The speaker went on to state the obvious: That general advice from the Church to its membership can't possibly apply to every member in every situation. A lot of Church members seem to forget that fairly obvious point.

If somebody figures out what talk I'm referring to from my very vague description (may have been Oaks?), that would be cool.
I remember that talk well. Unfortunately, I don't remember the speaker, but it seems like it was in April conference. I'm going to try and find it.
