Jeffrey Holland dead

[Hagoth]

He has gone on to that great taffy pulling machine in the sky.

I think there will be several funerals in the near future. Oaks seems very frail. About as frail as Nelson at the end of his life. Eyering has aged quite a bit lately. Maybe Uchtdorf will make it to the top soon.

It would be interesting to see Uchtdorf become president. We might see a little more openness, but he would need a consensus to make changes.

Hope he has his musket near by....

Kind of glad to see Holland gone. Does that seem mean?

The guy was a liar and a manipulater. At least he can do no more harm here.

Bednar and Anderson will be the thorns in Uchtdorf's side when the time comes.

Interesting to look at a list of the current leaders and see how few I know anything about anymore. There was a time when I could easily name each member of the 15 and call to mind what they look like and their speaking styles.

Unless I return to some semblance of activity within the next few years, that number might drop to zero.

In your defense, all the new guys are cut from the same mold, they're essentially the same person with a different name. Maybe with the exception of Kearon. That said, I had to google Kearon's name just now.

My point is that they're all lawyers or rich dudes that are both products of and slaves to correlation. Not much point in knowing who the new leaders are when they're all essentially the same dude anyway.

I wonder, if Uchtdorf makes it, how long he will last. I don't want to think that someone might help him go to the spirit world sooner than he otherwise would, but Benson suddenly went senile and incapable soon after he gave his talk on secret combinations (I understand the other top GAs hated his politics). There were one or two others who also suddenly (unexpectedly, in my mind) went downhill fast. If this happens to Uchtdorf, it will reinforce this suspicion in my mind (won't prove it; would need real evidence and/or witnesses for that).
