But, but, but- can't the other apostles just give him a blessing and make it all go away or something?

"The 79-year-old leader, a popular speaker and former Brigham Young University president, was “admitted to the hospital last week following several days of illness,” spokesman Eric Hawkins said in a news release. “He has been tested and does not have COVID-19. Other diagnostic studies are being done.”

Perfect chance for Rusty and Co. to wield the power of the phood to smite whatever demons are causing Holland's mystery malady and prove once and for all that it's all true...it ain't and they know it.

I wonder how many of the top dogs of mormonism have a secret list at home in their desk drawer of the men who must go the way of the buffalo before they get their turn at prophetship.

Not even in his 80's yet! What kind of elite elected God rep is he to get sick? Rusty could never approve of that.

I was told by our mission president that if you get sick it is because you aren't right with the Lord. Shame,shame, shame.

He has appeared quite unhappy for some time. Maybe this means he has finally grown sick of the mormon church.

Doctors say the human body can only swallow some much bullsh*t before the duodenum gives out. In any case, they may need an apostlectomy.

Revelation will be the order of the day much like mcdonalds workers figure out how to move the older meat to the front of the warmer. Mormons will be loving it.

Why not send cards to MORMON LEADER, Jeff Holland...

He can get all the cards and get incensed about the name. Should help keep his blood pressure up.

Its tough being an Apostle. Knowing that the closer you get to becoming the president. If god does not want you to be president he will bump you off.
Also what good are your superpowers if you can't help your self.
Health in the marrow? someone must of played with him self.

I wonder what it's like to have surrendered your conscience in exchange for the second anointing, then spending your life promoting what you know is a fraud, and finally seeing that the world increasingly rejects you and that all those sacrifices were in vain.

I have no problem conceptualizing the possibility that Holland, et alia, are doing exactly what they want to do and that they enjoy the ride.

Think about how long the Chicago Cub fans had to wait before their faith was rewarded.

Whether or not the afossils 'believe', they are capable of enjoying the ride. What they 'know' in their heart of hearts is something we can only theorize.

Just because you and I, being so pure of heart, couldn't maintain what for us would be a charade, doesn't mean there aren't those who can and do 'play the game'.

Agreed. But the outcome of the game is becoming less desirable every day. For some of them that must be a disappointment.

The fewer my expectations, the more I enjoy life.

I don't believe many can live like this, and it does cost a pretty penny, but if I can do it, so can the lord's anointed servants.

This reminds me of religion class at BYU in the 70s with Walter D. Bowen. He was one of the supposedly super special religion teachers then, everyone wanted to get into his classes. I hated it and found him to be a big fat arrogant pompous ass. We had to memorize all the apostles, assistants to the apostles and seventy (never-changing God had a different setup then) and know them in order.

He was BIG on the fact that when God calls them to be a PS&R, he knows who will be the future prophets and He takes people out very strategically to get the ones who are predestined to be profit to the top. But I'll bet they all think they're destined for the top and are waiting for the others to be taken out.

Jeffy has been released from the hospital:

“Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, who was hospitalized for brief observation, has been released from the hospital,” said Eric Hawkins, a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “He is returning to normal activities. He and his family appreciate the prayers and concern on his behalf.”

I'm so happy that all of you, well, except for two of you, prayed for Mr. Holland's speedy release from the hospital. It warms the cockles of my liver.

Since apostles cant be worshipped as rockstars in person because of covid 19, is this the new way to get the limelight?

Surely Holland feels like he gets the least of idol worship of them all.
