I've watched this many times, and I hope that those of like mind here will feel the same appreciation, that in a world full of turmoil and uncertainty and disruption - some have been as steady as the North Star in proclaiming their convictions.
God bless people like Gordon B. Hinckley.
3 And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people; for they do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another. 4 Behold, I am laboring with them continually; and when I speak the word of God with sharpness they tremble and anger against me; and when I use no sharpness they harden their hearts against it; wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them. 5 For so exceedingly do they anger that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death; and they have lost their love, one towards another; and they thirst after blood and revenge continually. 6 And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God. (Moroni 9)
More realistically: Let the attacks begin against all that is good and true (Or am I being too cynical?).
There is a trap here, prepared by the Dark Side for your undoing.
Just say that you find Hinckley too boring to be worth any comment, and then step back from the keyboard.
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Yep. And whenever the Salt Lake City Police Department had a murder investigation going on, they knew they could count on honest, frank answers from people like Gordon B. Hinckley.

I don't know that we teach that. I don't know that we emphasize that.
Hinckleybutt was a Goddamn liar. I have no respect for him. I'm glad he's dead. To hell with him. The videos offered by the church concerning him are on par with Grape Nut cereal commercials. Blah!
Did he ever stand up for the so-called inspired Explanations of Facsimile No. 3? No, he did not! His ability to act as a seer/revelator or translator was just as stupid as Joseph Smith's who botched up the papyrus in lying in the name of the Lord.
Let the bastard rot in his grave and the worms eat him. I hate him.

And what kind of frank and honest answers did we ever get out of Hincklebutt regarding the botched up Explanations of Facsimile No. 3? Please, do tell. The great prophet, seer, and revelator (translator too) had nothing to say for the lies penned by Joseph Smith the pretended Egyptologist. Thus we see Hincklebutt was just another imposter for the Lord -- a nice smiling face covering up lies and no doubt asking God knows how many men about their masturbation problems.
Rot in hell, Hinckleybutt, you fake prophet. I have no respect for the dead bastard.

I thought at one time you liked Joseph Smith. What happened?
