- Having the courage and composure to say what needs to be said:
- John Taylor experience “…may your venerable fathers gaze down with disgust upon their degenerate sons…”
- Harold B. Lee experience “You are 100% wrong!”
- Elder Pollock experience “We didn’t bear our testimonies!”
- What is the worst thing that can happen? The best?
- The Savior himself always said what needed to be said, but he ALWAYS followed it up with a beautiful explanation of WHY it needed to be said. Matthew 23:27.
- The Spirit! Doctrine and Covenants 33:8
