-10 to Dieter...doesnt he know this Joseph Smith's weekend...HOW DARE HE bring up Jesus.

I hope this isn't really subtracted from his score. I'd give him +25 for talking about Jesus.

He had the vision before 1830, but maybe he didn't tell too many people before then. I mean, he did tell his father and a minister, then word spread. But he still could have organized a church without spreading around the first vision because the religion was based on the Book of Mormon not the visi...

There are threads on the sessions of conference. You could skim them, but from what I've read, it isn't really much different than other conferences. A new logo. A new proclamation on something or other. A hosanna shout with hankies, but I still don't understand why.

Do you think they could have shoehorned a few more words into the title of this thing??? I'm reminded of what the (now defunct) blog Reasoning With Vampires used to say about Stephenie Meyers' writing: "sentences are not minivans." :lol: What is the title of the proclamation? ********** I ditto thi...

Tillamook used to do a white licorice years and years ago on location, which was both delicious and didn't leave your mouth black/green. I wish they'd bring it back.

I would definitely try that if it came around.

This is more of a wish than a prediction but I loved it if RMN stood up and said," My dear brothers and sisters, in light of the financial hardships our members face due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lord has revealed to me that the church has more than enough to sustain its operations. For the per...

Sheesh read the room people!!!

Nobody's in the room.

Wasn't it part of the old sandstone foundation story that BY wanted the foundation rebuilt on granite so that it would last until and through the milennium? I thought I remember being told that the foundation was explicitly revealed to survive earthquakes. Yep, I was taught that for years. It was g...

People are really supposed to raise their hands in their homes? Seriously...this is ridiculous!

I was at a friend's house watching conference 6 or 7 years ago and we raised our hands in his home to vote opposed. We figured angels and God were watching.

-1000 for saying that Joseph knew he had to find the true church to gain forgiveness. No, make that -10,000. It just occurred to me that this might be an attempt to harmonize the accounts. The most prevalent theme across all of them is forgiveness, but it isn't in the 1838 account at all. But in ze...

According to Ranker, the top ten most popular ice creams are: 1. Cookies and Cream 2. Vanilla 3. Chocolate Chip 4. Chocolate 5. Strawberry 6. Vanilla Bean 7. French Vanilla 8. Moose Tracks 9. Rocky Road 10. Coffee This list seems rather loaded toward vanilla. It does not match my own list. What wou...

Do we get to give Joseph worship points for all the advertisements for books and movies about “Young Joseph” and such because I have seen ads for about three different versions. Over and over, every time I look up from my video game. I wouldn't, because-technically-it wasn't during conference itself.

No, make that -10,000.

And, thus, new doctrine and new history has just been born.

Hey! I was told I was the greatest generation, by Hinckley! What's going on?

Well, I was told it in the 1970s by whoever was prophet then, and that's the generation when Saturday's Warrior was written to prove it!

What's the Joseph/Jesus count up to now?

So, Im struggling with how to count this. The whole talk is about Joseph Smith. Does that only count once? Or once per paragraph?

Lets say a solid talk on one of the them gets 20 points.

Much easier to compute.

I am literally making popcorn in hopes that something interesting will be said today. Yum. Good idea. It even looked like they moved over some big red chairs for them to sit in at six feet apart. Got to have their big red chairs. They're old. Their bones can't handle anything but the cushy chairs. ...

There will be a "mega thread" for each session...

Thanks. For some reason, I thought this was the thread for Saturday. I shoulda looked around.

I can tell by the total lack of comments that they probably aren't really saying anything.

Someone said in another online place that Mr. Nelson is going to lead a hosanna shout tomorrow.

I can't embed a photo here, but below is a link to a screen shot I took at the beginning of today's conference for those not watching, yet are curious as to where they are meeting, what it looks like. (That's all I opened the conference for. It's closed now, and I wait to know if anything interestin...

I always deduct points for use of that phrase. Also "...gather[ing] Israel on both sides of the veil." -10 I think "even" such and such is usually deducted a little, too. (Maybe only one point.) "Even our beloved prophet," even though the word is used to make a phrase flowery and not in the usual s...
