    The 182nd Annual General Conference Thread

    Brought to you by City Creek Center: now open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.

    I'll be especially interested to hear the number of baptisms read, as the correlation between BYU football's success and the missionary program's success in their own respective fields is undisputed. I expect a slight uptick; 10 wins, yes, but significant turmoil, too.

    Over-under on pr0n talks: 2. I think they're starting to look to new material.

      The great thing about conference is that my wife tries to make us watch is, but even she flames out after about an hour. I'm looking forward to the naps.

        I predict a very uneventful conference. I wonder if the speakers have been admonished to tone it down significantly and stick to basic touchy/feely themes given the current political climate.

        I also predict some moderate discussion of the CCC, touchy briefly on how wonderful of an edifice it is juxtaposed next to the temple.

          I'm sure the Carol Mikita hour between sessions will have plenty on the CCC.

            I predict they will announce 5 new temples and the last one will make the congregation gasp and then laugh.

            Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                  I like to record it 15 minutes behind so I can skip the hymns.

                    And the prayers. If I'm not in the same room, it seems weird to bow my head for a prayer.
                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      Skipping hte general auxiliary and any speakers not int he 1Q70 or above is also a good way to go. I'm also usually tending the smoker, getting lunch ready inbetween sessions.

                          I don't watch anymore, I just show up periodically and get the straight scoop on CUF.
