My motive is so that when your kids ask you why it was, you don't have to make something up ("probably for the same reason non-Levites were denied"), or have to tell them "We don't know, it's never been told to us".

Why would you not use it as a learning and teaching opportunity? Why would you not ask; well, since the reversal how has the church acted, how have times changed? Is the issue a stumbling block or an opportunity? |

We know that David O. McKay was equally defensive of each of them when they came under attack. So who is the David O. McKay of CG? You creek?

The death knell was when they hired a candy bar salesman who didn't have the sense to not copy and paste his addresses to the university.
The death knell came when BYU decided to take a moral stand. Against the sculpture "The Kiss." I really have no sense of what the future holds for BYU. And that's why my discretionary funds don't go to support it. They don't need my money to do more of the same. |

This is puzzling. I had not read this interview for about 24 years and only read the first 2-3 pages today. The part I read today still seems to me to be very good. Clearly McMurrin remains among the best and the brightest LDS culture has produced, and clearly he was a man of enormous integrity. I was once very familiar with the interview, and my memory is that I agreed with about all of what he said, and I'd be surprised if that has changed. All of you should read this. His comments are timeless.
