A lot of people wasted tons of money on vitamins the last six months...

So the weekend is basically reversing a 3.5 year old policy and announcing some new temples and revelations?

I'm not sure there are enough vitamins in the world for that kind of change.

It's money laundering and how you funnel money to your friends that own business that will get the contracts.

I feel like Ralphy in Christmas story decoding the message "Drink your ovaltine".

Seriously.

I thought we already knew they were going to be renovating those temple?

What new temples were announced?

There are estimates they are worth upwards of 500 billion... they'll never hurt for cash.

Tooele?

Wow. You would think a lot of good in the world could be done with that much money!

That was the most excruciating conference weekend ever. What a monumental waste of time. Ugh. I would love to walk away from this cluster F and never look back. I HATE that my wife and family are held hostage to this crap. Why can’t they see through the BS?

Ugh. Rant over.

I heard Okinawa Japan. The church is in decline in Japan, but maybe there are enough members at the military base there to justify it.

Hungary, Chile, Samoa were a few that I heard.

Wow, those stands up front sure look old, white, and male.

They always announce a few in countries that seem unlikely to project to members that are growing all over.

Plus who knows how long it will take to actually get constructed.

Eventually they will run out of places to announce temples and renovations will be the only thing to announce.

Members get excited when they hear the announcements. But, then they forget about most of them and don't realize how many have been announced years ago that there still has not even been a ground breaking for yet....let alone completed.

We made it through. I'm exhausted.

Thank you MoPag (and everyone else who contributed)! You are all amazing.

Because a Mormon just believes.

Wow, what a let down. I thought on some level the Q15 wanted to make life easier and better for the average lay member. They really don't care. Whatever the reason for shorter church and all that, I doubt it had anything to do with the members' happiness and well being. The recent POX reversal; I thought on some level the Q15 cared that people were leaving and suffering and were responding to that. All they are doing is protecting their image to rest of the world... this conference convinced me that they care NOTHING about the members of the church; even less than I had supposed before. Pay and obey or get out.

I think by Nelson’s last talk we had all quit caring how horrible it was, because his talk was pretty bad. Or maybe we had all just been bored to death. But it HAD to deserve some points subtracted. But all I can remember from it was my eyes getting stuck at the top when I rolled them while thinking not again. So, it was terribly forgettable because I don’t remember a word he said. So, -10 for sheer forgetability.

I think there is something to this because I didn’t hear “time is running out” and I was watching. But it’s all over my fb feed . I thought we were done with the “end is soon stuff”.
