Leaders are there to help and serve you. If they don't understand that, don't worry about it, and just ask God for inspiration to know how to help those in your ward regardless of how they react to it. Don't make there problems your own. Just do the best you can.<br /><br />You have the ability to learn for yourself through personal revelation that what you have been asked to do is right. Pray about it sincerely and ask for guidance and help. If nothing else, you can improve yourself by learning from the experience, and ve bless for at least attempting to be there for others.SJ Hollisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201588148968616623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-43537858197309965332018-09-23T12:35:43.658-05:002018-09-23T12:35:43.658-05:00Maybe if they put it in the form of a chiasmus peo...Maybe if they put it in the form of a chiasmus people could get more excited about it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-41678900135032494362018-09-23T05:41:50.666-05:002018-09-23T05:41:50.666-05:00The main struggle, though, seems to be getting com...The main struggle, though, seems to be getting comfortable with the new terminology.

When it was announced I felt like the leaders were just explaining better and giving more focus to what HT & VT was always supposed to be, which is building relationships and ministering to the families or individuals under our watchcare. The thought that came to me when this new focus was announced: "This is going to lead to Zion!"

Sorry it's so painful, wherever you are. But it also sounds like there's an attitude regarding others that might add to the difficulty. Have you always felt so negatively about your church leaders or is this a recent thing? I hope you'll be able to see the good in them. There are some really great men and women among them.

The current LDS leaders are idiots and are not in tune with God. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
