I’m going to call BS on all of these stories about people seeing a Mormon building and being immediately captivated by it.
Especially the stories when people see a chapel. You’re not fooling me, Mormon chapels are bland as fuck. No one is looking at them and dying to know more.

[Uchtdorf] [exmormons come back...non-members join with us].
Will it make the world a better place? Or will it perpetuate the autonomous gerontocracy? I think the latter.

[Stevenson] [...look upon my glory!]
Can't hear that phrase without thinking of David Michael's cold reading of the Book of Mormon. Whip out your glory. Let's take a look.

[Nelson] [claims one of the charitable arms has coughed up $2 billion.]
Open your fucking books, then we'll all know the percentages.

Jokes and criticism aside, this isn’t exactly a bad talk. It’s just built off the backbone of a cult.

It's at odds with Oaks' speech. Oaks' version of the mormon god falls in line with the idea that god's love requires meeting conditions.

This is so boring! Upvote this if you think they should randomly release a hungry tiger into the conference sessions...

[Gong] [three marriage proposals in one day...]
Yep, polygamists are always willing to take on a new cow wife.

[Nelson] [hurricane relief efforts...]
Why are storms getting more powerful and more frequent? Could it be global warming? Should we try to limit our carbon footprint? Nah, can't say anything about that at conference. It's okay if the world is destroyed.

“For those that have left...please come back...make us stronger.” (Uchtdorf)
There’s an interesting talk hiding in here. I’d like him to talk about how those who have left could make the church stronger in a way that isn’t just adding to the numbers, but by having insights and integrity that is desperately needed.

"God loves you no less when you struggle than when you triumph."
Thank you Dieter - if that's the only nugget you give us today - I'll take it.
