Yeah, sadly it means you're a freaky christian and need to get a life. Jezzus didn't die for your sex sins, baby -- you committed them and you'll take them with you into the next life. Quit trying to pawn your sins on jezzus' back. When you do something bad, take the beating yourself baby. You christians are always trying to punish poor jezzus for your own crimes. Own up! be an adult for god's sake!

Isn't it funny that this year Conference is all Jesusy, tithing doesn't get mentioned


Jesus was mentioned about the same as always; lots. But feel free to desire more exhortation to pay tithing. I'll bet you're not square with the Lord on that matter.

Put your faith in jezzus! He'll hop a mile for you!

Come, lord jezzus -- hop off the cross if you're really the son of the Toad.

We can see tens of thousands of pilgrims - of 14.000.000 members - at Temple Square, can't we?

Because I pay my tithing and I'm so blessed!

Were a non-member sitting in a Mormon sacrament meeting today I'm sure they'd be out the door and never come back.

At 13:24, You can hear Hungarian words.

Could You cite any Hungarian word from any prophet, seer, revelator and translator?
It would be a gesture only, nothing to do with redemption...

No He wasn't.
LDS.org gives us the opportunity to search each Conference by topic.
This makes it very easy to see that the latest Conference was indeed far more Jesusy than normally is the case. Lots more extra Jesusy topping.

It is also very clear that tithing was dropped from Conference at coincidentally the exact same time as the Church's Brand New, Multi Billion Dollar, High End Shopping Mall opened.

Why do Mormons think tithing (the donation of a specified amount of personal funds towards further the Church's business ventures) is necessary?

Once one has a temple sealing one can do what the hell one wants (except shedding innocent blood) and still get into the CK (see D&C 132). So, I will see you there.

Was tithing not mentioned entirely? Anyone hazzard to guess how long it has been since the principle of tithing was passed over during all four sessions of conference?

The word was not used during any session of Conference.
Mind you, the Church has never had a grand opening for a Mall in the same week as Conference before.
