You need a better microphone.

Memo to myself:
If I were to disclose GoodK's real name, I wonder if I would be attacked for the next several years for having unethically pried into his personal affairs and viciously revealed private information.
My bet is Yes.

I thought you were done with this nonsense?
Why start back up again?

Re: My Newest YouTube Video: Response To Controversy
Just viewed it, GoodK. I think it's very well done. Short and to the point. The visuals are helpful in demonstrating the position. I do agree with whomever else said the mic/audio quality could be improved. Other than that, I thought it was very effective.

Do you have anything to say about the video posted in the OP? Do you care to comment on the topic of this thread?
GoodK...I can't watch the youtube video from work. I'll watch it tonight and post a comment then. Until then, I hope this thread doesn't succumb to the derailments.

Re: My Newest YouTube Video: Response To Controversy
I'm starting nothing up again.
Just curious about the parameters.
Incidentally, if anybody is claiming that the Utah Boys Ranch, or whatever it's called, is wholly unknown to the leadership of the Church, that position is obviously untenable. Whether they know the details of its operation, however, is a distinct question. As is what the precise nature of the place is, and whether and how much LDS leadership approves of its day-to-day administration.

Not a whole lot.
If the people running the place have been misbehaving, I hope that they'll be exposed and that appropriate action will be taken. If they haven't been, I hope that will come out.

I've done so. Thanks.

Without starting anything up again, I think there is a clear distinction between revealing ones own personal information - as opposed to having it revealed in some act of tabloid Mopologetics, or whatever you want to call it.

Thanks to me.
The overwhelming majority of criticism I received insisted otherwise.

And an interesting question too. Maybe you can help get to the bottom of it. Perhaps you have Sister Wyne's email address handy,
and could forward her the link http://www.mormongulag.com or the YouTube video. That would be a good start, given her claim of connectedness with the GA's.

I don't. But, if she actually teaches full time at BYU -- I've never heard of her, but there are something like 1200 full-time faculty -- her e-mail address will be available somewhere on the BYU website.
