I think I'll break with the group on this this one and give him 10. At least his talk has some real life relevance given all the ways the Internet has made gambling available.

Hooray!

Every six months MoPag brings NOM back from Message-Board-Spirit-Prison for the LD$-inc. propaganda-fest.

Thanks to everyone who suffers the torture of listening to dishonest old MORmON codgers!

Not surprised about the "apostles are cool" part.

There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.

If you have 1 million people that want to attend the temple this year and 10 temples then there will be approximately 100,000 visits per temple.

If you have 1 million people that want to attend the temple and 200 temples then you will get 5000 visits to each temple per year.

It's not rocket science. Keep building temples and you will less and less attendance at each one.

Yeah, it does seem like a no-brainer. Double the number of temples and the attendance at each (all other things being equal) will decrease by half.

That's horrible! :o :( :evil:

Thank you MoPag - and the others who tell us what was said. I forgot it was GenConf until today - and it took me until noon to get on here to read the Nom Conference threads. I appreciate the comments, especially if something unusual was said (I know it's rare, but it's possible) - or something different like when Monson fell down suddenly (or was it him and someone else?). Anyway, I appreciate these threads.
