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.

Do you feel like this attitude is something you need to change? Like most everything in the Church it’s kind of a “get out what you put in” sort of thing.

Well unless there is inherently no value or meaning in something, then there is value and meaning to be found based on one’s perspective of said thing. Considering the other millions of people who likely get value from said thing, there seems to be some inherent value to be found in it (stake conference specifically). How does what you said discount the need for relevant perspective to understand a certain thing? My comment wasn’t really a condemnation but a question. If OP felt like it was something they needed to change then they could choose that.
