So he just decided to go up to Idaho for the weekend, huh! That's a bunch of crap! It took weeks to get this set up. There is no way a meeting like this could be held on a multi-stake level without some planning ahead of time.

That's one of the traits of fraud... Even small things that make no difference to the con are lies.

These men and the press office that works for them lie about everything. Even things that make no difference.

There was a carefully rehearsed and scripted coordination between remarks by Oaks and Turley. No way in hell was this a casual weekend trip. It was a damage control trip.

They were probably upset to have it recorded, but the only way to prevent that would be to ban smartphones from the room. Good luck with that.

My only question is was this a trial balloon, or a one-off event. I'm hoping there will be lots of rescue missions. I love the smell of panic at the COB.

It's not a one-off since they had one of these before (that also got recorded).

I think it's just a supply and demand thing. If the church leaders here of an area where this is a problem they'll go there, so maybe it'll become more common in the future.

The first one allowed questions from the audience though, whilst by my understanding this one didn't. The leaders are aware that they're going to be put on the Internet, and even this time without any difficult questions from the audience there's been some back-lash, so I think they'll be even stricter if they do this a third time. They might try and make sure only real TBMs attend, or try and ban any recording devices (which I don't think would go down well...).

Lol: "But the church insists that's not the case, and that Oaks simply saw the opportunity to visit Boise to teach important doctrines of the church."

Seriously. The man "saw an opportunity to visit Bouse to teach important doctrines of the church"?

Not really working for a living, doesn't he have that opportunity EVERY DAY?

The pharisees work hard everyday at deluding the members of the cult. Wouldn't want a schism to hurt the cults bottom line.

Spot on cpete

When they are scared, it's fear of lost cashish.

What was Boise rescued from exactly? My bro in law lives there but he is strict Catholic so he didn't mention anything.

Heh, if you read the transcript or listen to it, Oaksy flat out tells the crowd that he and Truly spent weeks preparing. So another lie.

I have come to agree with those who think that the "rescue" is an attempt to do damage control for the Denver Snuffer crowd.

This may seem like a strange question, but it's a sincere one that popped into my head at the clear cut lie.

Do you think that they are even AWARE that they lie? That they get so caught up into their PR moves that they simply don't see the dishonesty?
