183rd Annual General Conference Predictions

One of the women that prays will be Ann Dibb...this will draw the ire of many.

The yw presidency will be released.

He has looked more and more frail over the past couple of years.

I've heard (here?) that TSM is in some stage of dementia; is it only a matter of time until DFU/HBE are running the show completely?

That would be interesting...I can't imagine that's the kind of info that would get out easily, but in this day and age, it wouldn't be surprising to see it leak either.

It wasn't that long ago the church had to have GBH and TSM run the show for ETB.

Right. It's just a function of age, and that's fine.

[Moliere]

I predict the mention of HT & VT with the added verbage of not being temple worthy if you do not fulfill this calling. Possible added to the TR interview.

You can bet the farm on this. We had stake conf a few weeks ago and our visiting GA called it both a miracle and a revelation countless times. And here I thought it was a policy change.

This is a good idea though. If Google starts referring to all the gmail format changes as revelations maybe people won't complain so much.

I don't have any scientific evidence, but I believe his mental acuity has slipped over the past few years.

That would be surprising.

Yes it would be. I don't expect it to happen any time soon, if ever. Heading up to the DC Temple sucks. It's difficult to plan for because it could take us 75 minutes to get there or 3 hours to get there. And it could be just as bad on the return trip. Having 3 little ones makes it difficult and impossible with a nursing baby to get to the temple because even though we're only about 75 miles away it can be a day trip because of traffic.

It took us 3 to 3.5 hours to get to DC, so I feel your pain. One of us would take the kids to the Smithsonian Zoo while the other would do a session. Unfortunately, I can remember several occasions where utilization was low, so I'm not sure they are going to prioritize a temple relatively nearby any time soon.

Two hour Church block:

Sacrament: 50 minutes
SS: 35 minutes
PH/RS: 35 minutes

Think how much the Church would save on building costs with that change -- they wouldn't have to build any more chapels for years.

I felt the Spirit reading this post.

Trying to decide if I'm going to take my son to Priesthood and then go out to dinner together on Saturday night or watch the Final Four games.

Probably will go to Priesthood session and try to sequester myself from Final Four results and watch the games on the DVR late Saturday night.

I predict I'll be in Atlanta watching the games in person. Watch for me on tv. I'll be the guy in the top row of the arena wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, boots and a speedo.

I will pass on watching for you but will love to hear about your experience.

[RC Vikings]

While I agree with you 100%, I'm inclined to think that those that make the decisions are probably closer to making a 4 hour block instead of a 2 hour.

That would be terrible. I'd down to two hours already and it's still more than I can handle most Sundays.

That reminds me of something I saw in San Francisco once.

You too, huh?

Every couple of months I make it to priesthood to see if it is better or will bring me closer to God. And every time it does, as I fervently pray that my iPad battery won't run out.
