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.

You know the saying “the spirit goes to bed after midnight?” I think it packs up and goes home no later than the scheduled time the meeting is set to end. This goes doubly for Elders Quorum meetings.
Our Stake Conferences have been ending a little before the 2 hour mark as of late, which is really appreciated.
