The top brass is like Xi's CCP. It never admits to present or past mistakes,

Hey, Xi never had to modify a hurricane path projection with a Sharpie. Or bought a $44 billion toy and broke it in less than a month.

Just sayin'

Having a temple recommend improves your social credit score.

I wonder how the church calculates my social credit score!

I haven't resigned, so I've got that going for me...

But I've missed Sacrament Meeting 2,496 Sundays in a row and have failed to attend tithing settlement 48 years in a row.

I'm thinking of covering the bases by staging a brilliantly choreographed death-bed repentance, complete with wearing a scratchy hair shirt or maybe a fluffy hare shirt...

I'll let you all know when it's going to be posted to YouTube, but don't wait standing up; it's gonna be a while.

Don't forget the self-flagellation. You can't get into the CK without a few welts.

I ask this with all due respect (and you knew I would; admit it!), how about some mutual flagellation, like on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, whichever one you grew up accustomed to?

(It was Tuesdays for me...)

'Twas Tuesday night for me as well. And no.

You'll have to content yourself with your rotary phone.
