Southwest has published a 3-day sale with great savings starting this morning. For me, tickets to Salt Lake have been hovering anywhere from $350 and up - no matter which airlines or site I checked. Been that way for months. I can save almost a hundred dollars if I act now. Just wanted to let everyone who might be considering coming to Conference that now would be the time to leap if you can

We are making some changes to our website, and as a result of that, I haven't been able to get the agenda for the Conference on the web site yet. I don't want to wait any longer to let you know who will be speaking.

The Board of the Exmormon Foundation is VERY pleased to let you know that GRANT PALMER, author of "Insider's View of Mormonism" will be a featured speaker at our yearly Conference in Salt Lake City. Recommendations to book him have probably been #1 on the list of requests I've received over several years. We are very excited to have him share his story with us. As soon as I com

I'm letting our community know that the Foundation now has a "reader" for credit card transactions. At this point, it can be used for purchasing our DVDs, paying for either level of memberships, and donations (the donation program starts at $5.00 and goes up in $5.00 increments). In a little while it can be used for Conference registrations if for some reason you do not want to use ou

I should have put Embassy Suites in Salt Lake as the location for the Conference. The phone number there is 801.359.7800. That goes to the main desk, and you have to ask for Reservations. I will let everyone know when we have any pertinent information up on the website. Sue

I wasn't being literal when I said "tithing"!! There's a whole hell of a lot more that members "give" that keeps this corporation going. Tithing is given in countless ways besides money -- and it all goes to keeping the corporation prosperous. They truly sicken me.

How about the 3-story excavation that took them over a year, before ANY building had started. What about the demolition that had to take place What about all the buildings they purchased (and businesses they probably paid to get out early). There are dozens of things they have spend money on that isn't figured into building costs. The bottom line is that the citizens of Salt Lake City wil

We are getting queries about seeing the video and/or listening to the audio of the Conference two weeks ago. We WILL have the audio up on the website and videos up on Youtube just as soon as we can. Since we're a "volunteer" organization, sometimes things can be slow. One improvement this year will be that we are now able to upload a video without having to break it into segments.

Some of you may have heard all the commentary and slurs directed at the church yesterday in the news. "Cult" was the word being slammed about. Huffington News dedicated a whole page to it, which is unusual for them. Here's the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/lds-church

Dress code is pretty casual. We'd rather not have anyone wear shorts, or something deliberately offensive, but other than that, we run the gambit from jeans to skirts during the day for the women, and jeans to slacks for the men.
