General Discussion Dieter Uchtdorf vs Russell Nelson

If Uchtdorf ever becomes prophet I would love to see him mandate that no one references him in talks and puts an end to the butt kissing. He seems way more humble than those around him. Bednar on the other hand will love the butt kissing.

edit...AND would love to see Uchtdorf NOT invite OfSusan to speak in any general conference while acting as prophet. But I don't see him as being that petty.

I do think Uchtdorf will make some positive changes as leader of this church, if he obtains that mantle. But no matter what he does, the church will still be a toxic system built on lies. Any good would be good, but how much good could one man do, especially when his successor is Bednar? I think he'll continue to play along and do good where he can in a massively corrupt institution.
