A couple of simple yes or no questions:
1) Does the SS Presidency have the option to have presidency meetings?
2) If there are presidency meetings, can the presidency discuss potential individuals to call as SS teachers?
If the answer to these are yes, he has an opportunity even as a bell ringer.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Originally posted by old_gregg View Posteverybody agrees with that. but this implicates a broader context in which the process of weighing evidence and reaching informed conclusions should be observed, even if for its own sake.

It is wonderful being me by the way, even if my line of work forces me to recognize these types of goblins.
And 2nd counselor in the SS presidency is not a bell ringer. He's the third-string bell ringer.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Zero tolerance does not mean they have to keep this guy in a cage at all times. They can still have zero tolerance and give him a token calling.

Originally posted by tooblue View PostI'm not sure I understand the problem you have with my posts? I do not have all of the facts (neither do you) of the case, and I am not willing to pass judgement against the individual, or the church, or even the judicial system based upon insufficient knowledge.
I am certain that the church will act appropriately, after they conclude their investigation, and that they may not do anything until legal investigations are concluded. Excommunication may be the result of the investigation. In fact, he may already have been excommunicated. The point is, at this point, we just don't know.
Are there circumstances where excommunication is warranted, and could this be one of them? Absolutely. But I am not the one who will sit in the council and help make that determination. And I am thankful for that.I'm like LeBron James.

Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
