Attended ward in SLC area

[MikeWaters]

was there for fast Sunday.

I want to point out that there were many references to Joseph Smith during the testimony meeting. Which isn't something I typically hear in my own testimony meetings.

I wonder if there are regional differences in the amount of "air-time" Joseph Smith gets in the church.

In my singles branch there is a quite a bit of mentioning of JS whether it be in testimony meeting or bearing testimony after a lesson. Christ gets the most "air-time" and least of all Pres. Monson and the General Authorities.

a testimony is personal, so I suppose no one is "wrong" but the ones which impress me the most are the narratives which illustrate how a principle or belief arose and how it influenced the person relating the religious experience. In a very real sense, this is personal and a collective revelation.

You must have been to a ward with older people. He is being phased out all over. Just look at Temple Square.
