So good to see you BEAST!!! Everytime I listen to the Fixx I think of you! I LOVE the Fixx!

You nailed it. Exactly. He is the neo-BKP.

Fast and Testimony Mtg. was a poo parade of Oaks gushing. They all talked about how much the LOVED this talk and how they got the feels of the spirit and the like.

Glad I'm not in your ward. I would have had to rebut those comments, and THAT would have not been pretty for anyone concerned.

One sixteen year old YM, said something along these lines:

My favorite talk was by Elder Oaks, he really laid down the law and I like it when they do that, lay down the law for us. He also talked about where we get our information because there are a lot of places to get the wrong information...

I tried to sit out for hour 3 and ended up having a conversation with both the 1st and 2nd councilors in the BP. I suspect that I am now a project, I hope I am not just being paranoid. I say that because we have had either DW or I in youth interviews now for the past year or so, and I have sat through maybe one 3rd hour in the past 6 months, and we have turned down multiple speaking requests.

I'm not a doctor so I'm not going to stick a testimony thermometer up your butt, but those symptoms would suggest your testimony is sick.

It's highly contagious too.

He's either too stupid to realize this, or too self righteous to admit it. Either way, it doesn't seem that he cares. People who don't fit his mold are merely collateral damage.

I'd love the opportunity to look him in the eye while shaking his hand and say: "Hello Mr. Oaks, you have blood on your hands." And then simply walk away.

You really think so? Oaks will likely out-live Ballard, so that puts Holland next after Oaks. Will Holland be better?

Then Holland will likely outlive Eyring. It's likely that CrEyring won't get his day to in the Corporate Sole CEO throne. (Sniff...)

Next in line: The Silver Fox™! He's actually older than Holland, so I guess he'll be praying hard for Holland to die early if he wants to rule at all. I know there are many folks both inside and outside mormonism who would love to see Uchdorf in charge, and his track record looks decent (at least better than his buddies,) but the numbers are not in his favor.

And after that: Darth Bednar. He will likely reign with blood and horror for many years. If any improvement on social issues happens before Bednar takes over, he'll set things back hundreds of years.

Even bigger [SHUDDER]


If Holland is the biggest chance of improvement, I really don't have much hope. The track record for most of these old bigots is dismal.

I also hope I'm wrong...

It amazes me how closed minded he is. He must live in a very tiny world indeed.

Is this the same thing as getting felt up by the spirit?

I wish it was more contagious, I guess I am in "quarantine" though, so I shouldn't expect much.

Hey Stealth! Sorry it took me so long to see your comment. Glad you're around and kicking!
