PBS Interview with Dallin Oaks

Posted in January, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged Dallin Oaks, PBD on 01/29/2026| 6 Comments »

“…Hell is a kingdom of glory.” — Dallin Oaks

January 29 — In April 2007 PBS aired the documentary ‘The Mormons’. It highlighted a short bio of the Church which included clips with those in the know of Mormon history. Helen Whitney interviewed Dallin Oaks who at the time was an LDS apostle. None of the things he said were new but it’s always shocking to me how blatantly wrong they are about the Lord and His word.

Today we’re looking at a few of the things Mr. Oaks had to say about his church. (more…)

October 16 — A couple of days ago we looked at two things Dallin Oaks said during his tenure as an LDS apostle.

Yesterday we all woke up to the news that he is now the 18^th Prophet/President of the LDS Church.

It seems odd that someone would be called a prophet/president of a church. I’ve searched but haven’t found anything in the Bible that remotely suggests such a thing. (more…)

LDS Church Doctrine Centers on Family

Posted in General Conference October 2025, tagged Dallin Oaks, false prophet, templwa on 10/11/2025| 1 Comment »

October 11 — Today we have a few questions about the talk given by Mr. Dallin Oaks at this last GC.

1.Why is the Church’s doctrine center on the family and not Jesus?

2.Why was Oaks so quick to announce there wouldn’t be any new temples? We have to wonder what was going on behind the scene… See President Oaks: ‘We will not announce any new temples at this conference’. (more…)
