Hey guess what? With the LDS General Conference coming up in a few weeks, you'll definitely want one of these babies to keep your kids paying attention. My friend Genny is the ORIGINAL author of the VERY BEST Conference Packet around. She has worked extremely hard on it, and it shows. My kids love them and look forward to them every year. They work! Go here to get yours - free free free and print it yourself:

NOW HERE'S THE SIDE STORY:
(If you do not enjoy my ramblings, or do not care about kids' Conference Packets, then stop reading here. If you are into high drama, Melrose-place style, then keep reading!!!)
I had to spell that out above instead of giving you a direct link because Genny's having some problems with internet theivery. The LOVELY people (and by lovely I mean evil) at ldsresources(dot)net have stolen her Conference Packet and claimed it as their own. When she very gently and kindly asked them to simply give her credit - even offered to help them correct some errors she knew were in that version - they have ignored her requests and blocked her access to their site. If you go and leave a comment on their post about the Conference Packet and even slightly refer to this error in authorship, they will delete, or modify your comment so that it ONLY looks positive. Then they will promptly block YOU from their site. All in attempts to cover up their dishonesty. OH. MY. GOSH.
It gets better.
Tonight I was on Genny's blog (which is private by the way) and she was asking for help to encourage these people to give credit where credit is due. She gave a link where we could go right to their site and leave them the above-mentioned comment. Well I click on it and it takes me to some HARD CORE PORN. The link was not Genny's doing, and not a typo. Someone has screwed with her links to re-route them to the pornographic site. One can only imagine that it was the lovely/evil people trying to be spiteful towards my friend. Now how nasty is that??? And she was never rude or nasty to THEM in the first place to deserve such backlash.
So... as I go wash my eyes out with soap tonight, I will urge you to do this: spread the news of the wonderful Conference Packet from it's true source

Go and use it, enjoy it, share it. That's what it was created for. And don't ever give your business (or your readership) to the people at ldsresources(dot)net again. Obviously their standards are FAR from what our religion truly strives towards.

What a joke! Awesome I tell you.
That's terrible! Thanks for giving the best site to use!
OUCH! I'm so sorry you had to see what you saw! Unbelievable to what lengths some people will go to cover up their dishonesty. Thanks for pointing us away from such a site and towards great place to go to instead. : )
That is unbelievable!!! Who would do such a thing?
Ho-ly cow. What in the heck is wrong with those people?
That's crooked!
But I do have to wonder how she is so certain that she truly is the ORIGINAL author of these packets? There are so many that go around every 6 months now.
I hadn't heard the second half of the story. Yikes! It makes me sad that this is all surrounding GENERAL CONFERENCE. Hello people!!
Isn't there something we can do? We need to send this story to all our friends!!
I just tried to go to lds resources . net and it said my access was not permitted. I have never clicked on anything on Genny's blog before, so they wouldn't know to block me. Is she sure they are purposely blocking her? Cause I can't get there either. Maybe their site is screwed up. If they really are purposely being jerks that's too bad cause I was planning on writing them a mean letter. :)
