Re: Good Lord
Personality cult, anyone?
Hinckley was a likable enough guy, I'll grant, and while I was a believer, he was my favorite GA for many years. But this is hero worship, essentially. And it's the same with the all the movies glorifying Joseph Smith.

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Re: Good Lord
The best thing Pres Hinckley did, in all the good things he did, was to put a chain on BKP.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

I think that gives you a fair idea of the creative powers at work here.

That about covers it. Not much more to say, really.

Hmmm
I think I will stick to official biographies.

No, actually there's not much to say, just read, listen his (GBH's) interviews with media.
Show me one that is coherent, contains more than quarter truth. He evenhandedly started the demise of the
church. So much dis ingenuity, lies, propaganda's he perpetrated.
Well... not a pretty picture we see at the end.
Oh, wait, do you recall, he was saying; "No tithing money will be spent on downtown building".
The cost is already tripled.
Try to sell that now.
I am very glad he didn't manage my corporation. I know what fiscal responsibility is.
I have no doubt BKP is much better leader.

That's about as lame of a quote as the title of one of Sherri Dew's empty books, "If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be Hard".Runtu wrote:Have you seen this?

Mormons don't fire on all cylinders.

Re: Good Lord
He was an administrator and a corporation PR man all his life. He didn't even serve in war. What is there about his life that could possibly fill up 120 minutes of cinema time?
