I would have simply refused to turn in the recommend. What’s he going to do? Physically remove it from her? He tries and she slaps a suit for assault on him in a quick hurry.

Well as much as I respect cinepro and wish he was right and even argued for years that this concept was the way it was meant to be, I think he is dead wrong. Scott Lloyd is 100% correct on this one, there is only one LDS church and it is defined by 15 old white guys in Salt Lake City and that's a f...
