I am going to say yes to this.....

Where did this announcement come from? Is it available online? I want to make sure, that if I mention this pronouncement of the inaccuracy of that talk, that I have the right sources. Thanks.

I agree. I would not want to pass on something that wasn't verified. Please let me know where this came from.

Do you mean to tell me that not everything I read on the internet is true? No!!! I refuse to believe it! Oscar Wilde himself said, "Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as nothing happened." Or was it Winston Churchill?

Can you please send the report to me
thanks

It was an email being circulated that was supposed to have been a talk given in a Fast & Testimony meeting at his home ward. I doubt an Apostle would get up and give a talk at a Fast & Testimony meeting. They leave that to the rest of the members.

and it is interesting that he never stated that this was his opinion....I personally think that goes a long way if in fact it really did happen as the original poster said.
