Still the Church makes no comment other than 'the guidelines are in place'.

In other words, if something went wrong it did so at a local level.
And I'll bet Kirton McConkie have a piece of paper that legislates that position.

Man, I hope someone talks some sense into the husband before the statute of limitations expires.

I hope so too, but it's not going to be the lawyer who states she is representing the family while putting out statements defending the lds church. There is no integrity there.

You guys really are clueless....

When I was in the Marines in each training period every single hump (hike) there was someone or several people who had heat related issues, and this was in Southern California Summer Heat, and we didn't even have close to what the Church has in preparation to keep people healthy and does otherwise related to safety and the highly limited nature of their Treks. We wore full fatigues, packs and other gear, doing 20 mile humps up and down mountains at a fast near slow jogging pace.

See, what you bigoted people don't get, is that when you do things such as this, even in the best of circumstances sometimes crap happens, the planets align. They've had these Treks for years without much in the way of problems, and the Church is VERY careful about safety etc. and they've had years to perfect the system of it.

I can't say why things happened so great this time, and neither can any of you.
So stop with the unrighteous and false judgments. This was an accident.... pure and simple.
