Another common argument I've heard is that the PR bullshit indicates an attempt to "soften ward members' hearts" towards these typically marginalized individuals. All I gotta say is, if that's the case, then why are we still having talks like Elder Holland's on the Book of Mormon at general conference?<br /><br />This was an excellent satire piece.
