I don't remember references to Palm Sunday before. In the midst of the JS-fest, are they trying to move the church closer to traditional Christianity?
Not just mainstream Christianity but the Evangelicals. They've been trying to get a seat at that particular table in the middle school cafeteria for years. Too bad the evangelicals HATE us and always will.
Mormon cult is like a dysfunctional family that is always seeking to feel just like everyone else. But cult members don’t realize their in a box of their own - very different - in some good ways but some very dysfunctional ways.

The church is lead by the president who is lead by Christ? Really?

Then why does it screw up just like EVERY OTHER MAN MADE ORGANIZATION!?

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I always feel bad for the three Seventy guys in the middle of the last session. No one listens to them - including the TBM's I'm sitting with right now. They are either sleeping or playing with their phones.

Cook did not mention being an unprincipled legal shyster as apostolic preparation.
Is there anything to support this statement?

I knew him back when, and he was quite well respected, as far as I know.

That last talk was nice. Hard to hear over my husband's snoring, though.

Check with the public health system he sold off to private interests.

I believe this is the reference. The hospital deal was recorded in many places, so if you don't like this source, there are many others documenting what happened.

from wiki. "Cook's work in privatizing hospitals in California involved some controversy. As an attorney representing public hospital districts, he negotiated deals favorable to nonprofit healthcare corporations before leaving to become an executive with those corporations.[7][8] Critics claimed the deal quietly gave public revenues to private interests.[9][10][11] In a lawsuit to regain control of the hospital, the districts alleged this was a conflict of interest and violated their public mission,[6] but the court found that statute of limitations had expired.[10] The hospital became part of CHS, which later joined Sutter Health, both of which held Cook as a top executive.[6][8]"
