Do you think Church leaders are now secretly relieved now that Packer is dead and gone, and that a lot of us "offended" folks will now possibly return to the Church in droves?

Have they officially denounced him?

I doubt anyone will return now that he's gone.
I personally didn't leave because of Packer -- I left because the church's truth claims are demonstrably false.
Packer being a bloviating, egomanical bigot was just icing on the cake of lies.

His death doesn't suddenly make the church true.

Exactly. The church is still a cult started by a conman regardless of which old geezers are running the thing.

Well Holland and Bednar are just as despicable.

Why would they?? Aren't there other morg GA's or apostles just as bad???

Nevermo and I never will be, but...

It will be fun to see some of the younger GA's defending Packer's words 5-10 years from now. (If it takes that long- it might not.)

No. Elder Holland is by far my least favorite.

He was just one disease ridden insect on a dunghill of infestation.

So, apart from that, you think he was an all round nice guy?

I will return to the church when they renounce all false leaders, false doctrines, and false scriptures.

The church at that point will resemble the Unitarian Universalists or an atheist social club. Holding pot luck dinners will be one of the major functions of the church.

They are all minions of a Satanic cult. Why would Packer's death make any difference? I have no idea what he did that was different from any of the rest of the 12 as*holes.

Does someone want to tell me?

Heretic 2 - They don't have pot luck dinners now.... so why would that change?

No potluck dinners! This is terrible news! That was the best part of church. Our ward used to have a pot luck dinner every single month on a regular schedule.

I could never go back to church if they have eliminated pot luck dinners.

There's no way I could go back to "One of Them" no matter who dies or what new proclamations it comes up with. I look at Mormons (the three species [Utah, Moridor and Other {foreign, East Coast, African, South American, Pacific Islander}]). I just cannot think that way again.

I know that even if they admitted that the BoM or BoA was not historical accurate; but rater "inspired". It couldn't excuse or explain Polyandry, Hand Cart deaths, Mountain Meadow and the cover-up, blood atonement, etc...

I laugh at my relatives and friends, but I also remember that I was one of those "Bricks in the Wall". What can I say, Mormons whether BIC, Converts, Utah or Other--They are the epitome of "Ticky-Tacky" https://youtu.be/LM8JhvfoqdA
