whats the dutch equivalent for that?

I love the "in-your-face" spirit of the Dutch. Love it. I almost wish I could move there.

Does this mean the branch members actually believe in the church and want to keep attending locally (rather than commuting?)? Were there any further implications to the invitation for the SP to self-abuse? Exactly how was that phrased?

I wish members of my stake were that bold to speak their mind to the SP. It's not really in the Utah Mormon culture.
I translated this phrase "Godverdomme Krijg de pleuris dikzak flikker zuig mijn lul sukkel." into Utah Mormon and it means "that is so unfortunate."

Wonder if we could chalk this up to youthful idealism, that Branch members think of their church as something more than an item on a balance sheet?

Rome niet verkruimelen in een dag.

Well the members all refused to sustain the motion to close the branch. They told him to take his silly plans elsewhere.

Wow. They all didn't vote unanimously in favor of the SPs wishes. Imagine that.

Even though in Mormon physiology the autonomic nervous response is to raise a hand to the square, this response can be overridden by higher thought processes when properly stimulated.

Who'd a thunk it?

This type of rebelious collective behavior seems unprecedented in modern times. What does a dejected SP do in this situation, get an apostle to come help?

Well, we have Uchtdorf visiting his Stake (and mine) in 2 weeks time......

I feel bad for Uchtdorf.

He must know he's got nothing, there is nothing he can do. Whereas I see the other lot as nepotistic morridor blinkered corporate lackeys, I think Uchtdorf is more aware of how people out of the bubble think. Maybe I've just been listening to all the other transitioning mormons who say that Bednar is a lizard shifting reptilian and Pilot Uchty is the best out of the lot.

Wait, they vote on this stuff? I thought it was more "this is what we're doing" and less "is this OK with you?"

It's probably like sustaining the rest of the leaders, It's just a formality, they don't really have a choice, and voting nay just gets you a trip to the Principals office. It probably won't change the outcome, just sounds like they are bringing in a bigger hammer.
