I was simply thinking of a place that could really use a temple. Currently, they have to drive all the way to Provo!

I mean really what has his administration done beside adding one additional "Mission" goal for the church.
I think this is a real influence in the minds of church leaders about how they will be remembered. Monson was called so young to be an apostle that everyone including him thought he would probably be president someday. Priesthood for women would be something he would be remembered for as long as the church exists. I cannot think of a better one for the benefit of the church other then admitting the church is not the one true church.

In fact, the spirit has confirmed to me that this is just a silly teaser to trick people into watching conference.
We'll see who is more prophetic this October...me or Tom.
It's not the first time I have heard rumors of some big revelation in an upcoming Conference.
I'm not going to watch Conference because, as bcspace points out, it isn't official until it appears in the Ensign - then we'll find out what was really said...

Why would TBMs want or like less church time? Is it that they find it repetitive and boring? It is. Does god really require someone to be bored for hours every week to get into heaven?
For TBMs that want less church time, have I got a revelation for you? At the Church of sock puppet we have zero hour block.

That's still slightly too long...

True, and even the new Provo City Temple will only cut the drive from 22 to 18 minutes, longer for the poor fools who live near the border with Mapleton, although people living near the south Springville exit will get some minor relief from their suffering when the Payson temple opens.
The word on the street is that seminary and institute buildings will be redesigned to accommodate wedding ceremonies which will proceed same day temple sealings.

At the Church of the Fence Sitter we worship for hours each Sunday, Monday & Thursdays. We are only allowed bathroom and food breaks during timeouts and halftime. It is really grueling at times but the rewards are there for those who endure to the end. (Especially so if you attended last night's service where the Lord performed miracles for his Seahawks and punished the prideful Packers.)
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
