Most Mormons will take the weekend off to do something much more fun together, and catch up on Conference content in bite-sized chunks in the following weeks once they are on the Church website.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I will forget there was ever such a thing as general conference except when I read this thread.

we all just have to live through it,

1. Eye witness testimony is notoriously unreliable. 2. The best evidence for The Book of Mormon is eye witness testimony, therefore… 3.The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is a type of evidence that is notoriously unreliable.
4. More than one eye witness increases likelihood that testimony is true if the testimony is corroborated by the other witnesses. More so than if the testimony relies on one eyewitness. Over time if the corroboration remains intact the testimony becomes even more reliable.

At least that’s the way I see it in this instance of the three Book of Mormon witnesses.

President Nelson will demote Elder Uchtdorf a second time, this time by making him emeritus (to prevent him from ever becoming church president).
Oh we can only pray he actually does something like this. We podcasters would have grist for the mill!
But that would mean the Church will never redeem itself.

It can't succeed, they keep putting in the oldest ding-a-ling they have imagining that makes them more true or something......

Looking at the FP as they left a conference session, someone remarked to me that it seems cruel to these old men to not allow them to "retire" while they likely still have some years of good health to spend time with family, etc.

It's conceivable that, without some such change, within a few years there will be a situation in which all 3 members of the FP, and the president of the Q12, will be effectively incapacitated.

Of course, as an apostate I should not worry - the faithful know that god's ways are not man's ways, and all is, and will continue to be, well in Zion.

They will still have younger men in Kirton McConkie and most importantly, the accountants in the Presiding Bishops Office. The Presiding Bishop will control the billions and Kirton McConkie can draft new proclamations and revelations around the board table.
