Well I think he catered too much to the mullahs in this article, but given the editorship, I suppose he knew his real audience.

OSC is a mullah. Not all mullahs are bad people. I don't think he's a bad person. I just don't agree with him a heckuva lot.

You would prefer, I assume, the Lord appear in his glory to the prophet each time a new apostle is to be called, and designate him as someone the prophet has never met? It seems easier (not to mention more common) for the Lord to bring his prophet into touch with future apostles naturally, as he does in guiding our daily lives. A pattern for all of us, to be sure.

The main argument that intrigued me is the benefit the local congregations receive by retaining the talented members instead of shipping them off to SLC. In a way, I kinda agree. What good are those guys in SLC doing any way? They have almost no impact upon our daily lives, but the local leaders have some.

Come on. I don't know why they haven't called an intl apostle outside of the German guy. Probably because they don't know too many very intimately, so they don't get thrown into the pot of candidates that they pray about. |

Let's let the inner circle have their thing, we can ignore them as they make themselves irrelevant in our daily lives and the larger, outside Church can grow despite their idiosyncrasies.

So it would simply be a matter of translating the spanish talk to English, and then distributing the English talks to the other translators. |
