My name is Mike and I'm an ExMormon. I told numerous missionaries, security guards and volunteers on Temple Square that I was not a member of the Mormon church and yet I was told that I could attend the Priesthood session that was starting at 6:00 PM. I walked right in, waited an hour and a half, and received a ticket to attend the Priesthood session of General Conference. There were boys as young as 8 years old in attendance.
No faithful Mormon women were allowed to attend even though hundreds of them were just outside, standing in rain and hail, hoping to be allowed to watch what "the brethren" are teaching their sons. They've been told they can watch it on tv.
Many Mormons consider me to be a "son of perdition" and yet *I* can attend this "men and boys age 8 and up" meeting but the MOTHERS of those boys, often single mothers, aren't allowed to attend.
Why on earth would LDS, Inc. not allow a few hundred women to fill some seats in a nearly empty Tabernacle?

I wonder what goes through the leaderships mind when, at a once in 6 month event, they look out and see they are no longer a sell out attraction......
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)
They have to know that the jig is up. Gone are the days when they could hide the truth. I have to believe that many of the GAs know it is all BS. They are just in too deep to back out.

Imagine what it must be like to be called to be one of the twelve. You've waited all your life for this moment...to become a "special" witness of christ and then all you receive is the last piece of chocolate in the box.
