Changes Made to Frankfurt Germany Completion Estimate
Between this development and those I reported earlier, it is clear that I will need to take yet another look at all of the completion estimates which I have offered here and perhaps revisit many of them. But there is nothing so constant as change, so that's to be expected. I will have the revised estimates put up on this blog ASAP.
In the meantime, I am going to make a prediction right here and now. During the administrations of Presidents Hinckley and Monson, there were a number of instances where a senior member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles presided at a temple dedication or rededication. With that in mind, I am thinking that President Nelson will not hesitate to ask Elder Uchtdorf, who has officiated at such events previously and is a German native, to officiate at this rededication.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
Edmonton Temple- The
ReplyDeletetemple will be closed from
June 24 to November 6.
These are the sessions until
then. Please attend as often
as you can.
Since nothing has been officially announced in that regard, and since that has not been confirmed in any way on the Church's official page for this temple, or the main or Canadian versions of Mormon Newsroom, I should very much like to know where you got this information. Until such confirmation is provided, I find it hard to believe, since the Church always confirms any such closures through official channels, especially when such a closure is longer than a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteAnd as one who extensively monitors such developments, I am sure I would find such confirmation somewhere, if it existed anywhere. I always try to assume good faith on the part of those who comment here on my blog, buy I do find myself wondering if you are one of those people that make easily discreditable claims to draw attention to yourself. If that is not the case, I apologize but would ask that you would please take time to ensure that what you are claiming can be verified by a reliable source, and post a link to that source so we can all be sure what you say is correct. Until you post verification on the Edmonton closure, your claim above does not seem credible. I hope you are not offended by this comment. I certainly mean no offense and hope this can indeed be verified if it is, in fact, an accurate claim.
