I was thinking it has to be a gag or written by someone else.... No way he actually signed it with that message, right?
I saw this on FB w/ this caption: "A gift someone was given at a Christmas party last night." Totally given as a legit gift.
I’m putting this in the “further verification needed” bucket… it feels way too troll-y…Cruiserdude wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 11:47 amI was thinking it has to be a gag or written by someone else.... No way he actually signed it with that message, right?
Prolly is real.... Noted and filed away with the other ridiculous fruits that have come out over the last little while...Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 11:49 am I'm not a handwriting expert, but the signature is pretty darn close:

The person who posted this on FB is the one who is taking the photo. You can see their reflection in the image. The metadata was stripped because that's what FB does when you upload an image. This is an old photo of him btw, these men think this highly of themselves. The signature, though, is really tough to mimic with the gold sharpie pen that was used. But gold surely was a very appropriate color to choose for such a statement.endlessismyname wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 11:56 amVery easy to pull and place the signature of a public official...Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 11:49 am I'm not a handwriting expert (well... kind of), but the signature is pretty darn close.

It looks like the metadata has been stripped from the file, which again leads me to believe we might be dealing with a troll.
This one is just going to take some patience before we find out if it's a prank or real...
The thing that really sets off my red flags is the pose. You'd have to be completely brain dead to sign a picture with you in that pose with that inscription. Like, literally brain dead.
I don't think DHO is brain dead, although his COVID feast picture with his wife shows he might be a bit tone deaf...
EDIT: Additionally, I've been closely watching AI's new capabilities and I think an image like this is well within its reach. Might play around trying to create something similar to validate my hunch at some point.
You very well could be right on all points.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 12:20 pmThe person who posted this on FB is the one who is taking the photo.

Oaks’ pose comes straight out of the Babylon “I’m a power player” symbology. That’s why to me it feels like a troll. It looks staged to the extreme.marc wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 12:34 pm Elder Renlund's hand gestures at 1:20 just before he gets church legal (handbook) remind me of Dallin Oaks' hand gesture in the photo above.

Well, we’re working on that, aren’t we?
I feel like I'm trapped in a B-grade scary movie and I can't get out. It's mostly idiots who comically think they're cool and then moments of true horror. Sometimes, this show I'm trapped in successfully combines both things like that picture.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑December 12th, 2022, 11:29 am A signed copy from the man himself.

I’m still concerned that when all is said and done, DHO may turn out to be more of a pawn and a victim than a willing perpetrator in the grand scheme of things.
