Funny. This is close to my impression of the visitors center on Temple Square.

Your tour must have missed the new visitor building on the SE corner of temple square. And the Joseph and Hyrum statue by the temple. And the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (former Hotel Utah) with the huge JS statue in the foyer. And the Church History Museum across the street to the West.

It's interesting how our biases affect our perception of reality.

I didn't know there was a new VC. I can't comment until I check it out. Since my comment was about the VC your other observations are inapposite.

Come on. Every few months you argue that the church is embarrassed of JS and use your temple square visit as evidence. Given the context of your post above, I think you were making the same case again. It just isn't true.

What's your point? They're not so enlightened after all? I know you know the secretary of a corporate board isn't the same thing as common usage. Lame, Tex.

Just trying to add a little levity. Sorry, I'll try to be more cranky.

If the LDS church had two female apostles, who would the other one be (Sheri Dew would be the first, obviously)?
