Your capturing & citing Ejonesie's classic Flying Inman assessment never fails to size up Mormonism with perfect clarity:
What's "funny" in Mormonism is that an employed "PR" rep of Lds, Inc....
...is more fully embraced by Mormon grassroots (who want to "look good" in the eyes of their "Gentile" neighbors)
...than the DIRECT words spoken by their 19th and 20th century "prophets" and apostles!
Utterly unbelievable!!!
We've noted how numerous FREEPER Mormons thru the years will quickly side with the "PR" rep as representing "official" Mormondom -- quoting them...
...all while casting Brigham Young, or Mitt Romney's GG Grandfathers, Orson and Parley Pratt (Lds "apostles"); or Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, under the bus.
(It's all about surface image)
Heck; I'd want him there TOO; considering that he DAMNED them SLC Mormons!!!
