More from the mormon general conference...

The main theme seems to be Satan's influence on the world. Oddly, there is no mention of Satan's influence on the mormon church....

This quote was rich:

"Julie B. Beck discussed the importance of women, with or without children, developing a "mother heart."

Female roles "did not begin on earth and they do not end here," Beck said. Some good women with "mother hearts" will not have children, but they are "investing in a grand, prestigious future" in heaven.

Of course she does not mention that the grand future in heaven requires a faithful husband or being reassigned to one in a celestial polygamous relationship. The grand, prestigious future of eternally propagating spirit children.

I also liked Boyd Packer's statement: "Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles said families need "inoculation" against today's "moral and spiritual diseases." The safest place and the best protection against these diseases is a "stable home and family," Packer said. "

Focus on the worldly. Temple ceremonies, food storage, the world, the world, the world. I guess given my viewpoint, it makes sense because those who follow mormonism will follow it out of this world and not into heaven.
