Some of the GAs let the position go to their heads more than others, but just for fun let’s see who tops the list. Sure it’s a dumb contest, but so are cockroach races.

My vote for most arrogant is Bednar, Oaks and Holland. What’s yours?

I'd put Ballard ahead of Holland. Definitely agree with selection of Oaks and Bednar.

I have to agree with the poster who said God, Jesus and Holy Ghost. They're pretty arrogant.

I put Holland at the top of the list he gets the most flustered and angry when challenged. Then I'd put Oaks as he's just too cool. He and Bednar are in a race as the smug is strong with these two.

Actually, Holland is a lightweight when it comes to smugness so I'm rethinking my order.

That would be my list. Though I’d include Nephi from the past. :D

I’d say Holland is a half Nelson. Nelson shows no hint of being conflicted about the BS he spouts.

If there was a Prick Race between Bednar and Jeffrey the Jowels, it would result in a dead tie. And while these two are trying to outprick each other, Dallin would be a close second.

Packer would have been my first pick, but he is presently taking a nap.

Interesting in that picture above that everyone is smiling, or trying to, EXCEPT Bendar... He is looking like he is trying to take a hard shit. That picture says a lot about him. Sickening

The thing that cracks me up about that photo is that I’m sure Bednar is not smiling because he is not one of the ones in a chair. He sees pissed because he is in the lower tier of that club at the tome of the photo. In the next photo shoot, he will be seated and smiling. Then when he is about 3 or 4 away, he will go back to the sour look on his face as he will be anxious for Holland to die off.

Bednar is the last aposthole I saw called at GC. It is truely a wonder feeling, yea a tender mercy of the Something to not have any memories of half of that group as having anything over me. I cannot wait until I cannot recognize any of the leadership of that organization. That will truely be a glorious day.

Oaks is The Godfather of Arrogance, Bednar and Holland—wannabes.

Bendar, Ballard, Holland, and for fakeness goes to Crying Erying.
I really believe if people could come forward the dirt on Bendar and how he treats people/family would be very ugly.

The pathological liar Paul H. Dunn comes to mind.

Aren't they each over the top arrogant ?

Arrogance is something I find hard to measure other than it's easy to spot when it exists.

Boy, that is tough one! Aren't all GAs arrogant pricks?

I have only met one in person, and that was Oaks. Back then I was an ignorant TBM thinking all GAs were gods. After I met Oaks, I remember thinking he was really pompous and just not a nice person. At the time I tried to rationalize my bad thoughts of the anointed and told myself he must have been tired from doing the Lord's work. Now I realize he was just being himself.

One of the most amazing things about being the top leaders of the true Church is how when you have God totally watching your back that it leaves no room or need for the slightest bit of arrogance. Thus I assume that all the Brethren are well-tied for last on arrogance :)

Bednar. Oaks. Holland. Although any order you put them in seems to be appropriate. Three-way tie?

And a big shout out posthumously to that prick of pricks, BKP.

"It’s wrong to criticize leaders of the Church, even if the criticism is true." Dallin Oaks


If we are talking arrogance, I guess that statement the Dallin makes him the clear winner and puts him on equal footing with Kim Jong Un and his current nemesis.

Bednar is at the top hands down, seen that guy live and he thinks he is god's gift to the world and endulges in his mormon superstardom with everything in him and he probably kisses the mirror at least figuratively. That dude really thinks he is the sh#t, but the mormons pump him up big time so he really believes the hype, it's kind of sad to witness honestly. I would say uchtdorf and oaks are second and third. I see right through uchtdorf with his foreigner good guy act.

Bednar.

He's done the math. He knows he's destined to be sitting on the Corporate Sole Throne within 10 years.

Knowing your destined to be prophet seer and revelator has got to pump your prick meter off the scale.

Expanding it to GAs in my lifetime....McConkie would take the cake by a wide margin. Packer would be there and I'd still include Bednar.

Yeah, mustn't forget McConkie. Arrogant enough to think that his opinions automatically constituted Mormon doctrine.

Bednar, Bednar, and Bednar. The others have an inkling they will someday die. Bednar expects to be translated. And if God doesn't do the job, he'll do it for himself.

I think every word carries a financial liability, so they are told to basically say nothing. They do that very well.
