I really enjoyed ltbugaf’s comment on number 3#. Very well put.
Is our faith in the Prophet strong enough for us to obey if he said that? Would we be among those who have blind obedience or Strong Faith?

Kris, #17 has me really confused. How do you define “the faithful”? Those who won’t do what the Prophet asks them to do?

What the heck is Bunko? I have no clue what you are talking about.

I also fervently believe that the voices of the faithful could never be silenced simply by a statement from the First Presidency about whatever it is about. I just hope that the whiners and moaners would shut up once in a while due to such pronouncements…I know I know…wishful thinking.

The 1st counselor in our bishopric said they are reading a letter over the pulpit next Sunday about Bunko. My understanding was that it is from the 1st Presidency. I guess we will know next Sunday!

Sue, I must have missed the General Conference announcement about Bunko. Or was that about gambling in general?

This better not happen. I’m still dealing with the news that Bunko is now a no-no. Guess I’d better take up knitting or something.

[…] There are competing thoughts on how the Brethren might react to the ‘Nacle and the aftermath. […]

It would be bad, if you ask me, if he were moved upon to say that. I worry, though, about such a pronouncement. It would only silence the voices of the faithful, and leave the rest to lead, comfort, and guide each other further astray.

Would it stop? No. Would it be significantly diminished? Yes.

On the other hand, many of us who participate don’t cricitize the church leadership nor the doctrine, and the practices we criticize are those that belong to church culture rather than come directly out of its theology.

So for me, at least, I can’t see that I’d be inclined to do much that’s different than what I’m doing now. There’d just be fewer (or less active) places to do it.

What would happen, though, is that there’d be plenty of Pharisees among us, criticizing and judging the rest of us.

And don’t get me started on the R-rated movie debate.

Of course it wouldn’t stop and all of those church members who go there frequently would find a way to justify still going there. I mean, look at the R rated movei debate…etc…LOL
