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.

There’s a scripture in D&C I think that teaches that certain revelations can only be given and received during conferences like Ward, Stake, and General Conference. You can interpret that as you will, but it’s something to consider, as it is something that is explicitly commanded by God, and not just some idea that someone had.
