Church is true...the book is blue! :D
The advice seems pretty obvious and basic to me. Pay your tithing, avoid pornography, follow your church leaders, read your scriptures; it was like a greatest hits of conferences past. Nothing new.

That may be true, but there is a reason they keep saying the same things. Perhaps it is because many are not doing the things they are talking about. If we want to hear new things, follow the counsel they give.
Yes...I have heard talks on journal/record keeping before...but, today my heart, mind, and heart are different than before...and today I am motivated.
Thanks for the greatest hits!
Conference was not the same old thing, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to raise our hand and sustain our beloved prophet and the brethren. We had the opportunity to be instructed by those who are assigned to teach us the truth that we need at this very moment. If we listen and do, we will find that our lives will be richly blessed.
Brain, consider what you said between the lines is that one reason you "won't join the LDS Church" is because others do not act like you think they should. Perhaps you should base such a significant decision on facts such as the truth of the Book of Mormon, Joseph seeing God the Father and Jesus Christ, and the restoration of the Priesthood instead of mere actions of others - especially when perceived incorrectly. Respect for men of God does not constitute worship, I think there are many who would like to be more like them, and more importantly like our Lord and Savior.
I invite you Brian to know more about the Church so that you can understand how we feel.

Kudos to those of you who love and admire our leaders. President Hinkley brings pride to my heart that we are led in such a glorious way.
President Eyring will continue the leadership to make me feel loved and cared for while on this earth.
I am sorry you miss this happiness Brian.
Not only are we united peoples in our joy of the teachings of Our Savior Jesus Christ; but we are a happy, and fun loving people, such as President Hinckley did show by his fine example of humour, during this wonderful opportunity of enjoying our world-wide semi annual conference.
I am so thamkful that these proceeding are covered by the media, and that we may view and review them as often as we are able.
These wonderful examples of living Prophets, Seers and Revelators are my modern day heros. Their examples help me live a better and more ful-filling life, including the serious and humorous sides, that make me (and all of us) a better person.

I was smiling while reading everybody's comments
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm sure it will be aired at church on Sunday.
I know that the scriptures are true and that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us so much and we are blessed to be on earth today.
Brian, respect and sustaining of the leaders are different from idolatry.
Hopefully your heart will be softened and you'll be enlightened.
God Bless!

BTW, you get OUT of Conference, or Sacrament or ANY church meeting what you put INTO it!
I too was spiritually uplifted from this conference, more than any others. But when I saw the image and the story of Pres. Hinckley 'knighting' Elder Eyring, it was like the 'icing on the cake'. How fortunate we are to have a leader that is sincere, loving, kind, being an example of the kind of man I should be. How blessed we are to have a man who showed by example how to love our spouse, raise a family, serve his fellow man, to love the Lord and to follow Christ's example.
Our worship is directed to our Heavenly Father and his Son ,Jesus Christ. We have no worship of Church leaders, local or General Authorities. Rather there is love and respect of these men and women, for all the long hours of service, selflessness, sacrifice love, support, encouragement that they give to us.
God has indeed blessed us to have such men as these to be our leaders, and the newly 'knighted' Elder Eyring and Elder Cooke not the least among them.
