pam Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 SALT LAKE CITY — The LDS Church has asked the U.S. District Court to quash a requested subpoena of its top leader, President Thomas S. Monson, by attorneys for two Navajo siblings who sued the church in March. The church's motion was filed Thursday. It calls the issuance of the subpoena, which would require President Monson to testify in the civil case, "improper." http://www.ksl.com/?sid=40769723&nid=148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_A_Guy Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Getting to use the word "quash" in ordinary conversation on a regular basis, is one of the best things about being a lawyer. lonetree, zil and Backroads 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 It really makes no sense to pull him into another state so he can give a deposition saying he was not involved and really has no information to provide. Why would they do that? Oh, yeah -- "tactical maneuver...to create leverage in the litigation". What are they hoping to leverage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting they were hoping to elicit a semi-official statement as to President Monson's medical condition/purported inability to testify.

An Investigator Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 They are trying to get it in the jurisdiction of one state as In others the time to report a crime will have expired, according to what I've read on fb. This makes me really annoyed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To what end? To "expose" his weakened physical condition? Yeah, we already know about it. And we pray for him because of it. What? We're supposed to denounce him as a prophet because he's old and has failing health? Heck, that just makes us more concerned and pray for him more. What are they thinking? You know what? Whatever.

This makes me really annoyed ? Since you're new to the faith, I guess you should be warned. Be prepared to roll your eyes a LOT in the future. Sometimes because of what people say about us. Sometimes because of how people behave toward us. The rest of the world decides to take offense or issue lawsuits. As Mormons, we generally roll our eyes and/or shake our heads and say "whatever". Or, as my BIL does "My give up!" Edited July 27, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily mean the gospel, ala missionary work, I just mean the truth about what we really believe and how we really behave (i.e. that we're just normal people, and the nutty stuff is mostly exaggeration or misunderstanding). Just having people know a normal, every-day Mormon goes a long way toward good will and good relations. An Investigator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought of it as a joke that was never actually served until I had some at my grandpa's funeral a few years ago. pam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
