It would be interesting to see a breakdown of who receives tickets. I wonder how many real rank and file members get in.

Matthew 26:

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.



See? It's not that Latter-day Saints worship the President of the Church or have a cult of personality about their leaders. They're just saying in effect that the President of the Church is just like Jesus..........

Are you serious?

See the scriptures. In the last days many anti-Christs will come. He obviously looks upon Obama as one of them.

It continues to amaze me that we disallow ourselves to interpret these messages they send simply because they habitually deny the validity of the interpretations. Cf. Deseret News article.

Of course he's the anti-Christ. Everyone knows the anti-Christ will come from Kenya. (I kind of feel dirty now like I'm bcspace - I'm going to take a shower).

LOL! I am interested in the interpretation that leads to this identification of Kenya as the birthplace of the anti-Christ.

I'm pretty sure it exists. faqs, bcspace, and anyone in the tea party have probably got it bookmarked.

If I were in tune with the Spirit, I would probably have it figured out already.

Mike Wallace will be unavailable to host the proceedings like the similar event for President Hinckley. What about Donny and Marie? Party poppers and whizzers are out of the question, due to all the pacemakers that will be in attendance.
