Is the Jeffs deadline this week? If so, nothing happening down here as far as I can tell.

Thanks for that, good info and I can believe you write a book a week for a living.

Living Prophets
-or-
Public relations correct material
Few outside the active mormon population sit like zombies through GC speeches - so they are geared for the faithful
common areas for non-mormons to encounter the ‘living prophets’ are carefully sculpted for content and presentation IMHO.
Can ANYone just wander into the GC speechs?
Do they check IDs or TRs?
I've killed more trees than Dutch Elm disease. At least on Free Republic I'm not required to use appropriate punctuation and correct spelling and grammar, nor do I need to annotate every substantive thought. And I can start sentences with 'and' and 'but.' And I'm allowed to spew things from memory, which is only 93.4% accurate. Or 86.9%. I don't remember which.
Well if the Apocalypse happens, ping me. Running joke in our family when we can’t get ahold of anyone is “Did the Rapture happen and I missed it? I HATE when that happens!”
Televised over an lds cable channel that can be subscribed to by the public iirc

Clarification few outside the active Mormon population CAN sit through General Conference. Once, when we lived in Phoenix, MrR wanted to watch Conference because of the organ and MoTab choir. So, I agreed. 15 minutes in, he fell asleep he was so bored and the tone so monotone. He realized then just what an avenue for brainwashing conference is.
Back in the day (when I was LDS) and Conference was held in Tabernacle you needed tickets to watch in person, in Utah it was on BYU TV, and outside Utah you went to the local Stake Center and watched via sattelite. Now, most cable/satellite companies carry BYU TV so you can watch it on there. I am assuming you still need tickets to watch it in person.
Do the 15%ers wail like North Koreans when the Dear Leader dies?
pretty close.
That Conference is PURE CHLOROFORM!!!
I get sleepy just trying to remember it...
Ok then; DON’T take our word for it!
Watch one yourself!!
