        Thank you for posting this. I’ve joked and murmured about the name, and now the logo change. This a good reminder for me to focus on what the intent is.

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Exactly what I would expect to hear from a corporate lackey. Tote that line JL..

            I will say. I love the logo, just bitter by the loss of my gamble/prediction. Oaks really had me excited to shoot me down..[emoji2959]

              Did that feel good? Did it feel good to go and make fun of a man that a lot of people on here view as a prophet? Good grief you’re an ass.

                  You've misinterpreted my post, but I'll not try and argue otherwise, as I can see you're upset.

                    Remember that time when Lebowski offered to help you personally?

                    Was he a lacky then?

                        Ha ha “Tote that line.”

                        Never heard that before. Awesome mixed metaphor of “toe the line” and “carry water” for the church leaders?

                          Also, I'd wiped the phrase TOE THE LINE! from my memory. As a young recruit some 20 odd years ago, when the drill sergeant yelled that, we had to drop everything and assemble in the hall with our toes right up to the blue squares in the middle. BTW, it was verboten to walk on the blue squares at any time other than when we were waxing them, or if your were a drill sergeant.

                            I would agree here with the tone, but would change the last word to state that the announced changes are disguised as "revelation". Corporate re-branding plus the publication of a meaningless boilerplate "proclamation" which could be more simply described as a run-of-the-mill press release. Do better RNM.
