As our church has grown to exceed 15 million members worldwide, every person still matters. Each conference, we are given the opportunity to raise our arm to the square and stand in solidarity with God as He ushers His work forward.”

I agree, it is a privilege to have my opinion counted as important. It’s also very easy when your opinion is the only acceptable opinion to have. Elder Nelson overstated the case when he said that we do not “vote” on Church leaders at any level. That’s doctrinally and historically inaccurate (you can read a little bit about that here: http://www.whatsoeverisgood.com/the-right-to-oppose/).
