Do TSCC historians or the divinely inspired prophets, even the Lord's anointed mouthpieces, bother to research the names they assign these programs? "School of the Prophets" will forever be associated with Brenda and Erica Lafferty losing their lives at the hands of the Lafferty boys who also believed they were divinely inspired mouthpieces of the Mormon God.
There was a School of the Prophets at Kirtland. Since Mormons live their lives with blinders on, they probably don't make the connection to either the Lafferty Case, or the association the term has with millions of nevermos who have read "Under The Banner of Heaven" which I still need to read.
Yes, I was aware of the Kirtland School of the Prophets, but Kirtland is *not* what I think of when I hear the reference. I realize others' experience may be different, but *I* think of the Lafferty Brothers and their atrocities. It's hard to get the image of a nearly-decapitated toddler out of my head.
I wouldn't want to be a missionary in Sweden or anywhere else in Scandinavia, anywhere in Western Europe either. Tscc is on the radar in a negative way.
"Christ-like leadership"? They have no idea what that means. If they did they wouldn't be in this mess.
They confirm an important business culture consideration.
Dress code. No pants ladies. White shirts gentlemen. This is a solemn, sacred, secret occasion.
* After careful consideration, we recommend that all participants wear Sunday attire, ie, white shirt and tie for the brothers and skirt or dress for the sisters.
This little gem about babysitters was a real joke too. It was highlighted in bold type:
"If you for example have to arrange a babysitter, it's necessary that you explain why you need a babysitter. Say, then only that you will attend a training session in Gothenburg. Mention no details."
this seems too crazy to be true, i find it hard to belive that TSCC would arrange this in sweeden of all places, given the history. from our point of view it seems too good to be true.
"After careful consideration, we recommend that all participants wear Sunday attire, ie, white shirt and tie for the brothers and skirt or dress for the sisters."
Wouldn't it be fun to show up to this meeting wearing shorts and a tank top?
according to the note, this was the third such school. Where else do these secret training courses occur? Are they a longstanding thing that has only now leaked in Sweden?
"The Unwritten Order of Things", or rather the minutia we put everyone through for things that don't matter. I think they should rename that one "The Sadducees and The Pharisees Class".
Jack Ryan's bird cage. Float a note with a certain phrase for each recipient and see what ends up on the illicit websites. That's how you know who is doing what out there when they don't want to talk. "Visions" Where the leaks are.
You mean where you send a few hundred individualized emails or memos, each with an excitable quote, with a slight spelling or punctuation error that reveals who leaked it.
That they invite females to a 'School of the Prophets'. Yes I like that and that a female prayed last general conference. Next give the females the priesthood too.
Will the Saints follow God's instructions for this modern School of the Prophets?
They are given in D&C section 88, including details such as how each person is to be greeted when entering (v 132ff):
"Art thou a brother or brethren? I salute you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant, in which covenant I receive you to fellowship, in a determination that is fixed, immovable, and unchangeable, to be your friend and brother through the grace of God to the bonds of love, to walk in all the commandments of God blameless, in thanksgiving forever and ever. Amen."
Seems that God did not provide for greeting the sisters, whether wearing a skirt or not.
Hasn't the church run into problems with these types of projects? I'm thinking about Isreal. The Irealis essentially told he boys at corporate to shut down or be removed. Does the church have a bad memory.
The only way. And I'm just speculating here. That the Swede's will allow this is if the boys at corporate are writing nice checks. In other words. Buying some happy.
