General Conference Predictions

[The Nehor]

Consubstantiation accepted as doctrine

Tithing lowered by 1% for parents per child in your family to a minimum of 4%.

At least one talk referencing or focused on the church’s humanitarian aid operations.

Adoption of “The Living Christ” as OD-3

After a multi-decade review the Church announces their decision not to issue segways to missionaries as an alternative method of transportation.

One talk on how to use Solomonic rituals to bind demons to one’s service.

Prophet declares that Cain is not, in fact, being misidentified as Bigfoot.

[Pyreaux]

They are going explain the reason they bought the Kirtland Temple, what it is, and what they will do with it.

Oh, the new hymnals... And the JST Bible to be added to the Pearl of Great Price.

I hope there's something unpredictable. 

[ZealouslyStriving]

The Assumption (Translation) of Mary is confirmed and added as a holy day.

[MustardSeed]

An amendment to the youth/seminary program, or an added opportunity for youth to participate. 

Someone will definitely remind women to keep their piece, stop pushing for Heavenly Mother to be integrated.  
 

a new hymn from the new compilation will be sung by the choir 

two or more of the 12 will be not in attendance

August 15th!

This dogma is a great example of continuing revelation in the Catholic Church, by the way.

Do you have a “designated survivor”? What would happen if all of the apostles were killed?

I *think* the Presiding Bishop would take over. But he's French so....

This is the one I should've responded to ...oops

I don't know why we Latter-day Saints, being as talkative as we are about translated beings, would be credulous about the tradition of the Assumption of Mary (you know: the mother of the Son of God, the virgin deemed by God worthy enough to carry His Son)- even if we might not understand it in the EXACT same way.

My understanding is that one of the apostles always sits out conference. I don’t recall how they’re chosen. 
President Nelso made a statement the other day, in light of the fact that he is approaching his 100th birthday, that due to the advancing ages of the participants, some speakers may give their talks from a seated position, or make a prerecorded talk. So, it seems that more than the “designated survivor” will be absent from the conference.

I'm sure there are going to be some disappointed attendees today.

[Teancum]

A number of new temples.

A lot of talks similar to previous years.

Something highlighting what humanitarian aid the church has given.

The annual report from the audit committee. 

Maybe three women will speak.

Depends on who you ask.

Most likely the Quorum of the Seventy would take over and select a new apostle who would be President of the Twelve and that new president would select new apostles who would then probably decide to recreate the First Presidency and fill out their numbers.

On the other hand it has been said that the keys to run the Church are held in trust by each of the apostles and not the seventy. If the keys are gone you need an angelic visit by resurrected beings. So Peter, James, and John if you want the traditional approach or Joseph Smith or one of his successors.

It has never happened before. It hinges on how some verses in the D&C are interpreted.

So Cain, How long can you tread water?

Yay 15 temples announced!

By per capita GDP:

Uturoa, French Polynesia	20000
Chihuahua, Mexico	10000
Florianópolis, Brazil	9000
Rosario, Argentina	10000
Edinburgh, Scotland	45000
Brisbane Australia South Area	55000
Victoria, British Columbia	50000
Yuma, Arizona	63540
Houston Texas South Area	63540
Des Moines, Iowa	63540
Cincinnati, Ohio	63540
Honolulu, Hawaii	63540
West Jordan, Utah	63540
Lehi, Utah	63540
Maracaibo, Venezuela	2400

4, maybe 5 of those 15 announced temples happening in countries where the tithe-paying local members couldn't have possibly hoped to fund their own temple.  Yay tithing!  Yay church reserves!  Holy crap is Venezuela poor. That's the place with historic hyperinflation and a never-seeming end of economic woes?  Glad to see the church willing to invest.

 I was surprised that Lehi is getting one since they already have Mt. Timpanogas and them the new Orem temple right there too.

[OGHoosier]

Scotland finally gets a temple! May the memes rest in peace.

[MustardSeed]

I would like a rubber cookie for 2 of my 4 predictions being home runs 🤩🤩🤩

Payson is packed much of the time from what I hear, so my family was hoping one for Spanish Fork, lol.  They will be annoyed the north valley got yet another one.

I saw someone else on facebook really pulling for a Spanish Fork temple. It does seem like the perfect place for another one.

[Peacefully]

Once all temples are built, we will have nine in Texas. I think Dallas was the only one when I became a member.

Preferably within walking distance of my son’s house or better yet mine (have it in Mapleton instead)

Spanish Fork already has a Hari Krishna temple. The church donatedd $40,000 to it back in the day.

I have a friend who goes there often and I always thought it looked really cool.
