GC, no resignations?

Post by _Drifting »

I fully expected Monson to have the moral integrity to stand down.

He has presided over a series of unmitigated disasters:
Members leaving in droves
Baptising Holocaust victims despite promising not to
City Creek draining all the liquid funds
Firing janitors and making members clean for free
Proposition 8
Visiting a quilt making evening the night before Japan was nearly wiped out by a Tsunami instead of giving Prophetic warnings to flee the impending waves
Declining Sacrament attendance like never seen before
Allowing members to find the truth about Church history from sources other than the Church
Lying in General Conference over Arthur Patton
OutDunning Dunn...
Allowing Apostles to state blatant lies on TV
Allowing an abhorrent imbalance between commercial spending of Church funds and those that go to humanitarian needs.
Etc Etc Etc

Bear in mind this is his day job that he gets paid for.

It's a shambles and any group of shareholders in a company where this type of cataclysmic mismanagement had prevailed would have been given his marching orders. Most CEO's would have had the minerals to admit their mistakes and vacate the office by now.

concepts i am not convinced you are familiar with

arguable
Baptising Holocaust victims despite promising not to
personally? or just within a minority of members?
City Creek draining all the liquid funds
all of them? aside from the nice tie-in with "creek" and "draining", i fail to see the controversy.
Firing janitors and making members clean for free
in my ward, we don't "make" anyone do anything....you are confused about the concept.
Proposition 8
definitely no apology needed. the "shareholders" are pleased with this action.
Visiting a quilt making evening the night before Japan was nearly wiped out by a Tsunami instead of giving Prophetic warnings to flee the impending waves
an obvious misunderstanding on your part for what a prophet actually is and does....and an even larger confusion about God.
Declining Sacrament attendance like never seen before
interesting, but hardly indicative...got any references?
Allowing members to find the truth about Church history from sources other than the Church
that pesky "agency", what kinda prophet/president keeps fundamental doctrine around?
Lying in General Conference over Arthur Patton
not proven
OutDunning Dunn...
snooze
Allowing Apostles to state blatant lies on TV
you have proven neither
Allowing an abhorrent imbalance between commercial spending of Church funds and those that go to humanitarian needs.
not proven
Etc Etc Etc
your obsession and cynicism is a little unsettling.

Bear in mind this is his day job that he gets paid for.

did you not even get a call back after your interview?

like the CEO's of
Goldman Sachs?
Ford?
GMC?
Delta?
Exxon?
Solyndra?
Telkom?
Eskom?
SAA?
Sun?
or
Ken Lay?
Chuck Conway?
Tommy Sopwith?
etc
etc
etc
