I admit it; I'm a Prophet stalker. Yes, I religiously, and zealously, follow prophet paparazzi to find out where Mormon prophets can be seen -- and most importantly heard. Multiple times, pretty much everyday, I check LDS websites to find out where they're going, where they've been and what they've said. Some of my best sources are LDS.org, the LDS Newsroom and LDS Church News. 



I know -- it's a sickness. I have other ways, too, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to give those up. 

I actually hang on, believing, their every words -- looking to find every morsel of prophetic counsel to; help me be a better person; know what God wants us to do in these challenging times; and I even go so far as transcribing parts of their broadcasts' and/or speaking engagements to share with my also addicted friends, here on WBMW. (Yeah, I know who you are.) And I know that's got to be illegal!

I keep waiting for the Mormon police, or a prophet themselves, to contact me personally, and politely ask me to take down those posts -- quietly. And I would do it, too!!! But so far that hasn't happened. Perhaps they're not onto me, yet?

I know that some of you, perhaps, already suspected that I have a thing for following the prophet.  Your first indication may have been the various LDS widgets that I share on my sidebar. 

Now that I’ve decided to come clean, I realize that this has all be so obvious. Some have gone so far as to call me a TBM -- that's code for "True Blue Mormon".  Guess what?  I like it when they do that! Doesn't bother me a bit. Actually, I find it kind of flattering. Is that wrong?

I know this all sounds pretty crazy, but I have a legitimate motive for deciding to be honest about my Mormon prophet addiction. Like any addiction, it requires 'enablers', and I need more of them. I want you to be just as addicted to listening to prophets as I am -- insomuch that you’ll help me get the word out, over these next few weeks, about the October 2012 General Conference ofThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – a prophet addict's Shangri-La. 

Two days of complete and utter spiritual reverie!

I’ve made all my plans to fly up to General Conference and stay a few blocks from the Conference Center. I’ll be spending the entire GC weekend sharing Mormon prophet quotes on Twitter, Google +, etc… And following up each session with a few highlights that I'll share here on WBMW. 

To help get the word out, you can start by sharing this great General Conference invitation video with friends and family. With so much interest in Mormonism, because of the upcoming election, this is an excellent time for anyone interested in learning more about what Mormons believe -- to find out. 

So, don't let anyone accuse you of keeping General Conference a secret -- share it!

Satan does not have to work a large area of our lives to distract us from our desired destination. With that in mind, it has become even more important for me, personally, and I suspect all of us, to know, without a doubt, exactly where we are going and how we intend to arrive. In this way, even when our immediate view becomes temporarily clouded, without question or interruption, we can continue to press forward – without fear.
