Bradford was the area authority over my mission. What a freaking weirdo. I recognized that as a 19 year old.Originally posted by Clark Addison View Post

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Gene R. Cook passed away last fall. Was called as member of first council of Seventy at 34. Seventies weren’t High Priests a long time. A few were called as mission presidents to get some leadership experience ie Bruce R. Mcconkie. Cook wrote several books on faith and family. Pretty good I think for the most part. But they couldn’t ordain Stake Presidents until being ordained High Priests.
i never had Cook tour mission , some that did told of how baptisms went up after listening to him. More faith. Did they stay active. Some didn’t like his style though. Were they rebels? On cb sometime back someone said David B. Haight told him to get rid of camera because he spoke at missionaries funeral that drowned in Canary Islands than another poster mentioned rules missionaries broke on way to death with cars and sisters and being dumb standing on rocks. Fireball that way.
For Bradford story I heard was son in law who later became ga himself said they were in Salt Lake at restaurant and he said spirit not strong need to get out. Pizza place I think. Bradford were in Chile as mission presidents when my grandparents were down there as missionaries. Right at the time he became a General Authority. Heard he said dammit to Hell to his daughter when he asked her three times to get something at dinner as well.Comment

I hope the memorial service for Elder Cook includes "You Can't Always Get What You Want" as an homage to his flying companion.Comment

I mean, that story is pretty clearly BS, right? There’s some froggy looking English dude who flee coach in the late 70s who still tells the story about the Mormon guy who mistook him for mick jagger, right?Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I think it was Gene R. Cook that visited my mission back in 97 or 98. He did a meeting that took around four hours and frankly, I loved it. I probably have notes from it somewhere in my pile of mission stuff."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

This is blowing up on Zoomer social media:
Basically, Bricks and Minifigs, a LEGO resale franchisor, owned by a BYU grad and headquartered in Utah County, Valued at probably $60-100 M, is facing massive social media backlash for 'stealing' some family heirloom lego star wars collection that they keep valuing at ~$200,000. A YouTube channel with the handle "reckless Ben" has made some very entertaining, however sketchy legally, videos that hare getting reposted everywhere. My Zoomer son who loves collecting legos looped me into this one. Fair or not, the online critics are making Bricks and Minifigs owners look really sketchy. I will admit I am finding this very entertaining. WAY better than secret lives of mormon wives.Comment

I've been following along. It's a wild story. The owners would have been smart just to pay the guy out if they lost is stuff if only to avoid all the negative publicity. Most of my outrage is reserved for the AFPD.Originally posted by wally View PostThis is blowing up on Zoomer social media:

I could be wrong, but unless he followed these guys around for days (and he may have), I'm not sure I get the stalking charge.
But the "Mormon Mafia" conspiracy theories are hilarious.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
