Did Packer make the changes to his GC talk on his own—

or was he required to do so. Certainly it wouldn't be the first time (see '1984 censorship Conference Ronald Poelman' for more info).

I have no faith in the PR BS that the LDS machine spews but here's what they say.

According to LDS Spokesman Scott Trotter, Packer changed his words in what is normally a routine practice. He said that “President Packer has simply clarified his intent.”

Stage managing a grizzly bear?????

Packer's intent was perfectly clear.

Packer is getting his licks in while he still can. They must have voted to override him and change it a little. After all, wouldn't want to embarrass Mitt or Harry while they are running for office.

I believe the talk was written as it is currently presented, and ol' Boyd got a little

carried away when he delivered it. His true meaning was the spoken word. But whoever runs things wanted the talk to retain ambiguity between gays or just regular old sinful acts. You can't spend millions of dollars on Prop 8 and turn around and claim the talk wasn't against gays. His message and intent came through the ambiguity loudly and clearly.
