Watch carefully at 05 and 06

Snatch that old man down!

The whooping and hollering is kind of undignified. Mormons are so weird.


As to the rapid falling into the chair, maybe he can't bend down very easily and so falling is easier? I don't know.

Looks like his knees and his back aren't very flexible -- maybe joint trouble or arthritis?

To me it looked like he simply fell back. He looks a bit startled there and maybe he was waving to signal he was ok? Or maybe he thought it was swing the Hosanna hanky time?

The screaming was pretty weird. It sounded and looked like a televangelist kind of thing.

Mormons don't cheer when he walks into GC, but on the other hand, when the Pope walks in for his weekly audience, the crowd cheers.

To me it looked like Monson just sat down without even looking to see where the chair was and his handler quickly scooted it under him so he wouldn't fall on his ass.

Oh, wouldn't that be something if he did. LOL

It's no wonder Mormons are fleeing like rats paddling away from the fictionally unsinkable Titanic. Just when you need a dignified, sit and wave Tommy, the props dept. gives you a pratfall Tommy, wobblier than Jerry Lewis. "Look how I fling my hands at you. I'm a freak!"

Thank God the crowd was prozac addled and drunk with Mountain Dew.

He is nothing more than a traveling mascot at this point.

If the handler didn't push him into a chair, he would have started waving his arms like that while standing up, and would have looked like the local Butterfly Control warden.

Tommy not wearing the white and delightsome duds? WTF?

It's earlier in the day on the temple grounds. He changed into street clothing for the evening celebrations.

Imagine what his life must be like being dressed up and paraded out like that. It must be like being in the English royal family with a schedule of ribbon-cuttings and flashbulbs going off and screaming day after day after day.

It looks exhausting. A person that old should be able to have classical music and peace.

Maybe if they give too much trouble they give them a chemical lobotomy.

Agree.

Quiet reverence would suit a person that age & supposed value to others would give him Much More dignity.


Oh, but that would ruin 'the aura'

He wasn't shoved. Look again. He sort of "fell" into his chair. He just sort of drops there and he was being "spotted" since he was doing it without focus.

The whole cheesy rock start grin creeps me out tho!
