Interview with Sterling McMurrin

[MikeWaters]

SM is featured in the David O. McKay biography. Interesting read.

Here's a quote that I think applies to cougarboard and cougarguard.

The very fact that Sunstone exists, and I think it is a wonderful thing--these Sunstone affairs--the very fact that it exists shows the weakness in the church, that people can't go to church and say what they think. They have to get out somewhere else to say what they think. For a long time there were these so-called church history groups meeting. And I guess there still are. They were all over the church because people wanted to go somewhere where they could say what they thought and communicate with others honestly. I am going to have to tell you a little story.

I wouldn't call it a "weakness" per se, or maybe I would, not sure. But I do wish that somehow I had the opportunity to discuss more things than I actually get to do at church. I think that's why many of us flock to these forums. To have an expanded sense of what it means to be part of a LDS community.
