Isn't that mental masturbation?

I think of it more like a one-human centipede.

So... President Oaks is da man! This is like golf, right? Lowest score wins?

BTW, the Church appointed its first black American General Authority.

From the stuff I read about him on FB, (mostly from post mos) he's a good guy. He taught at BYU and BYU-H and his former students, even though they have left the church, have noting but good things to say about him.

So by the church's timeline, if we ordained women right this very minute, we would expect to see the first female Seventy around the year 2060.

I suspect that if this change was made, it would be made quietly. For example, converts would be allowed to be baptized while still drinking coffee and tea, then it might slip off the temple recommend questions somehow (perhaps bishops and stake presidents would be told not to withhold recommends for drinking them).

It has to be craftily changed, I think, to avoid mass shock among the typical true believer.

Yeah, because those secret policy changes in the handbook go so smoothly...

Wow that is sad.

So Eyring threatened members with "sorrow to you and to those you love and even losses beyond your power to imagine" if you don't keep some unnamed promise automatically made while sustaining "servants" of God?

It's on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comme ... ke_sure_i/

It might even be quietly put into the Bishops Handbook and not revealed until Mormon Leaks got ahold of it. Later, one of the Brethren would reveal that it was part of President Nelson's late-night revelations when he would send Wendy from the bedroom for better revelatory reception.

Sounds like their m.o. alright, Moksha.
