The Challenge:

- Do not watch general conference
- Do not listen to general conference
- Do not read about general conference
- Do not ask about general conference

The world will go on without you knowing what was said. Spend your limited life doing something more enjoyable.

Good advice.

I hope I can convince my wife to do the same. We could use some high-quality family time with the girls...

Much better than my suggestion: drink a shot every time a speaker says "the adversary" (or would "doubt" be a better word?).

That is the plan!
But I am curious to know what threats the Q15 will spew this time around, like Ballard's: "Will will you go?" and Holland's: "Don't you dare bail! I get furious with people that bail!" Then there was some rant about pulling taffy! lmbo

Here is a quote of that famous mormon spew of his:

"Don’t you dare bail. I am so furious with people who leave this church. I don’t know whether ‘furious’ is a good apostolic word. But I am. What on earth kind of conviction is that? What kind of patty-cake, taffy-pull experience is that? As if none of this ever mattered, as if nothing in our contemporary life mattered, as if this is all just supposed to be “just exactly the way I want it and answer every one of my questions and pursue this and occupy that and defy this – and then maybe I’ll be a Latter-Day Saint”?!

If you can read this without retching, I'm impressed.

Not really. I hadn't heard him say that so it didn't have any effect in my life. Has just as little now that I've heard it. :)

Sunbeep - I did not retch. But I did chuckle.

Sorry Straw Mutt, but since I was an avid Mad Magazine reader I know it is important that the White Spy know what the Black Spy is doing or else he will get blown to smithereens. I won't watch conference or listen to it, but I'm gonna be wary of what sneaky shit they are up to.

I have a half marathon to run on Saturday morning. That's much more important than drooling over the Geriatric 15.

I will be strong it will help if I make big plans out of town so nobody calls me about it. Maybe I should stop reading posts about it to remind as well.
