Well, technically he is probably right in that someone, somewhere estimated those percentages.
In my last TR interview, the interviewer started off by saying that it has been said that by holding a TR shows that you qualify for the CK. I'm sure someone has said that somewhere but that lends no credence to the statement. I quickly told him my wife and kids were waiting impatiently in the car so it would behoove him to just ask the questions so I could get out of there as fast as possible.
Fascinating.
LOL, did you really? When I was married and really, really wanted my TR, I would say whatever I thought the interviewer wanted me to say, well on the Stake level. Not that I would lie, but whatever he said I would nod my head yes.
After the divorce, I guess I don't feel the need to have one as much, so I pretty much speak up when I disagree. I have yet to be denied over disagreeing, but had a couple of strong admonishments given to me. I probably should just agree and move on. Either way I leave with the spirits of BS and that isn't good.
hopefully I didn't mislead you since I didn't tell him that someone, somewhere could have said that but I did tell him to cut to the chase and get on with it, which he did. I don't mind shooting the breeze with my bishop since he's a cool guy and I enjoy talking to him, but at the stake level since I don't know anyone I just want to get it done with, especially when it's 8pm and I've been waiting 30 minutes and I was the 3rd person in line. A 15 minute TR interview is too much unless the person comes out of the interview crying, which didn't happen in this instance.

I learned that women CEO's are evil.
I learned that the Book of Mormon on CD is 29 hours long, so we are going to have a ward book of mormon read-a-thon that will last 29 hours over 3 days. Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna skip this one.

We marched right down the middle of the Excalibur casino this morning in our Sunday clothes on the way to the car to go to church in Vegas. My daughter was proudly clutching her scriptures.
Kind of weird to drive past all of the strip clubs and adult megastores on your way to church. You gotta love Vegas.

I learned that you can't judge a book by it's cover - or a speaker by her (or his) title. Stake visitors talked. 1st counselor in the Stake RS gave a talk. I've never seen her before. She looked smart (maybe even 'wicked smaht'). Her talk sucked though. Rambling. Doctrinal flaws. Questionable discussion of Temple rites (IMO - you can quote PoGP verbatim and not mention the temple, and be on perfectly solid ground. But when you say 'in the temple we learn... <quote from PoGP> you're going off into uncharted waters...). Topic was supposed to be on receiving revelation in our lives, but ended up being really about the evils of card playing and dressing immodestly. She was all over the place. It was a wild ride...
The visiting HC gave a fabulous talk, as always. He's a really likeable guy. Very doctrinally sound. Tells good stories. Very engaging speaker. I really like when he speaks.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
