I'm afraid that as accurate as this commentary is, as manipulative as exampled by Bednar many Mormon leaders are (people tend to establish patterns by emulating leaders),

Mormon leaders are effectively insulated from the reality most of us deal with day-to-day to avoid real engagement with most individuals.


Prime Examples of Mormon difficult Questions:

- Why did Joe marry women who had living husbands?

- Why are church finances hidden?

- Why did BY cover-up the MMM? Why hasn't the church offered reparations to the victim families?

- Why is the church allowing persons who initiated divorces to be remarried in chapels & Temples, especially those where one spouse used religion as a Wedge? I'm referring to cases where no abuse, no adultery was claimed or suggested.

fwiw, I don't think it's fair to group-categorize people of different occupations.
when I was an apartment manager, another worker in a different job suggested that apartment managers are drunks / alcoholics.

In today's highly specialized & technical world, we're 'forced' to rely on the honesty of others in fields that we can't DIY.

specialization gives us in general a higher standard of living even tho I'd never again attempt tuning up my car, repairing an appliance, etc. Other things I can't DIY: dentistry, computer programming, + many, many others.

If your sentiments can expand sufficiently to accept the possibility/likelihood that ALL occupations have their 'tricks', then I will die on this hill with you.

eodog: I'm unsure as to what your point is;

"all occupations have their 'tricks'..."

I've sometimes wonder if TV newscasters who sit at a desk that hides them below their belts are wearing pants....

is that what you're talkin' about?

Other newscaster tips:
--pull down on the back of your jacket and sit on it so the collar won't bunch up behind your neck.

--as you read, occasionally pick a random word and PUNCH it.

Probably... when you’re good at something, you don’t like it when people who are bad at your job ‘taint’ how others see you.

He goes to a Spanish speaking country, and uses two newly acquired words (porque, loco) to amuse his worshipers. He says "I am not loco".

What?

(if what he had to say was 'that important', he c/should have had a Spanish Translator & a deaf translator.


Oh, I guess it wasn't important enough.

It seems to me that Marv Ashton was the last GA who at least spoke of empathy, Kindness, Caring & Consideration.
