Lois, the more people get what they want, instead of what they know they should have, the worse things get.

Our current president is a poster child for all the demands made by radicals over the last 50 years. As fast as he can, he is giving them what they demand. But the more they get, the worse things get.

The CofC leadership is determined to give the radicals what they want, and they have committed to turn the entire church inside out if necessary to get it done.

Our president has pretty much the same determination. However, it is not by the majority "voice of the people," but by the voice of the people whom he chooses to hear.

George

34 Therefore choose by the voice of this people, judges, that you may be judged according to the laws which have been given you by our fathers, which are correct, and which were given them by the hand of the Lord. 35 Now it is not common that the voice of the people desires anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire what is not right; 36 therefore this shall you observe, and make it your law to do your business by the voice of the people. 37. And if the time comes that the voice of the people chooses iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; 38 yes, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction, even as he has hitherto visited this land.

Mosiah 13:34-38 (RLDS) / 29:25-27 (LDS)
