Looking for a confirmation, Elder Packer talk---
I hate relaying third person stories except when its a prophet quoting a prophet. But I heard one yesterday from a good friend who is serving as a Branch President at the MTC. I trust my friend, but I need to confirm his story with a couple more witnesses.
His story has to do with Elder Packer giving a talk to the staff and all the missionaries at the MTC, a very short talk that only lasted for a few minutes.
Anybody here heard about this talk?
Thanks
Bob

Ditto. Sounds pertinent to those that heard but still I would like to know.

Re: Looking for a confirmation, Elder Packer talk---
Its still a third person story and not worth relating until I hear the same description of the event from other sources.
I refuse to pay any attention to people like Alex Jones, Jessie Ventura, Glenn Beck and Rush. I may listen to one or two them on occasion for the simple reason that I'm looking for the confirmation of the "great division" that is happening now. Rush is working really hard on the great division.
"When" and if I get confirmation of the talk supposedly given by Elder Packer, I will express my opinion and make sure its understood "as" my opinion.
On a side note, If, I were to compare Elder Packer to a prophet of the past, in "my opinion" it would be Abinadi, brother of Amaleki, son of Abinadom (Omni 10-30).

Do you know when President Packer supposedly spoke at the MTC? I have a nephew who entered the MTC a few weeks ago, and I heard from his dad that Elder Holland spoke to the missionaries on Thanksgiving, but there was no mention of President Packer.

I agree. President Packer definitely speaks truth to power and is absolutely fearless!bobhenstra wrote:Its still a third person story and not worth relating until I hear the same description of the event from other sources.

If we had a date or something, it may be on the internet. Otherwise, I have not found anything.

Re: Looking for a confirmation, Elder Packer talk---
I suspect most know somebody who is serving in some capacity at the MTC, lets get this nailed down first! My friend didn't give me the date, and I didn't ask (my fault) I was transfixed on the story! My friend is a medical professional, he's not open to simply answering phone calls, I refuse to bother him in what may be an emergency on his part.Libertas wrote:Do you know when President Packer supposedly spoke at the MTC?

How about sharing the story and saying it is unconfirmed and that it may be wholy false or true! I'm starting to feel like this is a bandaid with no injury bobby

It's the old bait and switch! Bob... you're going to give some people here in the forum the 'heebeejeebees' if you don't share what the rumor/speculation is.

Can't, unsubstantiated third person testimony, sorry. I have an email to the doctor, he's a busy man, if he answers I'll get the real searchers on this site the info, we'll track the (two) talks down.

Yes, there was a talk. I'm not going to be the one going out on a limb, though. After you, Bob.

Ok, depending on the timing of the talk, my nephew might have heard it. He is in the MTC. However, I do not think he can have contact with anyone, so getting a response from him may be impossible.

I have a friend and employee that works at the MTC. Do they get to hear the addresses? He's a teacher.

Talked to my sister-in-law. Her son is at the MTC and did hear the talk. She did not comment on the talk at all. I am not sure her son told her anything about it. He did tell her he heard it.

Re: Looking for a confirmation, Elder Packer talk---
John Locke would like to offer his services Bob.
John Locke could collaborate the talk if he knew when/what it was given on. John Locke will then asked President Costa (a close family friend) if he can comment confirm or deny the validity of the information. John Locke will also be meeting with Elder Nelson whom he could also hit up for information. I will asked through email so I can show their exact responses if that helps.
