Morbid thought: How many of the Q15 who are "under" him in the hierarchy end up licking their chops when something like this happens, pining for the chance to move one seat closer to the coveted CEO position?
I already answered this on another thread.

Re: Bendar Feels Attacked

Now that I think about it... This is probably just Bednar's evil plan to get all the older Q15 members above him in the hierarchy to go to more meetings so all the old coots will get COVID and die, and then Bednar get's his CEO of LD$-Inc. dream-job sooner. Considering this is directly contradictor...

Re: Bendar Feels Attacked

Having now watched Bednars actual talk, my interpretation has softened just a bit. I do think he paints a false picture of a government willing to rip away religious freedom as soon as we aren't paying attention. He builds that narrative by citing the ban on group gatherings (which happened to incl...

Elder Holland

This is not a gathering, nor an event, but it is an announcement. I honestly had no idea where to put this.

Re: What To Do About The Police

I am surprised that these kinds of conversations never mention that the police in the UK are able to maintain law and order without the use of firearms. Most of them are armed only with batons and pepper spray. Of course, that requires them to stay fit enough to chase down a suspect, and socially s...

Re: What To Do About The Police

I think the police are a necessary public service that we cannot do without. That said we must prevent the police from getting away with murder. The police have somehow gotten out of control. Maybe this is due to bad training or bad hiring. Perhaps it is due to a willful blind eye being cast, by th...

Re: Thoughts on Romney and his March?

In other news, I wish I could go back to John Taylor's time and organize an All Wives Matter protest in front of his mansion. All of his wives mattered, but some much more than others. Do you remember last year when conservatives were pressing the slogan, Blue Lives Matter? Perhaps later this year ...

Re: What To Do About The Police

I don’t think the police should be defunded. I think the police should be de-militarized or at at least scoped down to special tactical units to exist for special circumstances. I think most city departments run this way but have the weapons to pull out when needed. With a lot of things lately I th...

Re: What To Do About The Police

Some very interesting comments and experiences. Thank you for sharing them. As for what can be discussed on NOM, it was my impression that anything goes, whereas NOM 1.0 had more guidelines. I forgot about the coffee shop. I've been away so long that the coffee shop didn't come to mind as a place to...

What To Do About The Police

Clearly something needs to change. Defund and Dismantle? Weed out the bad apples and train the remaining to do and be better? I haven't experienced the brutality the Black community has faced, but I've had some experiences with police and know of others that have been less than positive. For instanc...

Re: Another Abuse Lawsuit

If the local leaders knew he was a predator then they needed to tell the parents of the children. I think the neighborhood ward model needs to be abolished and people go to the ward that is best suited for them. In this particular case, I believe this man should go to ward with other abusers and the...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?

Um, can I make a statement here? As someone who went to pick up a kid in Utah in March to bring her home, I saw firsthand how little care Utahns were taking during the pandemic. Now, granted, it was at the beginning when nobody was sure how dangerous this would be, but I was pretty happy to bring m...

Re: What are you doing to protect your family against the virus?

I'll see if I can find it, but about a month ago, I read an article that said the economy would have been harder hit had there been no lock down. Coronavirus would have torn through the entire workforce and people would be too sick to work and the economy would have really been mired. In Hong Kong ...
