PDF of May 2019 Ensign Now Available/Report on How My Predictions for the Table of Contents Turned Out

Hello again, everyone! Late yesterday night, I found out that the PDF version of the May 2019 Ensign is now available to download online. Just one week ago, I had published on this blog a projection for what the table of contents might look like for this General Conference edition of the Ensign. Now that the official PDF version is available for online reading, I wanted to post again to share the results in terms of how the table of contents I put together compares with the actual magazine.

In an unusual move, it appears that the May 2019 Ensign only has 128 pages, whereas in recent years, at least the May edition has consisted of 144 pages. Also, not surprisingly, the picture inside the front cover is that group picture of the entire First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles which was taken while they were in Rome Italy for the dedication of the temple in that city. Other than these notes, all that remains is to share my estimates for that table of contents again, with the corrected page numbers in parentheses. That information follows below. In order to not disturb the flow of that information, I will end here and now as I always do: 

That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly-added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post (which should be the two-part apostolic statistical update that will be published here later today), I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
