L. Tom Perry Takes Dead Aim at the Left in Conference

[Guest]

This was a new and quite lucid "choose you this day" moment for the NOM's, "Reform," and "neo-Orthodox" cultural Mormons, and especially those among the small but vocal liberal LDS academic elite who fancy themselves the authentic "anointed servants" and oracles of the Lord among the Latter-day-Saints (and perhaps those "voices" of "Mormon life and culture") who, having at first tasted of the fruit of the Tree of Life, and then having looked around and made eye contact with the cool, hip people in the Great and Spacious Building, felt ashamed, and, well, not really left the Church in the way many leave the Church (leaving it and attacking it from the outside), but began a life's work of boring from within the Church such that, eventually, the Church will leave the gospel.

I found this especially clarifying and productive of courage, faith, and renewed valiance as the Saints (and others of the good, noble, just, and righteous of the earth) face The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil and its factions, wings, sects, sectarian cults, ideologies, norms, nostrums, and mythologies as elucidated in the Book of Mormon, as the days grow short, and midnight approaches.

These suggestions for creating stronger family cultures work in tandem with the culture of the Church. Our strengthened family cultures will be a protection for our children from “the fiery darts of the adversary” (1 Nephi 15:24) embedded in their peer culture, the entertainment and celebrity cultures, the credit and entitlement cultures, and the Internet and media cultures to which they are constantly exposed. Strong family cultures will help our children live in the world and not become “of the world”

May God bless, protect, preserve, and continue to reveal his will and word, in harmony with his brethren among the Twelve and the First Presidency, to this special witness of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Once again your point is buried under steaming piles of verbosity and pomposity.

[_Sethbag]

Bob, you are too kind. All I saw is the steaming piles...

Anyone who fights against NOMs and other less than orthodox Mormons is actually destroying modern-day Mormonism.

Who do you consider The Great and Abominable Church to be?

Verily, the bonds between different atoms are growing ever stronger in these latter days.

Geez, what an insufferable tool you can be, Droopy. Just drop the Ulysses Everett McGill meets Jerry Falwell act and be real for once in your damned life.

Don't be too hard on him. That kind of writing has earned him thesis A's at Nathan Bedford Forrest Community College.

I don't want to be too hard on him, but this fustian nonsense is too much to swallow. Just drop the act, Droops. It's not funny; it's not impressive; it simply does not work. Be yourself.
