Bednar is an _____. You fill in the blank.

In case you had any doubt about Bednar's true colors, please take a look at this video from thoughts on things and stuff. I personally like how Bednar deliberately waits to stand as a sign of control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPBsWbopjXU. I wonder how his personal relationship is with his wife? What does she think about all of this b.s. she has to go through to massage his giant ego?

That was the closing prayer being given?

Who cares about who stands up first after the closing prayer has been said?

Somebody cares, apparently.

And it looks like the entire audience was cued in on this, as well.

None of them stood before Elder Bednar, either.

Wow!

He notices, deliberately waits, turns his back on his wife and has a conversation with the other person next to him, all the time knowing that people (specifically his wife who he appears to want to ‘punish’ by purposefully delaying standing up) are waiting for him. I’m not sure “Jerk” is sufficient.

I’ve watched it three times.
From a behavioural analysis perspective it’s very troubling.
His poor wife looks exceptionally uncomfortable and doesn’t know where to look.

Who would stand first if two Apostles were present?
Would it be a Mexican Sit Off?

This is what it means to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. Little men with big titles. All hat, no cattle. The triumph of marketing over materiality. Theocrats jostling for influence to see which one gets to be the senior shearer of the sheep.

I hope there’s a day when I’m sat either next to Bednar or in his eye line, guess who will be standing up first that day...ain’t gonna happen though, as I will purposefully never be in a room with him.

From a behavioural analysis perspective it’s worrying.

You know that after their thursday meetings, they go in order of authority, to the refreshment table. They used to have Cummings Candy Studios (not sure that they still do) deliver fresh chocolates to their meetings and the president would go to the candy table first and then on down the line. So, the jackassery is learned behavior. I wonder if they go to the restroom in order of authority too?

That's quite the dominance display.

A lot of things about his wife's behavior are becoming clearer now . . .

Yes indeed. Piously primate-y.
