Even then, I've never thought about it.

I don't care what the topic was about, but I would make sure I included references to all or some of the following: Top Gun, Footloose, Point Break and the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video. I think the formality and uniformity of many of the GC talks needs to be shaken up a bit.

Mine would be aobut hte Word of Wisdom. I would tell people to stop being so damned fat and that we don't need refreshments at every single activity. tie it into moderation in all things.

Not at all. I just don't think about things like that.

The rise of secret combinations amongst "active," card-carrying members of the church. The prophesy of wolves in sheep's clothing in the latter days. Much of the book of Helaman. Hypocricy.

Yet at the same time the importance to remember the instruction to be of good cheer.

I would have to be honest and tell the Church that 95% of them annoy the hell out of me.

"Why make living in the church harder than it really needs to be?"
