This is just the latest cringe worthy tone death embarrassment to the church and to BYU. Even the folks over at the other forum are discussed with Wilcox. All except one retired Deseret News reporter. His view, which he defending to death is that Wilcox is not a GA by only a GO (general officer). So apparently the church is not coupable.
Wilcox is an incredibly decent man. I know him.

Recall how much Bill UnReel has a man crush on Wilcox and has had him on his podcast.

But I don't like some of his theories and his comments about the priesthood ban are insensitive. Rather, BY suspended ordination for Black men to get Utah admitted as a state with southern votes under the Missouri compromise. Not acceptable to me but Wilcox should have read the basics.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

She...uhhhh...didn't help the situation for her husband. Not even a little.
This is so true. I mean seriously and happily, I can glory in saying LDSism, the gift that keeps on giving for those of us videoing and sharing ideas to help those who are having difficulties. This is just priceless!
I usually don't care about such things. As as Post Mormon for 40 years, I don't really have a dog in the fight. But as I watched the whole talk, I was genuinely saddened by what I saw, for those trapped in Mormonism. Wow. And I had genuine symphathy for WIlcox, believe it or not. He's completely locked in. I actually teared up. Very sad. Vishnu have mercy.

Wilcox is an incredibly decent man.
We're all sure he is. But completely irrelevant to Truth Claims and some of the idiotic bigoted things he said.

You can't set aside the fact that he's a man who makes his living in the Service of Faith to the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints... Corporation. Or whatever they call themselves these days.

That's a disqualifier when it comes to serious scholarship. At least a serious red flag.

So what. Humans learn and grow. At least the honest ones. Bill learned and grew up. Good on him.

Maybe. An idiot in a bunch of things. But I don't call people that. That is what differentiates you from me. Revel in the fact you called me an idiot. Revel in the fact Christ would turn my tables over. Revel in the swarmey self righteous filter you just accused me of. And then pay your tithing.

He may be an incredibly decent man, to his tribe, but his words are causing pain to many people outside of his tribe. The man needs to spend some time outside of Utah and not surrounded by the Church. His lack of emotional IQ and empathy for others is a common trait among his demographic and a big reason why I am commenting on this message board.

His apology does not come off sincere to me mainly because he has used those words repeatedly, over many years. It is not like it was clips from his past and he has matured now.

He really comes off as the awkward dad that has a tiktok accont.
