I seriously doubt that they will announce the location of Zarahemla.

“Have faith that the thinking has been done and realize that truths aren’t important in the Plan of Salvation. Don’t let the adversary lead you astray with tawdry, useless facts. The brethren will never make paying your tithing difficult and they fervently want what’s best for you as you support and sustain them!”

boring; little or no new/original thoughts, fewer new/original ideas.
Russ in charge, speakers know to defer to the Emperor, regardless of situation/circumstances.
Wendy likely to get recognized, possibly a new 'calling'.

Does the sit on the stand with him in GC? Or does she sit down on the first row with Sheri?

A statue of Mr. Clean will replace Moroni on all Mormon temples. They will leave it up to members to guess whether it's Nelson, Oaks or Eyring.

It will be boring, that’s for sure.

One thing I noticed as a mormon is that general authorities just repeat the same stuff. The fact they have to do this twice a year under great pomp and circumstance just shows it is a tactic in brainwashing.

There will be more changes I’m sure.

If you think about it, the mormon church makes no sense. They say that god doesn’t change and they have the whole truth, so why the need for continuing “revelation”? And if there are no changes then why the need for general conference?
It doesn’t make sense. Why can’t they see how absurd it all is?!

Who here is going to watch the whole thing just to get the one or two bits that will be unsavoury and interesting enough to discuss here?

all the time. I used to wonder about that when I was active mormon. The biggest things I found that they changed were the temple and the blacks getting the priesthood. Hey, so why not allow gays to be married in the temple? I didn't think it was that big of a deal for them to find that answer back in 1983 if they could make such a big change as blacks getting the priesthood, but then that doesn't involve sex, so no big deal.

I have never watched the whole thing since I went inactive. You can get all the news you need to know here during the whole weekend.

I remember going to the local grocery store on a Saturday evening some years ago BEFORE my daughter went back to the church and men were there in suits with their sons in Sunday clothing, and my daughter and I looked at each other and laughed. We didn't even know it was conference as we were that far removed from it all. She's in Tennessee visiting her friend (who I can't stand). She probably went this weekend to miss church (she has been gone every weekend for a month) and she has to be home to hear conference without going to a stake center somewhere. It is of the utmost importance.

My prediction is that Rusty will look into the camera and make statements about how we need to go back to the church, we unclean people.

Having been actually inspired by God, each of the Lord's Anointed will stand and deliver "The Proclamation on the Chaos."

The only true church will begin multi-pronged social movements that attack head-on sugar addiction, obesity, global digital pornography elimination, the cure for human-prejudice blind spots, mandated vaccinations for increased ethical behavior, removing all cash in existence, forgiving all debts, liberating all prisoners and pushing 24/7/365 for chemtrails that infuse every lung with common sense nano-nodes.

Within three weeks after Conference, mankind will be completely transformed into a family of friends that care. Transnational powers that were structured for maximal human exploitation will simply disappear.

Now, let's cut these clowns some slack, y'all.

You are about to experience the power of the Holy Ghost on steroids.

You're welcome.

General Conference is next week? I'm officially so far unattached that I didn't even remember that...or even think about it!

The usual:
Pay your tithing.
We always loved our Negroes.
We love our gay brothers and sisters...but still that lifestyle is wrong, wrong, WRONG!!!
We're not racist, we have Black seventies (now).
Joseph Smith was a prophet. Brigham young was a prophet. Please focus on their good aspects. Ignore what you've heard.
Did we mention that you have to pay your tithing?

We haven't heard from "Zarahemla Town Drunk" in quite a while. One of my favorite screen names.

They will announce a way to sell your kidney as a way to really show your devotion to Church Co. You only need one and Jesus will love you more if you give up your back up kidney.

Plus, with everyone becoming a slacker it's a way to show you really are God's beloved. Come to church in bandages and clean the toilets.

Not many people will show up, especially if the weather is nice, and there will be an obvious and disturbing number of vacant seats.

But the Mormons and KSL are prepared for this eventuality, and they will cut to audience shots from the last conference, when they bussed in a lot of Mormons from Idaho, and those visitors came over from Africa. So, if you're wondering why the congregation are dressed in spring clothes, you will know why.

A bunch of nice suits will suffer the indignity of being worn by apostles. They’ll be so happy to be dry cleaned afterwards.

No one is enthused. It is all about endurance.
