A Stake High Councilor I know (located outside the Morridor) told me today that his SP recently told them (the HC) that when they do their ward/branch visits and speak in sacrament meetings to only quote from today's 15 and to stay away from early LDS leaders' teachings. This direction must have come down from the COB in SLC. Has anyone else heard of this happening throughout TSCC?

Don't listen to what we told you, listen to what we're telling you.

Seems to shut out their founder, doesn't it? Yes, the cover-up continues and the story gets continually more interesting.

I wonder it this mandate comes from the Pickle-Master-Story-Teller-Himself-Bednar or Hollering-Holland-and-His-Holding-Up-the-Wrong-BofM-Story-Teller?

My Brethren, it is imperiously imperitive that we spin a new, magnificent story and this will be done by a, b, c , and d.

Yes, you hear me correctly......Joey and his 44 wives cannot me mentioned nor can bully Briggy's reign. Today's 15 are who we quote and admire and swoon-over. Anything else, anyone else, well, you know what to do.

This is interesting since the 15 seem to be quoting JS more recently. I was thinking they were doing this since more and more members are learning what a creep he was...so they cherry-pick generic Christian quotes of his and ignore the crazy...

Cherry Picking at it's best.

You will hear only my words.

You will Read only what you are instructed to read.

You will obey without question.

You will follow The Q15.

I'll thank you to not use the phrase "Cherry Picking" when discussing Joseph Smith.

Push the apocalypse talk, demand obedience and hope for the best. The can't come clean on the past. Its too devastating.

However, I gotta say the "new guys" are not doing much better with the "no baptising children of gays" etc.. Off to a great new start!

"Hey Brethren! There's this new invention, you might have heard of it, it's called the Internet. And you can look up anything you want on it. You can even watch a lot of free porn. But I digress. Anyway, you can find out everything about the history of the church. It's all there! Good news!!!!"

This makes sense since the BIG 15 and all other general authorities are already quoting each other!

Sounds like the blind leading the blind.

Or in the case of the 15, the blind, dumb, and mute leading the blind, deaf, and mute. (I just wish they really were mute.)

Well if that doesnt stink of damage control...almost broken arrow time till we call down the lightening bolts on our own position to ward off the apostate hordes clambering at the gate...just another boot in the prunes coming for the afossils with policy like that..even the old guys might question the reasoning of this...or not...mormons are nt big on questions...but theres the ancient doctrine of straws and camels....gnats and camels...all this talk of camels
