I think he was on the short list for being appointed one of the 12 last time around. They went out of their way to say he wasn't excommunicated for apostacy. So it appears he likely had a relationship out of wedlock with another woman (or guy).Quote:

We, and other firms, had been burned too many times. For whatever reason that was not a problem at the U. law school.Quote:

It has been called to our attention that there are some among the various pro-white and white supremacy communities who assert that the Church is neutral toward or in support of their views. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the New Testament, Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39). The Book of Mormon teaches “all are alike unto God” (2 Nephi 26:33).
White supremacist attitudes are morally wrong and sinful, and we condemn them. Church members who promote or pursue a “white culture” or white supremacy agenda are not in harmony with the teachings of the Church.

Shes clearly off her rocker, or she is a simply other worldly level troll. Either way, she will be called into a CDC soon enough, I think. (I have no doubt that that update was a torpedo aimed right at her. She is the most prominent of these people and them using White Culture, a term she has practically made her personal motto was no accident).
The church is turning their backs on the Nephites.Quote:

If Freiburg was right, Nephi had an extremely long arm. Look it goes underneath his mom's arm and in front of Lehi holding the liahona:
