Question about the priesthood and 1978

[YOhio]

Yep.

Moral of the story: always check twitter first.

Yeah I pulled over to the side of the road and cried for nothing. Super embarrassed about that.

Me too. But I will always remember that moment.

Too good to be true.

Here's a snippet of the .pdf of his 'complete' remarks:

With that in mind, I am announcing the formation of a Scriptural Review
Committee on Race. This committee is composed of representatives from The Quorum of
the Twelve, The Relief Society, The Seventy and key members of BYU and CES faculty
in sociology and race relations and will be presided over by the President of the Genesis
Group. The committee will take the next 6 months to review our current body of modern
revealed canonized scripture and identify those faults of men around racism which have
been left uncorrected. They will consult with experts in sociology, race relations, and
theology from both inside and outside of the church and present their recommendations at
the October General Conference this fall. Those recommendations may take the form of
additional footnotes, updated headers, additional explanatory text or even full removal of
offending passages.

An apology is never coming, to quote Dallin H. Oaks "the history of the church is not to seek apologies or to give them."

lol what a nancy!

[Flystripper]

too bad. I actually thought it was a great apology and thought how much good it would do.

It's interesting how fast and convincingly the hoaxsters put out the phony website. Here's an accurate one: https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/artic...nal-leadership

That is a very complete hoax. Who would put all that time into that? What's the payoff?

maybe the goal was to show the church what a good apology looks like and that it is possible without undermining your organization.

Well it won't happen in this day and age.

[Flystripper]

Well it won't happen in this day and age.

yeah you are probably right but its too bad. IMHO it would do wonders both inside and outside the organization, but it matters little to me on a personal level other than it would be profoundly meaningful to many dear friends and family members.

A solid statement from Nelson. Really can't find much fault with what he says. But unfortunately I read the hoax first. What could have been...

Based on the "previous article" and "next article" links in the footer of the fake article, this was the original that they used as a template... published on 26 March 2018.

The domreg and the copy/paste job to construct the single page website (plus a pdf transcript) wouldn't take that much time. Domreg is private through domains.google. Hosting account is at Digital Ocean. Both cheap and easy. The authors did go through the trouble to try and make a convincing reverse IP, which is config'd for "origin.lds.org" and "ldsmaps.com".

If you view the source of both articles, you can see that much of the layout/formatting was unchanged. Local copies of assets (images, style sheets, etc) were made, but tools for cloning a website exist in abundance.

The text of the fake article itself and the fake transcript could take some time to author, but could have been collaboratively authored.

The payoff is the thrill of the prank I guess.

Walter, you have too much time on your hands. Why don't you get into base jumping or something?
