He looks horrible now, and worse every year. It's fascinating to find an old picture of him and realize that he was once vigorous and free of guilt. Playing apostle for 25 years or so has exacted a terrible price from him, both spiritually and physically.
In his beginning remarks he says, "You separate dating from discipleship at your peril".
He sure enjoys putting fear into people in his talks, even these young people. I think that he is one of the most arrogant a**es that walks the earth. The adoration of people who think he is the end-all-be-all in the speaking department of the Church-cult, which by the way, does not make that mark very high, is sickening in my book.
Dodo Holland, the Andy Landers of the Morg. Have a problem. Man, he will answer you, and his main message, I guarantee will be, young man or young woman, get on your knees right now and pray to me, oh, I mean the Lard, and ask forgiveness for your sins and then send in that back tithing. All will be well at this point.
I attended BYU when Jeffery Holland was in charge. We broke every rule in the book and never got in trouble. Everyone in my apartment complex viewed the rules and even church standards pretty loosely. We were young. We were away from home. From what I hear now BYU is more of a sterile atmosphere with more of a gestapo running it. All I can say is I broke the rules. I had fun doing so. Jeffery Holland didn't know because he was busy doing something else than micromanaging us students.
This is a VERY important post, and thank you so much for bringing it to our attention! It goes to the heart of what is SO DAMAGING about this evil organization.
If the article were really about relationships you would have to conclude that this man is certifiably insane. His points are palpably absurd.
But the truth is HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FIND REAL LOVE.
All he wants is to keep people invested in the cult he heads, and he knows that the true love of another person can close a hole in someone's heart that LDS absurdity could keep open.
His list should have been: "How to avoid letting anyone come between you and Big Brother."
