Does this Johhnie-come-lately (1988) MINO understand what it means to sustain a President Benson as "Prophet, Seer, and Revelator?"
By his own words he has admitted that it is his view that the Church is going in the "wrong direction," President Hinckley and the rest of the general leadership notwithstanding.
The Church most likely will not address this matter during a period of time when to do so could wrongfully interfere with national elections (including Reid's) and foment national controversity, but the Church never has observed a "statute of limitations" for spiritual transgressions and the resulting ecclesiatical disciplinary proceedings.
I have no doubt that "Brother Reid" will face eccesiastical justice at an appropriate time of his stake president's choosing. In the meantime, I hope that I do not have the misfortune of seeing his sour countenance in holy places in the Washington, D.C. areas, or elsewhere for that matter.
A seat in the massive Conference Center during General Conference is a courtesy and not a right with respect to visiting "dignitaries."
In the meantime, Orrin Hatch and other LDS legislators and other government officials and employees, BYU students, the Nevada electorate, and others should distance themselves from this dangerous, two-faced opportunist....
Forgive me for saying this, however I know a lot of “Phony Mormons”, meaning that they profess to be devout when in reality it is a ploy they think will help them in business and in the case of Reid, getting elected in Southern Nevada where a goodly number of very fine Mormons reside.
It appeared to me he was playing the same tricks on the poor unsuspecting unwashed youngsters at BYU.
I know this as I used to be one of them, having been accepted into the Peace Corps after serving a mission and being just as liberal as an impressionable youngster that was going out to save the world could be. Luckily in the meantime I met the girl of my dreams, married her and moved to San Francisco where I finally figured out what a liberal truly was all about.
I’m glad I got off the fence both in politics and in religion and found my truth in something else.
I do hope Reid gets excommunicated though I won’t hold my breath.
