Boyd K Packer passes away

...makes me wonder if God let him live just long enough to see gay marriage legal in the whole USA

Or maybe it was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

I thought the same thing.

Or . . . that was what finished him off.

Is PFS trolling OW, or is "imaginary" supposed to be a respectful way of saying whatever she's saying?

She probably had "mock," "fantasy," or "pretend" in her draft but thought imaginary was the least inflammatory adjective for this sentence.

Trolling? How would you have written that sentence?

How did Kate Kelly show up in the thread?

Elder Nelson is one day older than Elder Packer. Judging by Nelson's health, he might as well be 15-20 years younger.

I'm sure Nelson realizes that as well, which makes his new responsibility a sobering one for him. I like all the apostles, but I find Elder Nelson to be particularly likable and think he would lead the church well.

I wouldn't have written that sentence.

Assuming she was intending to say what I think she was intending to say, "hypothetical" might have better expressed the sentiment.

I thought the same thing when I read that.

Simulated?

Simulated?

That's the winner. Imaginary.

Boyd was a classmate of my Grandfathers at Box Elder High School. My grandfather showed me picture of class with him in it. My Grandfather was talkaholic heard at reunion Boyd may have said who are you or brushed him off. May have shook hands but he wasn't,t easiest to talk too. Do to position they want some privacy.

I think a few of his nephews worked on farms in Honeyville owned by my relatives. Seems in some ways to have sense of humor came across strict though. Did not mince words. Last conference I could hardly understand him. Good talk though.

Elder Packer ordained my dad a bishop once upon a time and also came to Saudi Arabia in the early 80s while we were living there and organized it as a stake. RIP.

The last time I met Elder Nelson (about four or five years ago) I had a chance to chat with for a bit. It seemed like his mind was as sharp as ever. In fact, he remembered when I had met him as a young boy much better than I did. What a great guy.

I wonder if having a 25 year younger wife has anything to do with that?

Dick Norse posted on FB that BKP used to call him up and chew him out frequently as a result of displeasure with how news was reported on KSL.

Could you tell if he was saying it in a critical way of BKP or just as a passing comment on BKP's personality?
