Yesterday I posted my transcript of Elder Bednar's Houston talk. It is terribly problematic talk. Here is one example.
Around the 01:50 mark, Elder Bednar says (emphasis mine):
I think there are members of the Church who think that we live on a different planet, we have a different life, and that nothing ever goes wrong. Uh, we're pretty normal.Later, around the 19:20 mark, he says (emphasis mine):
I have had the opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting just today more than you will in 5 or 10 years and you learn something when you have that many opportunities so close together. Whenever we travel internationally we might meet with the missionaries for 3 hours, say, from 9 to 12 o'clock. We might go meet with government officials in the afternoon. We might then have a devotional with members at night.... from 5 to 7, 7-9, whatever it is. Just all day long. Some of you teach a Relief Society lesson once a month. Now, that's great, I'm not saying that doesn't matter. It's just that we live in a totally different world, and it enables you to see and learn stuff that you can't see and learn when there is such a time gap between your opportunities to teach in Relief Society, or whatever it is you do. Okay?Elder Bednar, I have an honest and serious question for you: do you live in a "totally different world" or not?
If I am being generous, it sounds like (from your first paragraph) you believe you physically live on the same planet as the rest of us, but (from your second paragraph) you believe you mentally live in a "totally different world." Hhhmmmmm.........
