I don't think they're unseemly as much as embarrassingly lame.Originally posted by Portland Ute View PostThe worst part of conference for me is the commercialism surrounding the GC sessions.

The barrage of advertisements on KSL before and after sessions seems...unseemly...to me.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

I'm a couple of hours behind here, and will get further behind as the day goes on, but I thought that President Packer's talk was wonderful, and I say that as someone who is not a huge President Packer fan. The message was very good, and it was, to me, quite touching.
I don't ever remember coming out of conference saying "My favorite talk was President Packer's", but I may well think that after this weekend is over.

Last year there were 272,814 convert baptisms. BYU went 10-3 this year, but with the QB controversey, I expect only a slight uptick.Last edited by All-American; 03-31-2012, 01:15 PM.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

Why do you think there was an increase in covert baptisms this year? Is it because of the growing anti-mormonism with the election?Originally posted by All-American View PostLast year there were 272,814 covert baptisms.

Larry EchoHawk gets a calling.
I guess being a prominent Democrat doesn't get you blacklisted even in 2012.
