"I look forward to more enlightenment and revelation as to how homosexuals are not born gay, but choose to be such. I'm also interested in hearing more about the $4BN mall the church is building and whether my tithing helped fund it. I feel proud to be part of owning such a great and spacious building."
They don't like me much over there, but they don't delete my comments.
Wow. I never thought about it that way. Yeah, conference is like watching people get tortured. In a certain way, it might even be considered sadistic. lol.
On another front, many of them also seem to enjoy the torture. The knife blades are so sharp as they pierce the skin, the guilt and shame being driven so effortlessly deep. Really, conference is almost like a mormon version of BDSM.
And as the knife blade goes deep, it quivers just so slightly, the bondage so severe it's just erotic and orgasmic for them.
Ron - you crack me up! Way to go. I'm glad I'm Conference free these days. I used to love it but weirdly, can't remember learning anything watching it. We'd make a fancy breakfast/brunch both days and watch all 4 sessions while working on some project like a quilt for the homeless. But I don't remember any of the messages sinking in. Just more of the same ol same, ol droning on.
Nowadays it makes me mad because I can see how they take potshots at inactives an non-Mormons.
The only general conference talk I still recall (mind you, haven't been to or listened to one since the early 80's) -- oh wait a minute, it was a stake conference.
Anyhoo, it was the guy that was a victim of the Hi Fi murders who attributed his survival to refusing to drink the drano they were told was alcohol to his staunch adherence to the word of wisdom...or something like that.
