So as a bishop or stake president, you need to be cautious in how you voice dissent? What about being a past bishop or stake president, because once you're a bishop, you're always a bishop?
What about being a BYU prof?
And when you voice dissent, do you emphasize your disagreement with Church leadership, or the concepts being discussed?
Do you state, "I don't believe that legislation accomplishes the stated goals," or do you state, "President Hinckley is egomaniacal idiot who is under the control of the moronic Republican Party?"
Do you mollify how you critisize because it's the Church leadership with whom you disagree?
