva He’s not advocating for women to hold the priesthood. He’s simply stating that passing the sacrament is an assignment given to young men who hold the priesthood, rather than a priesthood function itself. And he is correct, I’ve heard this from multiple sources.

[Jeffrey Thayne @JeffreyThayne]

@TheTriarii @badtothebone124 @Manhattva He's a good dude. Very orthodox. You should watch his whole video. He's very clear that this is a decision for Church leaders to make, and that we follow their directives. https://t.co/wpSdz8PPlQ

@FiredUpCoug If I have a board game idea that was given to me in a dream, but which needs the finishing touches of someone experienced in the field, who should I talk to?
