I'm not sure what you all are talking about because I'm writing from my iPhone and it's hard to read pages and pages of posts since I don't have the 6 plus yet.
let me just say that a famous scientist / acquaintance of mine is retiring at age 82. And he looks extremely old. He worked in the lab till the end, but his productivity really dropped over the last few years. He has helped put Church leaders into better perspective for me.
The Church is led by elderly men who are not at their best. It's really tragic. This is the single greatest factor limiting the Church's ability to deal with difficult issues and move forward into the future. I've called some of them senile at times, and I stand by the terminology. But I think they have one of the toughest jobs in the world. I'm sure some of them want the Church to tell the whole truth but are worried that the devout will take it too hard. It's never easy to admit when you've been wrong, so the Church has chosen to avoid admitting fault and now it is catching up with them.
They need to institute a mandatory retirement age at 80 or so. Prophet emeritus. Etc.
