      Ballard takes a swing at essential oils.

      There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        Here I thought he was subtly referring to the Snufferites.

            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                  Not a great talk.

                  The New Zealander's talk was much better.

                        Nationalism and Racism were losers in this conference. That was nice to see. I'm sure purposeful wife is disappointed.

                          A few years back, I had to miss all of conference for work reasons. After, I realized that I didn't have my semi-annual "WTF am I doing in this church?" moment, and I was overall a much better Mormon to be around. Although I'll admit I've listened to a few sessions since, I can honestly say that not tuning in keeps my testimony from disintegrating semi-annually. Sounds like missing Callister's talk was a good thing.

                            I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

                              reflecting on this, i think this is lowkey the most damaging gc talk in a long time
