The guy was a physician. Surely he must have known the law? He was, and there have been discussions on exmo Reddit and other places where it seems mandatory reporters due to their profession may be excluded from certain callings due to the conflict. That is my question. Is this a doctrinal position...

It was Russell Brunson that did a video saying the Russell Ballard had contact him about donating to Tim Ballard, and that they had all met together.

Not sure since there is zero confirmation anywhere I can see, but it is a verified Twitter (X) account. Also perhaps it deserves its own thread, but I'm guessing the matter is closed.
