So General Conference is just an extended Sacrament Meeting. Where paid speakers get to tell real life stories (some of which aren't true), explain doctrines (some of which aren't official), and bear testimony about Christ living (even though they haven't seen Him).

Nothing new there. Just the regurgitation of themes common for the last forever.

Try again.

I prophesy in the name of Odin that within 10 years, there will be another war in the middle east. Also, I prophesy that healthy eating habits and exercise will help most people to have increased health.

Healthy eating habits don't promote good health? Is that your position? We shall see then who is the false prophet and who is the true prophet. :cool:
