Have a buddy...ex bish...current rick who remains a good friend...im hoping just cuz were friends...not in hopes of reactivating but anyway...eight months ago at a PEC?? Meeting the word came down to stake level that the ceo was in name only...going to benson defcon three...monson was considered to be ridin the pine...nelsons revelation nonsense appears to be plausible deniability...i kinda appreciate my friend...the other day he mentioned nelsons revelation thing...then refers to oaks as that lawyer guy...most exmos know more names of the plutocracy than believers...i assume this edict came right from the top...but who knows...policy at any moment can become revelatin...tommy could have a warm moist feeling...voila the church is twoo
That was my thought. I believe the "it was a revelation, damnit" stuff was because he knows that it is going to be him very soon. And "bygod anything I say WILL be revelation!?
And I think that thing he's married to is practicing being profit's wife and plans to be very visible. I mean how may profit's have had wives young enough and educated enough to take an active role?
They did make a statement in general conference a few sessions ago alluding that the lord guides the corp and if the prophet is not able to he has a quorum in place for that contingency. It sounded like it was a typical vague disclaimer.
Might seem anecdotal...but the church is quick to vaccinate members and its done through stake and ward meetings...if tom was just ducky my friend would be quick to let me know all is well...the good ship zion is under full sail for the planet kolob...one thing ex mos need to get over...is not much new happens out of the cob...this isnt their first rodeo...a policy or technique at crowd control thats worked before will not be changed unless necessary...they do know how to dust off fossils...and let the members down easy...and what does it really matter anyway...ill miss those widow stories
I don't know. The Queen of England is going to be 90 this year, and she seems fine (well, for her age). Manson is clearly suffering from more than his years.
I think in the Queen of England's case, one thing she has in her favor is genetics as her mother lived to the age of 101. GBH was another one who was still healthy at 90, and almost lived to the century mark. Others start to decline rapidly after the age of 90, and it's not always due to dementia, but the rest of the body shutting down.
He's probably like most his age, old, achey, and his brain doesn't work too well anymore. There's probably disfunction in every body part he has. It's cruel to parade him out in front of everyone and expect him to pretend like he's not in the condition he's in.
I just saw on Facebook yesterday that he's in late stage dementia. But of course he's still getting inspiration from ghawd to keep hating those gays and lesbians and their little children.
It seemed like GBH was in surprisingly good condition when he was 88. That was 10 years before he kicked the bucket. I know it's separate people with separate conditions. So far as I know, GBH never had any kind of dementia or debilitating mental condition, towards the end of his life or otherwise. And of course Nelson is 90 and, again, he seems to be in remarkably good health. Of course, the church would never let you know if there was something wrong that had no immediate mental or physical manifestations, or it if was something that could be disguised well enough. With that said, though, whatever they are or aren't saying about Monson, it seems like he's just about at the end of his rope, it terms of his health. That conference talk seems evident enough to suggest that.
I think no matter what, if you live to your 90's, your just not gonna be as sharp as you were when you were a young man or even middle aged, but I think some people, whether from good genes, taking good care of themselves, or luck, age with no problems, and just die peacefully, either from a brief illness, or just go in their sleep. That's what I think anyone would hope for.
