* any apologies for ChurchCo policies or methods

* doubt if the phrase ‘Christ-Like living’ will be spoken

* Except for the number of temples, operating, announced, and undergoing remodeling - renovation, very few numbers or factual statements

yours ?

I predict that once again they will fail to tell us where Zarahemla was.

It will be 90% of the content of the previous conference with even more Jesus added. We are gathering Israel by staying on the covenant path will be the same ol focus.

What won’t be mentioned is anything that makes the church look bad. It’s all your fault and you need to repent.

We can only hope they don’t use the phrase Christ-like living. I find the phrase extraordinarily annoying, and the accusation that “you’re not being very Christ-like” even worse.

They are two of the blunter tools in the Mormon guilt-trip tool bag. I would be delighted to see them gone. With the current program to convince the world that Mormons are too Christian, I fear they are here to stay.

won't be spoken: "you are released from the bondage/discomfort/inconvenience/bulk of your garments in daily life; however, you should wear them in the Temple to remind you of your covenants made there."

the use - substitution of ‘do you strive to be honest?’ Instead of ‘Are you honest with your fellowmen? (should be “with all others”) in the TRIQ was a mistake that was attributed to an unidentified computer hacker; computer data security has been improved and there will be no future similar incidents…

They will not say this:

We have horded your excess tithes and offerings for years and now get a nice return in the financial markets.

Since the returns from the markets and your annual giving is greater than 10% to God's only true church. We have received inspiration that your obligation has been reduced to 5% in these times of high inflation and costs to enable you to feed your families and follow the advice of Christ to help our brothers and sisters.

I predict I won't care what they say, because what they consistently FAIL to DO speaks louder than words.

They consistently FAIL to edit out the racist verses that make Mormon scriptures far more blatantly racist than any other scriptures on the planet, because racism and white supremacy, is the basis of Mormonism.

We have 100 billion dollars tucked away so you're all getting a refund check for last years tithing, your kids missions will be paid for, and your kids can go to the BYU of their choice for free.

If you own a shell company, we'd like to talk to you about working for the church hiding our assets. Great pay and very little effort.

Stop having so many kids, the world is over populated.

If someone you're ministering to doesn't want any more contact, just leave them alone and don't bother them.

If what the church teaches gives you the feeling of a bad spirit, you can disregard whatever we say.

Beer and wine isn't part of the WoW so go pull a tab or pop a cork and enjoy yourself.

Coffee is good for you so enjoy a few cups a day.

Feel free to laugh as long and as loud as you want.

I'd love to see Bednar try to read that statement out loud. I think his vocal chords would spasm/lock up.

Which means it is a perfectly reasonable list of changes in the real world, as opposed to the Mormon 'Truman Show'.

“We have been increasingly aware that Christ’s gospel was never one of exclusion; therefore all worthy females may have access to the blessings of holding HFs Priesthood…

We trust local stake presidents to fully implement this directive in their stakes no later than 4/1/2023.

I think we should be allowed to vote on the question: "Should any Prophet be allowed to live past the age of 110?"

Let's see...

* Adam is God.

* Brigham Young was a leader in racial thinking.

* Plural marriage will now be allowed on Earth as it is in the Celestial Kingdom.

* Joseph Smith was greater than Jesus Christ.

* Warren Jeffs is practicing true Mormonism.

I should note that some of what I've written above was/is practiced in the LDS church of yesterday/today but the leadership doesn't want it spoken about because it doesn't want the negative publicity.

Unless you want to be a god or a goddess in a harem in a celestial existence, General Conference has no part in your personal goal set.
