I can confirm all the horse manure that has already been shared about the Tony Turd Talk and such from the branch visit. I will add a couple of things not mentioned yet:
1) Tony doesn't think it is appropriate for brothers to wear bright colored socks. I guess he was talking about neon colors or something. He spoke on it for a minute or so.
2) He thinks parents should pray in front of their children and admit mistakes and even cry during prayer.
And of course the tight pants, amusement park/bethel rant, the anti workout pants that show booty etc.
He came across as a person talking off script, like a cranky old out of touch man that has way too much venom and judgment to spew.
My wife walked away from it questioning the GB more than I have heard from her in my entire life. She said he came across not loving at all. She even talked about how we are supposed to be like Jesus and he wasn't like Jesus. This was a big blow for people waking up or teetering in their faith.
I think it's hilarious of course. I told her that the difference between me and her is I am not surprised by the talk. She admitted she is taken back by it. It's awesome progress for me. At least a 6 month boost in my efforts to wake my wife up. Woohoo!
