Imagine that...God's One-&-Only Prophet insulting God's very own missionaries on TV in front of millions of viewers...go figure that one out...of all the things that coulda been said at that particular moment...GBH came up with that comment???

If i had been a missionary sitting in that meeting i woulda been completely and absolutely devastated and deflated by "my" so-called Prophet's crude comment...and maybe had even ripped my nametag off and flung it at him!!!

> Steve Benson's cameo @ 4:27

> GBH insulting missionaris @ 5:30

I used to believe all that horse crap. I'm so proud of myself for having a sharp independent mind and setting myself free. GBH what a monster of a human being to spread around a horrible lie as if it was some sort of honorable religion.

Oh how I cringe watching this! GBH was sure a smart ass smug son of a bitch, wasn't he?

Hinckley didn't speak. He oozed.

Goes to show even GBH gave into his baser self for the news interview w/60 Minutes.

Instead of building up the missionaries, he had to build up his ego instead at the expense of theirs.

What a guy! (not)

There was nothing prophetic about his remarks, not even one scintilla.

Nothing visionary. Sure, we all make choices good or bad, for better or worse each and every day of our lives. That's what we do. It's called living. Being in a cult is a choice he made at some point. The fact it served him well enough to become the top dog - well maybe he can afford to make fun of the missionaries.

Who's gonna fire him? He has been granted impunity from mere mortals by his partners in crime.

He wasn't even a follower (of Godog or anyone important), much less a leader. Steve Benson had (has) a lot more class/ dignity/ calmness - and a much clearer and honest demeanor - than this hypocritical farce of a gentleman, Christian or whatever he (cheaply) pretends to be.

He wasn't a seer or he would have - even if acting like a starocker - not attempted, or allowed, his pride to get in the way and (at least pretended to) attempted lifting these troops, instead of forcing them down [on his cockeyed ego].

@3:07 they say they suffer less from stress. What a lie.

Hinckley was trying to be folksy, cute, funny and charming....emphasis on TRYING.

Being a self declared and self promoted self infatuated PR genius that can rattle off catch phrases/ drop names like "Jesus Smith" is the kind of thing that entitles a person to insult the missionaries
