What a great endorsement. I think that show might have just tapped into a new market--the TBMs who refuse to watch rated Rs.

And they say three’s a crowd...Took my wife to see Hamilton last night and as we’re waiting for the show to begin a police office and large body guard escorted President Nelson, his wife and Sheri Dew into the theater and to their seats (center area in the orchestra section).

Maybe he watched it to determine if it is appropriate viewing for church members. He can't really tell the members if they are allowed to watch it (or not) if he hasn't seen it first.

Did The Apostle Peter or any of the orginal 12 Apostles have body guards ??

Considering how they all died, it might not have been a bad idea.

When asked for comment, Michael R. Otterson stated "no tithing money is being used for the purchase of Hamilton tickets, or bodyguards for leisurely outings."

What's going on with Sheri Dew and Nelson's wife anyway? Don't they have houses really close to one another? Inquiring minds want to know what goes on after Nelson goes to sleep at 6:30 p.m.

At least one of them (Peter) had a sword. Nelson should take note and lose the body guards and start packing.

Nah..not only was their death forseen, but it was necessary. If it were stopped, then the whole plan of a great apostacy would have been frustrated, and the Devil would have won. I wonder if that's what's happening now, Devil's starting to get a win.
What if God's whole plan gets this far and then us humans mess it up so bad that everyone is lost to the devil and it ends up God can't do anything about it, due to him being bound by eternal laws and all that? We're so smug in that God will win at the end, but maybe somehow the devil has more up his sleeve than our all knowing (as far as he can be all knowing) God knows.
