    I like that feature. It is not much for meaningful discussion but you can follow people's travels, make contact with lost high school buddies and see who thinks he or she is really cool.

    There are also news blurbs that pop up and you will learn what the social subject of the day is.
    "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

    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.

      Runnells comes off looking petulant, especially with his last statement about "excommicating" the SP and the church from his life. Clearly he planned to resign (since he brought his resignation letter), but didn't want to do it without going through with his little video. I'm afraid this dude is going to be one that doesn't know what to do with his life now that he has "left" the church.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        His final statement was so childish, I shut it down before he finished. Both sides looked stupid.

        I have never participated in these matters. The one time I was invited (to sit in judgment), I showed up without my tie, and my bishop dismissed me, saying for such matters, I should have worn a tie. It was no skin off my nose.

          Of course he knows what he's going to do. He's going to continue to enhance the CES Letter through donations made on his website. His career will be built around attacking the church.

            Then I hope he has a Plan B. The CES letter was really not very good to begin with.

              And he'll post things on FB like..."so glad I don't care anymore"

              Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                Of course he cares. It's his livelihood. It's where his "celebrity" status came from. He's a hero to thousands because he cares so much about the church and showing how wrong the church is. Without the church he'd just be a normal guy.

                  Rennells wasted a great opportunity to garner sympathy. Pretty surprising that no one had bothered to read the letter. The SP came off as an ass, and then Rennells had to open his mouth and one-up him.

                      No kidding. 'Yes, we've called you in here to debate the merits of your letter. *ahem* Paragraph 1- you stated:...' I just don't see it. This dingleberry clearly wanted to debate so he could have a little fire and brimstone inquisition to put up on youtube. WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS? omg- stfu. Hand in your letter or don't show up to the thing.

                        Dude, he just wanted to talk about it so he could correct any errors.

                          That was my first thought. The SP/HC clearly didn't want to engage with him and didn't want to draw the thing out any longer than they had to. Runnels clearly didn't want to remain in the church. The SP comes off as uncooperative. Runnels comes off as an ass. Win-win.

                            Okay, so they read it but don't want to discuss the merits in a quasi judicial proceeding? I'm not sure it makes them look much better.

                              it's a three minute video, we have no idea what was edited out. and it's pretty clear he wasn't there to discuss the merits in good faith.
