The First Presidency's secretary calls you up - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

The secretary says, "The Brethren are starting a new program where they randomly select members and ask them if there's anything about the Church we can improve. Are you available to meet with them at 7 pm on Sunday?"

What do you do? Waters, Adam, are you going to express your concerns exactly as you do here?

This is not a church that has a single suggestion-box. Your scenario is laughable. Nobody cares what I think.

But it's hard to imagine that the church/brethren would care what we think.

I think they do. I also think there are many members between us and them who don't.

If they called me for advice it would just be another testament to the claim that they are inspired men.

I would give many of the same ideas I have espoused here:

1. be more free about history
2. divest itself of BYU
3. more local service to community in wards, with a longterm implementation
4. bigger ward budgets
etc. etc.

My list would probably be 100 or so points.

That would be great. I would sign up in a heartbeat.
