To all those who will be speaking at GC in a few weeks:
I know that your talks are already mostly ready, but I wanted to add a few things to think about before you spout off too much drivel. My suggestions:
You are not smarter than the rest of us.
You are not closer to God than the rest of us.
You are not more moral than the rest of us.
The Book of Mormon is not nearly as impressive as you think.
Pleasant emotions are not the same as revelations. We all have pleasant emotions. Yours are not better than ours. Do you have some demonstrable evidence to the contrary? We'd all like to know.
When we challenge you, we are not challenging God. We are challenging you.There's a difference.
Finally: We would gladly follow God's prophets. The problem is, I don't know any. Do you? I mean real prophets. BTW, being a right-wing nut job is not adequate qualification.
Thank you.

I would rather have dental surgery than listen to ANY part of Conference BS 101. Same crap, regurgitated over and over and over again to a bunch of fearful, brainless Morgbots. UGH.
Make one prediction. Just ONE. You are prophets. This is the last days. I paid 10% of my labor, and I don't want to lose my family or my soul to hell. Say something, ANYTHING!
Just for once I want one GA to break rank and start talking off script just full blown truth live action. He would get murdered the following day but owe well.
better in which way, exactly? Spouting nonsense? Exuding an aura that implies you think you are wonderful and extra speshul (more 'equal') than others? Believing you have more god-given 'power' over non-believers, or those with lesser 'priesthood authority', as GA's seem to think they do?
Mormons can generalise very well when they want to - they can do the opposite and be very specific when they want to, too, but generalising is what they do best when putting you down. Heads they win, tails you lose.
I always hated being dragged along to priesthood session. Every year all they did was get all upset and teary eyed over the fact that a lot men watch porn and masturbate.
