  All of a sudden the choir has taken on these phony and forced smiling poses. Where is David Splane doing his horrid attempt at conducting?

  Perhaps that is why they are constantly recycling the same old crusty "spiritual food" and dumbing down the meetings. This way any goofball with a tongue and lips can conduct meeting parts.

  Darkknight757 if you've ever watched a Mormon service on BYUTV I can see where the dubs are headed. I can't imagine sitting through a typical Mormon meeting, same old monotone and singsong voices, boring cheap suits and regimental ties. Doesn't take much to prepare. And now with dub TV they can tune in and snooze in the seats.

  ok so most of you guys know already that i am going through the reinstatement process for my parents but i do have a partially sinister plan which i will not mention here since someone told me that there are b-lites that read boards like this.

  last night and it was the funniest experience i have ever seen.

  besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke.

  Is that David Splane conducting the choir again? Doesn't know a thing about conducting music other than the same boring motions. As if he read a Mormon book on basic conducting and they threw him out there to wave his arms. And btw the choir director stops conducting during the interludes when the choir is to be silent. Just saying David.

  As to the silhouettes, weren't they only during the parts with the sisters demonstrating door to door presentations? Couldn't dare have sisters look like they're teaching, now could we?

  I remember when they removed him for a while. They used his visiting a disfellowshipped person in the hospital as the beginning of the witch hunt. I don't recall the ringleader's name anymore. In our talks back and forth I know he was hurt, but took it in stride in typical Weldon fashion.

  When I told him some years later of my exit plans, he simply said .... I understand completely.

  I believe there was some jealousy from the Service Dept and others at times respecting Weldon's popularity as a speaker. I helped him with the second go around of "Youth what is your future" tweaking the audio files to freshen it up a bit. He and several others, including myself, gave that talk in many places. All of us eventually got a letter from Service telling us not to give the talk.Those were the days. If you had a special self prepared talk that got a lot of raves the self righteous many began taking pot shots.

  I'll miss his candor and kindness.

  To all of Weldon’s friends and family,

  I am very sorry to say that this is not Weldon writing to you. I am just a friend fulfilling Weldon’s request. It is with great sadness that I am writing to you to inform you that our Weldon has passed away. He died peacefully from a brief illness on Friday evening (12/11/2015). Weldon requested that a final letter that he had personally written be sent to all his contacts after his passing. That letter will follow shortly and the title is “My Final Letter”.

  It goes without saying that Weldon was well known and very well loved. He touched so many people with his kindness and encouragement. Some have expressed the desire to share their personal stories about their experiences with Weldon. In order to help with this, a website was created where you can go to share your own story, or post a photo, or video. Several pictures of Weldon through the years have already been posted and some personal stories of his, written in his own hand.

  You can visit this site at:

  http://www.forevermissed.com/weldonhowze

  IMPORTANT: Arrangements are being made, when they are finalized another email will be sent with the details.

  
  

  My sincerest condolences to you all.

  A friend and brother

  Nathan Knorr was a pompous horses butt. He was the one that had the devil in him. Poor Karl, a meek man who fell to the trappings of Beth-hell.

  has there been any discussion about why jehovah would guide his people to a polluted property to build their world headquarters?

  Any developer worth his weight in Botchtowers would have done a Phase 1 environmental review during the due diligence period prior to closing on the property. If the property is as bad as they portend then the Phase 1 study would have been expanded for further review. I can't believe that Crooklyn is ignorant of these procedures. Their myriads of free lawyers should have picked up on this immediately. Could it be that they went in well aware of these issues but are feigning ignorance in order to scam some more money? Wouldn't surprise me one bit. A pock on all their houses.
