Stop asking the Brethren questions!
Once again the letter from lds-inc in SLC is out to the Wards and Branches and twigs to stop writing and calling Salt Lake City and The Brethren with Gospel Questions. Also personal help questions.
Go to your local jokers is the message, and Quit Bothering Us!
What does it matter if your local guys don't know a seer stone from the sear of the trigger of a rifle, they are the source, not The Lords Chosen! It matters not that you may be asking for help of those who tell everyone within fifty miles how dumb your are, quit bothering Salt Lake with your dumb questions!
Maybe if lds-inc leadership actually answered the questions they get over and over again much of this would stop?

Re: Stop asking the Brethren questions!
You're right, Joseph. There are so many important questions the First Presidency refuses to answer. For example, the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 are a real problem for the church. The First Presidency has ever hidden themselves in the cavity of a rock and sent out school teachers to do all the PR work and say anything to the curious members just to shut them up. The First Presidency truly is a trio of idiots who think they know so much but in reality have nothing of substance to offer. They are like jello who spout off the same old tiresome testimonies. "I know the church is true". Goody for you, Monson-boy.

No letter read in my ward today.
(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.

Harmony, maybe your ward is smart enough to know it is a waste of time writing to Salt Lake. The Bishop did make a point of reading the names of each of the First Presidency, though he mispronounced Uchtdorf.

Maybe we should ask Yoda the tough questions since the prophets are too chicken.

Perhaps you could produce a copy of this letter that calls local leaders "jokers."

This, as usual, makes no sense.

Or maybe... just maybe... we could do what we're supposed to do and ask God.
I know that you have to be led around like a blind sheep, Joseph. It happened when you believed everything you were told by everybody without finding out answers for yourself. You were duped by yourself into believing that the Church is all faith-promoting and rosy and perfect when it is impossible for any organization to be perfect. You were angry when it turned out not to be perfect, I get it. You should have been more informed; you should have actually picked up a book.

Pretty lame, Simon. I am sure most everyone with an IQ somewhere north of 90 realizes that the word "jokers" was Joseph's characterization of local LDS leaders and not a quotation of the letter.

You know that, Simon? How?

Or could it be that people like you assured him that all apparent problems were not actually problems? You know, apologists.

QED.
Apologists like you should be considered apostasy factories.

O God I ask you in the name of Jesus to reveal the name of the king as written in the writing of Facsimile No. 3.
Please tell me now, God.
Uh, I'm listening.
Are you there?
