Special Report | Dallin UnFiltered! 🫣

Today we’re going back to a 2013 Mormon Channel interview where Sheri Dew sat down with Dallin H. Oaks and his wife, Kristen Oaks. And I just love it when apostles speak off the cuff because they say some of the best and most telling things.

We’re talking about Mormon agency, Oaks’ “work first, play never” personality, women’s education and careers, priesthood authority, marriage, revelation, and what happens when an apostle believes his own words came directly from God.

Oaks also explains why he sometimes wants assurances that people in smaller Church meetings won’t share what he says publicly, and admits that knowing his words could reach the world actually changes what he is willing to say. That one left me with A LOT of questions.

Then there’s his explanation of telling young women that dressing immodestly could cause them to “become adult material” to men. Oaks doesn’t just defend the statement. He describes the wording as “pure inspiration” and says, “As a man, I’ve experienced it.”

We’ll also hear about Kristen Oaks’ approach to marriage, women being necessary to move the Church forward while still being excluded from final institutional authority, “gospel culture” replacing parts of national cultures, nighttime revelation, and what exactly it means when an apostle says he is speaking for the Lord.

Because members are expected to take prophets, seers, and revelators seriously. But when teachings later become uncomfortable, outdated, or wrong, there is always the possibility that they were simply “speaking as a man.”

So how exactly were members supposed to know the difference in the first place?

Muslim sects are far far worse.
Journalists need to quiz them and dissect them like this interviewer does. :.

I do not know how Youtube recomended me this video but im really greatfull that the woman talking on the video is not going to be the one who judges me at the end of my days, other ways she will just see my whole life as something negative and bad.
I guess what I want to say is she looks like a smart person, so why dedicate a life to just seeing the things you desagree in other people as bad things, and spend your days focusing in just that when she can dedicate her time to find things that will make her happy.
Well one thing is true, she failed at convincing me that her opinion is the true.
And it does not matter if it was Oaks or Obama or Budda, she just does not have that power to convince me that she is legit.
All in her just sounds like that one really Toxic ex-girlfriend man do not want to ever know from her again.

Filtering his own words based on which Mormon audience is in attendance. That just solidified everything I’ve ever felt about this person.

You exmo fools are pretty much beyond hope unless you wake up and turn your lives around before it’s too late.
Fools mock but they shall mourn!…

His kindness caused him to sign off on torturing gay students while he was Pres of BYU. Of course they justified it as a treatment for sexual misorientation even when the science clearly did not support it.

Sherri Dew, carrying water for the patriarchy all her life. I never liked her. Even when I was active and everyone loved her. She’s fawning all over him. It’s disgusting

I can look at you for five seconds, and tell that you have some sort of screw loose. You need to sort yourself out before you sort highly respected people out . You’re not doing yourself any favors. You made the comment that he’s not progressive with the things that he said. I am so thankful that he is not progressive by your standards. Look what progressives have done to our society. Just look how it has twisted your mind. Everything he advocates for is for the betterment of the family and the structures of society, and you’re just too selfish and narcissistic to see it.

I don't sustain H.Oaks! I disdain him!

how dare oaks! The very definition of colonialism is asking a society to change their governmental structure i.e. matriarchy and force them to turn into a patriarchal society. Exactly what missionaries did to all first nations and American Indian communities.

We both blurted out bullshit in unison. That made me chuckle. 😂

Keep that clip at the ready of Dallas' infamous "walking p0rnography" line. He said it came from God but for sure the Church will claim later that he was just speaking as a man.

Sheri Dew ought to be ashamed of herself. She puffs up this man, thereby validating him to the greater LDS culture. If she is that influential, and that effective as a CEO and spokeswoman, she should take the top job. Sheri Dew for LDS president or bust.

But never left off the leash. Just give glowing comments and the wimmins will be oh so grateful for some attention from those that have the magic wands. Harry Potter is the underground prophet. I say; “wands for everyone!”
