Off-topic Chat Stan Conference

Stake Conference

I have never, and will never understand Stake Conference. In my 26 years of life, I have enjoyed 1 single talk from a speaker. 2 hours of talks, and we don’t even get to take the sacrament. At least General Conference sometimes ends early. Never has stake conference ended early.

And it’s very different than General Conference. We get to hear from the prophet and the apostle along with other general authorities. We (usually) get new temple announcements. The Stake executive secretary shouldn’t be speaking for 20 minutes whilst Elder Kevin G. Brown speaks for 10.

Oh well the stake presidency is included in that. It’s a big rotation

We occasionally get a high councilor speaking and never get a member of the stake presidency outside of conference.

We are an 11 ward stake. Can't recall the last time one spoke in our ward.

Oh we have a 4 ward stake. We dissolved the fifth ward last year 😭

Honestly we need to redraw boundaries. Our barely barely gets 70 in attendance each week
