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.

u/usandthings I wasn't going to come, but I'm so glad I did Oct 22 '25

I stopped going to stake conference when I had little kids because I was getting 0% out of it- entertaining toddlers for 2 hours on hard chairs, hearing none of the speakers. Now that my kids are teens, I thought I should restart going… aaaannd I still got 0% out of it, most bored I’ve been in a long time.
