Take a look at this apostle of Jeebus. No pulpit anymore? No microphone? Are we trying to have a more main stream evangelistic appearance. Seems so.

Also in his speech, he said to the YBU student that we don't fully know how the BOM was translated. Ah..but we do there Gary. We do know. Even we fully know. It's called a rock in a hat. Why Gary, I think you are to embarrassed to tell the students of this. Tee hee. Don't blame you. I would be too.

“Highlighting key moments of the ongoing Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ,”

I’m pretty sure they meant “Gaslighting”.

I’ve seen Mormonism described as perpetual Junior High, so this makes perfect sense. When in doubt, play stupid and hope nobody notices. Hey, it worked in Jr High.

“Ongoing restoration...”???
Christ’s ministry lasted 3yrs. The “restoration” has been “ongoing” for nearly 200yrs. How freakin hard can it be???

They’re restoring the restoration. “Ongoing restoration” is the latest buzzword invented by the Q15.

In this case, “ongoing restoration” means to keep slapping on a new coat of paint when the foundation is missing.

nothing was translated.

We fully know that Joseph Smith put on a little show consisting of putting a rock in a hat and pretending to see words in the rock when he stuffed his face into the hat.

We fully know that to normal people the rock-in-the-hat gimmick is clear evidence indicating that Joseph Smith was a ridiculous fraud preying on the gullibility of superstitious frontier folk and that he had used the same rock-in-the-hat gimmick as part of his previous treasure-hunting scam.

We fully know that the modern leaders of the church know how idiotic the real history comes across, so they dishonestly pretend that "it’s not fully known how the translation of the Book of Mormon was accomplished".

In other news, a Mormon apostle, having recently seen a stage magician's act, spoke to some members outside the theater and told them: "It's not fully known how the magician was able to saw his lovely assistant in half, without getting blood everywhere and it's not fully known exactly how he was able to put the two halves together again. But what we do know is what was done is an absolute miracle, even in today’s standard with modern tools. Imagine accomplishing the complete severing of a woman's body into two parts and then putting the two parts of her body back together again without the woman dying or even being permanently physically impaired...and imagine doing all of this in 15 minutes--less time than a 50-minute class at BYU. This is what Giuseppe the Magician did."

“Each and every day, miracles surrounding the Book of Mormon continue,” he said.

So he drops a soundbyte; doesn't elaborate or give examples, but continues with his talk.

So I will fill in.

He's thinking "It's a miracle that we are still finding fools to believe the fraud and pay tithing. What a marvelous scam!"

Here is what I know about this clown. Anything he says about Jesus would be a lie.

1. He runs/owns a sweat shop company built on cheap labor.
2. The company was built on literally "stealing" competitor's ideas shortly before national conventions held to display new models of the product. The company would quickly create a prototype of the stolen technology.
3. I attended a college student ward where he was the Bishop. He wore a pompous 3 piece double breasted suit every Sunday and his wife and children were dressed like they came out of a fashion magazine.

“...sweat shop company built on cheap labor.”

Kind of like the church? It looks like they picked the right guy.

No one ever sued over intellectual copyright theft? That would be rich.
