For 40 years I listened with rapt attention to G.C., and for the last 2 I’ve been on a “fast”, and I am so much happier as a result. Most talks produce insight equivalent to a random phrase generator pulling from a Correlation database. Do you think E. Bednar still wonders why he hasn’t seen Jesus? Me neither.

I often struggle with conference, I think it’s very difficult to listen to one side of an issue and decide or accept, (even a stopped clock is right twice a day!) so I often have trouble understanding the faithful excitement about such simple explanations just because they come from a GA standing at the pulpit! To me it’s just not that simple, there are certainly reasons to church and there are reasons not to church too Pharisaically which I believe the church and organized religion in general struggles with – why isn’t that addressed by these men?. Old men? I’ve watched several people go through dementia, they all had their lucid moments but couldn’t take care of their own daily needs in between! My inability to just accept the main stream simple view apparently makes me a poor member but I never understood why shutting off our minds makes us good. Why is that so desirable? Isn’t the glory of God intelligence and doesn’t the D&C define his church as those who repent and come unto him?

Maybe I missed it, but did Elder Christofferson mention “worship” as a reason for the church?

I was encouraged by Elder Bednar’s talk. I felt a real affinity for him for the first time. It was a comforting and valuable endcap to the conference

I wonder if anyone who was complained that the church is led by old men will feel just a little bit guilty about that after Elder Bednar’s talk.
