cl2, I'll take that bet. lets put up one of the golden oxen under the big tub in the basement. If Rusty croaks before next GC, you win it. If Rusty doesn't croak, then I win it. Either way, one of us will get a new lawn ornament.
I want to see Rusty volunteer for Habitat fo Humanity and help build a house like Jimmy Carter. They both are the same age.
I’ve never seen any general authority do any charitable service. They all travel with security and make people feel like they aren’t measuring up from their talks.
Whee, Whee, Rusty left the members with a cliffhanger about what to expect next April. Any guesses which of the nine versions of the "First Vision" that they'll celebrate?

And why not continue the celebration next April with versions of the club-swinging-toad story about JoJun getting laid on the bean by a damned amphibian while attempting to drag forth the Holy Golden Plates prematurely.
Have the Priesthood condemn all guardian toads on Saturday night.
Such twists in the tale could have thwarted the glorious hoax of "Restoration."
Nelson called the temple the crowning jewel of the restoration...well of course he did....it is the profit center of the church. How else would the members be coerced into donating 10+% of their income to the cult?
Nelson is kind of like PT Barnum. You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until the next conference rolls around.
Nelson knows the members like the prophet to make so called inspired changes. That's what he's done. Shorten church an hour. Cut out some redundancy and rename stuff.
Not much real change but the members think it's real change.
It will be the first ever combined Conference-and-funeral. Who will it be for? TBA....
The cult will bring 1,000 Africans (they're the most noticeable third world minority), and seat them on the front rows, with the cameras on them. Some of them will sing with the MoTab choir--nothing interesting or native African, mind you--just the same old Mormon dirges.
They will announce the end of the missionary program as they know it. Instead, they will be called "Disciples of Christ", and will teach and do people's yard work. Most of the missionary selling and door-knocking and harassing of the "less active" members will be the responsibility of the members.
There will be no more Mormons, and no more church members. They will be called "Saints unto Christ."
Nelson is right--one's imagination/inspiration runs wild in the middle of the night. I'm using a lighted computer.
I wonder how many attendees heeded Nelson's advice to overdose on their vitamins and strap themselves in their conference seats? It sounded like they needed to do that to stay awake.
