Oaks

Condemned mob interference in constitutional processes.

Emphasize rule of law and PEACEFUL civic processes.

Reemphasized political neutrality, and no political test for faithful members.

Endorsed separation of powers and no individual rule.

I dislike DHO for many different reasons, but this was a more direct and ballsy attack on extremists than I thought the brethren had in them.

+100 for what he said
-60 for not saying it 3 years ago when the attacks on rule of law should have been obvious.

Minus 10 for having Oaks baggage as a backdrop to dilute the message.

-10 for being Rasband. I know its petty, but he's the one I have the least patience for.

Just say, "my wife and I" or "my wife Jane and I." It gets tedious to hear these guys talk of their wives as Sister My Last Name.

That was a miracle? Maybe for mormons.

But I think those Catholics are a little more hard nosed.

Give him a break, he might now know her name. You think Joseph Smith or Brigham Young or Heavenly Father knows all of their wives' names?

I noticed RMN will refer to wife #2 as Wendy, which may to distinguish her from #1.

Less impressive when you realize that they were almost certainly warned that the lights were about to go out. Guides don't spring that on you.

-5 for "covenant path"

I originally said -20, but that was too harsh.

+5 for otherwise positivity.

An okay positive message mixed with magical beings and religious jargon. No points.

I think the best partner in that story in the horse.

Any old cowboy would tell you to give the horse his head. The horse knows the way home.

-20 for stretching stories into miracles.

Sorry Dyches, sounds like that story took on a 'faith promoting' note. Having been in blizzard like conditions many times, going back the next morning to follow your tracks is impossible, they're gone within minutes..

Oh jeeze, this time the choir is just "singing," they're not "favoring us." Why the downgrade? Don't we deserve the best?
