In other words, you're not sure and you can't honestly say that he lied. Got it. This is kinda like MSNBC cutting up Zimmerman's 911 call to make him look like a racist.

I would prefer if we didn't compare Elder Holland to George Zimmerman.

Occasionally you are dead right, Antley.

I'm not crazy about Holland and that is one sorry-ass interview, but BC has a habit of chopping himself (and the Church) off at the ankles.

I know that I'm a dick but every I read the subject line, I see it as "Is Jeffery Holland a dildo?"

How do we know JSJr and his successors haven't just pulled all of Mormonism out of their asses?

Your call for foundation is an indictment against "the Church" to which you give undying allegiance.

No one did. I merely pointed out that the situation with the media crucifying him probably shares the same yellow journalistic quality.

It's a BBC interview. Please do tell how this is this either "yellow journalism" or the "media crucifying him."

He's a dodo -- a lying ass cult leader.

The idiot couldn't claim to read the writing of Facsimile No. 3. Holland is a false translater. He is no prophet. He is no revelator. And he cannot translate Egyptian.

Period.

And, the church can't do a damn thing to me just because I masturbate.

Clearly, this interview showed the unrehearsed side of Jeffrey Holland. I too am flabbergasted that Holland would put himself in this position. My guess is portions may have been cut out to support your claim. That doesn't negate, however, the obvious uneasiness, squirming, and complete disaster of Holland's performance. I would love to get a professional body language expert's take on this. Holland seemed truly troubled.

Again we see how Mormon leaders confidence is shaken when confronting troubling issues in a public interview. I agree with Sethbag. Holland is not a dodo, just a believer. No amount of education and learning by itself will overcome false beliefs that one is indoctrinated with as a youth. Moreover, in my opinion, Holland is the biggest "sellout" of all the GAs.
