I know Tony pretty well. He's a good guy.
But the thing with this... you could have this same talk - but exchange governing body with the Mormon Governing Body.
Afterall, aren't they BLESSED also? Look at THEIR Growth. You could brag on their growth all day long.
The thing is - 10 years ago, this talk would have scared the bejezus out of me.
But it's pretty scarry NOW to see how the governing body steps in to the place of Jesus himself.
