sorry to have offended what must obviously be your more refined sensibilities. But that does not change the simple fact that it is probable, there is no callousness in that towards the elder or those more intimately involved.
What's infinitely more probable is that it was a random accident, and Sao Paulo bus drivers are maniacs.

yes, this is more probable....though "more probable" begins to cause doubt about if it were truly an accident per se.
Buffalo wrote:...random accident...
is this not rather redundant?

Is English your second language? Not judging, just asking.
fair enough, and maybe it is, at least the english you are typing. perhaps you can explain to me how an accident can not be random? is there such a thing as a "planned" accident, or a routine accident ? especially with regards to being struck by a bus? just asking

Obviously you view it as an accident that was planned out by God in order to punish the Elder with severe head injuries for spending an extra 13 minutes on scripture study instead of proselytizing (why God chose not to punish other elders for committing similar or worse infractions is just one of those mysteries of godliness).
My thesis is that the accident was random.
Hope this helps.

My thesis is that The Lord welched on the deal where He provides protection for people on His errand.

Its also possible that "the Lord" exists but that the LDS got it all wrong. Elohim is one of the least believable, inconsistent, douche-baggish, deities available to worship...I would rather worship my kitchen sink, at least the answers I would get would be consistent...
