I had a "spiritual prompting" that it was the right decision to propose to my wife during a talk given by DHO in conference. The future wife and I were on a vacation in Utah and actually attended a session of conference. A lot can change in nearly 11 years.

You proposed to your wife while attending a general conference session? Cool beans, but your fate with the church was pretty much sealed right there.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I don't know if this has been addressed in one of the other threads, but I just heard today that Elder Eyring (and his wife, incidentally) has severe, disabling dementia. If true, that changes my thoughts on how much meaning this "demotion" has.
Obviously, I don't blame anyone who is skeptical. I'm not as much, simply because I know the source, who would know (and maybe shouldn't be sharing that info--which is why I'm not specifying who it is). We can skip the obligatory and obvious objection that this is secondhand info from an unnamed source. I'm not really interested in making the point, just curious if this is common knowledge or not.
EDIT: Actually, this is thirdhand info--a friend (who is out of the church) told me, and that person is friends with the person who would know. So appropriate skepticism. I haven't seen evidence of it, but I haven't been paying attention.Last edited by ERCougar; 01-31-2018, 11:58 AM.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I think it's getting to the point where it's critical they put in an emeritus apostle plan. With modern science extending average life span, it's going to become more and more likely that a large portion of them are not fully functioning.

Originally posted by jay santos View PostIt's clear he's not as quick or as sharp as he used to be. In that press conference, I couldn't exactly tell, but it seemed like he took step by step very deliberately and took a long time to make the short distance in to his chair. I felt bad for him. I don't know if that kind of thing in old people is purely physical or related to dementia. The way he answered questions didn't seem like the Eyring we've gotten used to knowing over the past 20 years, who is as sharp as they come.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
