LDS Apostles Issue Boldest Rebuke Yet: A Strongly Worded Statement Expressing “Profound Concern”

 LDS Apostles Issue Boldest Rebuke Yet: A Strongly Worded Statement Expressing “Profound Concern”

SALT LAKE CITY—In a move described by insiders as “the ecclesiastical equivalent of a very firm Post-it Note,” top leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints delivered their harshest condemnation of the Trump administration to date by… not showing up to a giant patriotic prayer rally and issuing a statement that sounded like a Relief Society president reminding everyone to “please be nice.”

The White House-backed jubilee event, meant to rededicate America to God, conservative values, and possibly more bald eagles, went forward without a single Mormon general authority on stage. This despite U.S. Latter-day Saints being among the most reliably Republican voting blocs in the nation and having spent decades teaching that the Constitution is basically scripture with extra verses about gathering Israel.

“Look, we completely agree that America is a promised land and has a special destiny,” said an anonymous Seventy who definitely exists. “It’s right there in the Book of Mormon, between the part where everyone lives in peace for 200 years and the part where they immediately start sinning again. But have you considered the importance of… humanitarian aid? And avoiding the appearance of partisanship? We’re very concerned. Profoundly so.”

Sources say Church PR handlers spent three weeks workshopping the Iran statement to ensure it named no leaders, blamed no policies, and could technically apply to any conflict since the days of Captain Moroni. The final version—“We feel profound concern and heartfelt compassion for those in harm’s way”—was hailed internally as “peak prophetic boldness” and “the strongest thing we’ve said since we asked people to wear masks… or not wear them… depending on local leaders.”

Jana Riess, noted chronicler of Mormon nuance, praised the strategy. “This is classic. Instead of getting political, they’re doubling down on charity, family values, and issuing statements so neutral they could be read at a United Nations bake sale. It’s the politest way possible to say, ‘We’re not touching that with a ten-foot pioneer handcart.’”

One evangelical ally at the jubilee reportedly asked, “Where are the Mormons? We thought they’d be all-in on the ‘America as New Jerusalem’ stuff.” A church spokesman replied by offering him a copy of the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet and suggesting he “ponderize” the phrase ‘good, better, best.’

At press time, apostles were said to be in an emergency meeting crafting their most aggressive response yet: a strongly worded First Presidency message urging members to “study the scriptures, serve others, and maybe fast a little extra this month for world peace.” Trump was reportedly devastated, but only in the nicest, most Christlike way possible.

Church to include vaccination status Temple Recommend Question

Image
  SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — In a recent super secret, high level, area 51, clearance only type meeting held in the "upper room," Mormon leadership effected changes in the questions local leaders ask congregants to answer in order to obtain  a temple recommend - (a type of license allowing you to pass by the sentinels entering Mormon temples).  In particular, a question regarding vaccination status has been included. A spokesman for the Mormons said, "The questions have been updated to reflect how a loving God has changed his heart to adapt to the needs of the people rather than the people adapting to the laws of God." Since becoming Profit, President Nelson has implemented scores of changes to help better align the church with cultural currents in an effort to retain shrinking membership rolls.  As part of an additional effort to bolster women's self esteem, many of those changes have been oriented toward temple rites and more specifically toward the part...

"BREAKING: LDS Church Announces Women Can Now Serve in Sunday School Presidency, Immediately Solves Priesthood Authority Shortage"

“BREAKING: LDS Church Announces Women Can Now Serve in Sunday School Presidency, Immediately Solves Priesthood Authority Shortage" SALT LAKE CITY — In a bold move toward even greater gender balance, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has declared that women may now be called as ward Sunday School presidents — a change leaders say will finally allow sisters to experience the thrill of wrangling teenagers who think "Come, Follow Me" is just a polite suggestion. "If a man is called, he must hold the Melchizedek Priesthood," the First Presidency letter carefully clarified. "If a woman is called, her counselors must also be women — because nothing says 'restoration continues' like gender-segregated scripture study presidencies." Church sources report that the first female Sunday School president in a Provo ward has already scheduled a lesson titled "How to Teach the Book of Mormon When Half the Class Is Scrolling TikTok," whi...

LDS Church Announces "Two-Hour Miracle" Upgrade: Now With 100% More Meetings in the Same Amount of Time

LDS Church Announces "Two-Hour Miracle" Upgrade: Now With 100% More Meetings in the Same Amount of Time SALT LAKE CITY—In a move hailed by some as "inspired efficiency" and by others as "finally admitting the 2019 home-centered gospel study experiment didn't quite stick," the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has unveiled sweeping changes to the Sunday meeting schedule. Effective September 6, 2026, the beloved two-hour block will now cram in weekly Sunday School, Relief Society, Young Women, and priesthood quorum meetings—because nothing says "lifelong discipleship" like sprinting through spiritual nourishment at 25 minutes per class. The announcement, timed perfectly ahead of the April 2, 2026, general conference leadership session, promises to "strengthen gospel learning in homes and congregations throughout the world." Sources close to the matter confirm that "homes" will still be doing...
