The church’s decades long culture of… “confidentiality” …is really catching up with it.

“It’s not secret, it’s sacred confidential.”
Language gameplay is really interesting sometimes. The way to play the game is to make language so remote to the listener they can’t help but to agree with the deceiver. In the Mormon church’s case, you have decades of sociopaths promoting sociopaths, who are adept at wordplay, and any moral compunction they could feel if they were a normal person who has genuine faith in a deity is replaced by an overarching desire to win, to hoard, to accrue power and increase reputation, so lying through deceptive language is not second nature to them, but a necessity for their personal aims.

How can anyone watch this 4 second clip and not think the church is being dishonest:

This 60 Minute episode is going to be a huge black eye for the leadership.

Best of luck to the brethren in trying to whitewash and gaslight the latest episode, and glad I'm not suckered by them any more.
