Conference quotation stats

[lostinmiddlemormonism]

So having watched all sessions of conference...I know...I'm a masochist, I found some interesting data with regards to who is important enough to quote. Please note that these are by my count, so it could be a bit off.

I only counted direct quotes, not references made to individuals or attributions.

Jesus Christ was quoted 19 times in general conference. He was clearly referred to much more frequently, but his actual words and direct quotes were only used 19 times. Sister Eubanks had 8 of those or 42% of the whole. Without her, He would have only been quoted 11 times.

President Nelson was quoted 27 times; 8 instances more than the Savior. Interestingly this is 42% more times than Jesus. Without Sister Eubanks talk he would have been quoted 2.5 times more than Jesus!

Other current and recent general authorities were quoted 32 times, 13 instances, or 68% more times than Jesus. Without Sister Eubanks talk they would have been quoted almost 3 times more than Jesus!

I guess we know who we are really supposed to listen to heh?

That really sums up Mormonism doesn’t it?

Thanks for doing this. I don't think it's any coincidence that Sister Eubanks has the highest score from NOMfrence too.

For a church that is so f--king obsessed with 'Jesus' being in their name, they don't seem to want him in their teachings. It's sad really.

The Pharisees weren't too keen on Jesus' teachings either, but they weren't dependent on him for branding. What a dilemma.
