I'm relieved for him and his family. Dementia is a terrible, terrible, way to go out.

On the other hand, Russell Nelson and his wife are zealots. I think we've already seen their influence over the last two years, and TSM's passing won't make this ride any less bumpy.

Yep. He's a hardliner along with the other hard liners at the top now. He's got the reins now, I don't expect my life to get any easier.

I'm betting President Uchtdorf won't be in the new 1st presidency. Not because he is considered soft, liberal, or progressive - don't kid yourself, he is none of those things - but because he is popular and charismatic, and I am betting the other Brethren are jealous and feel threatened by that, since he has more charisma than all of them put together.

Amen Brother Oliver!!

Last four RMN conference addresses:

The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?

Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives

Joy and Spiritual Survival

The Price of Priesthood Power

Does anyone have any information about RMN's health and vigor?

Don't be surprised if the new first presidency contains Oaks and Bednar

Agreed. I may detest the Corporation that he owned, and many of the things that Corporation does, but I honestly don't wish Dementia on anyone. Condolences to his loved ones who've had to deal with it.

Oh man! This gives me a huge SHUDDER!

Though I also say: Bring it on. Maybe those three over-zealous bigots together could run the entire thing right into the ground...

Right?^^ That could be fun/horrifying to watch.

Or...

RMN might want more pliable henchmen. A few conferences ago Christopherson showed he would promote RMNs long held belief that God's love is conditional https://www.lds.org/general-conference/ ... e?lang=eng

and Anderson spent his entire last conference talk kissing RMN's a$$ https://www.lds.org/general-conference/ ... d?lang=eng

We will find out in about four months.

OMGs we are also going to get a new member of the 12. We will have to do a special pre-NOMfrence game where we guess who will get what calling.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think they'll go ahead and reform the First Presidency in a week or two. The two new apostles will wait until April though.

So here we go. Trump as president and RMN as PSR. What could possibly go wrong?

I think you are right. Does anyone remember what happened last time?

We're probably going to get two.
