I don't get why the Priesthood session isn't televised.
They make it sound like some sort of a special session that The Priesthood (backbone of the church) is to receive seperate and special counsel, but I have never been to one of these sessions where I heard anything (except, do missionary work, not porn) that wasn't available during the rest of the conference.
Many times we were told that we Brethren had to be there, it was imperetive and important counsel, but every time, I walked away thinking- dang! I lost another Saturday night with my wife.
And is it special or even specific to Priesthood? Not really. I mean, the whole membership and world can read it in the Ensign next month unedited. And it isn't any different than the other dozen talks.
As near as I can tell, it is en exercise in obedience for the men. Ands an opportunity to get bawled out the following Sunday in Priesthood meeting for not showing up.
