I've met Elder Kerr (really good friends with a family friend) and had a chance to sit down and talk with him once, nice guy.

I'd like to get in touch with him, or send him a letter.

Minor technical note: Kerr, who became an emeritus GA in 2007, was replaced as commissioner in August 2008 by Paul Johnson.

I wonder why Eyre is on that list? He is the friend of the late Paul H. Dunn, and was also my mission president.

I would hate to find out that he is involved.
I detest my loose style and my libertine sentiments. I thank God, who has removed from my eyes the veil...

Good luck, but I don't feel like hunting down contact information for you.

What??? Nehor came to name drop and has nothing useful to add?

Color me shocked.


ETA: :eek:

Not like I believed you could, but I don't need your help getting in touch with him.

I think it's useful to know that Elder Kerr is a nice fellow.

You may not.

That's my impression of him, as well. He seems personable, kind, and reasonable.

I detected no bluster in him, nor any signs of fascism.

I don't know him, nor have I ever seen him from a distance, so I'll reserve judgment on his character for now. The point is that the Church clearly has its hand in this place. There should be no question about that simple fact, anymore.

No, I came because your video disparaged a man I respect and like.

If you want something useful added, then I give you this: The man I know would never knowingly have aided or abetted in the crimes you've tried to tie him to. I find your witch hunt 'accuse everyone I can say ever heard of this institution' tactics despicable. That you would tie him in convinces me that you are casting a wide net without regard for culpability.
