The First Feebles

Post by sock puppet »

Seeing the announcement of the new "First Presidency", it was obvious how feeble and weak these men are.

So, who among the 14 pretenders is really in charge? Stevenson? Cook? Or is it just on auto-pilot being pushed forward by the "deep state" types at the COB?

I have mixed ideas about this. If you remember the leaked video by Mormon leaks where Gong was briefing them on world events it looked like many of the top were actively participating albeit in strange ways. But now they are much much older and I imagine those kind of meetings don't happen as often. That would mean there is probably a second tier of shadow handlers/managers. Are these people taking orders from the other apostles? Probably impossible to know.

Wait a minute! They say that they are taking their orders from their god. Who are we to deny that? /s

Is that a genuine photo? It seems a little weird. Oaks is taking possession of Eyring’s armrest with his spookily long little finger, and Eyring seems to notice. And those two are weird enough that they make it weird how the other guy is just looking normal.

It looks like a reproduced photo uploaded by a user of the Imgflip photo site.

It doesn't make these three gentlemen look very user friendly, does it?

That may have been the point.

And yes, there seem to be some incongruities.

This is a demonstration of how various folks view these men. My guess is that the original poster that put this picture up on this board did not even notice the incongruities. He/she simply looked at it and found it met their preconceived expectations.

Yes, it's creepy, but a genuine photo from the press conference. See KSL: https://ksltv.com/religion/first-presidency/832082/

So, are you saying it was manipulated by KSL in the video? From a different angle, you can see all of three in these poses at 1:11 into the KSL video clip posted by Everybody Wang Chung.

But, it is quite frank of you to admit that "these three gentlemen" don't look "very user friendly." The "incongruities" you see seem to be their unease with one another and the situation they find themselves in.

If the picture hasn't been doctored at all I would say that this snapshot is catching them at an inopportune moment. If you watch the complete news conference you find many other 'still frames' that portray them as being happy, smiling, and engaging.

Christofferson seems to be a bit off...more than the others. Shading is off. There does seem to be some A.I. manipulation as mentioned earlier. The armrest, hands/fingers, etc. A.I. has a difficult time separating what is real and what is not real when putting two human forms next to each other and contextualizing everything in between.

We can all be 'snapshot' at times when we may have a blank look on our face or other 'face view' that is less than appealing.

I think there could have been better representations/pictures to use. As I said, this one fit the bill for the purposes of the person that posted it.

MG
