Also, do you have two Bishops or one? Orthodox or not? Imagine a non-orthodox Bishop...

I think all the leadership has to be Orthodox. They just don't try to make the non-orthodox become orthodox. I can see the trouble though. Adults can handle it, however I doubt orthodox parents want their children associating with the non-orthodox or hearing that non-orthodox is an OK way to be.

Wouldn't that in essence lead the "church" down a Catholic road?

Sorry, wrong Meldrum: (http://www.bookofmormonevidence.org). Rod gave our presentation. Don't know if they are related.

I don't find this funny in the same manner SU does, but I did chuckle that he lists his "district leader responsibilities" from his mission on his CV. lol.

Granted it could be a slippery slope. I don't want people who commit adultery or are actively gay feeling like they can come to church and associate with members without feeling a lot of guilt. I wouldn't want people to feel they could come in Levi's or no tie without feeling out of place. I wouldn't want men to show up with ear rings and feel like they belong.

Yea, there could eventually be some problems down the road.

In my mission this was a good indication that you had a pulse/could fog a mirror.

How about this line:

He has helped many thousands of people prepare physically for the second coming of the Savior, through food storage.

Is there anyone that doubts that there are presently members of our church who could be moved into an FLDS lifestyle without much hesitation.

I think I need to get in on this. How does one break into the mormon fireside-for-pay circuit?

I don't think you have to look very far. There are several among us.
