He was obviously removed because he was leading the church astray. God had to do something.

I feel sorrow for the loss this is to those who loved him.

well that's one way to get out of taking any heat for sharing tithing records with business opportunists. Fortunately for him, he's gone now forever, and can't be held accountable.

It's one advantage of having such old leadership. When they do shady things, waiting out the clock is a real option. Younger leadership doesn't give that choice.

Hadn't he just had a stint in the hospital with respiratory problems?

No, absolutely not.

I don't think so, Dr. Shades. The church leaders have a free pass for any and all corruption or bad mistakes. That Ballard errored at all is an anti-Mormon lie.

Only if they don't get caught, which doesn't apply here. . .
