"Funeral addresses and music should balance tributes with teaching the gospel." I don't have a problem with this at all, especially since it says in the intro to learn your duty by FIRST reading the scriptures, then seeking revelation, THEN using the HOI. The HOI seems to be right on for me in giving just enough information to help but allowing the leader to lead as directed by the spirit. This is really much ado about nothing. |

Shocking level of micromanagement!

We first discussed Wikileaks over 2 years ago on CG. Who would have thought it would come to our current circumstances.
Notably the church has created new handbook of instructions. Half of which is publicly accessible now (much of the edited old material that was restricted is now unrestricted), with the part directed towards bishops and stake presidents still private. Might be a topic for another thread, but I think it makes sense to keep some of the instructions private. Because it gives local leaders extra latitude in making inspired decisions that may conflict with the handbook. That would be a relatively rare circumstance, but at least in that case you wouldn't have the membership crying foul based on not agreeing with the handbook. |

Ironically, the founder of Wikileaks (Julian Assange) is upset that documents about his rape allegation have been leaked to the public.

I think they don't want it to be fodder for discussion. And they don't want members to be able to say "Our Bishop is not following the handbook" because this might undermine faith and support. |
