A site tracking LDS General Authorities?

posted by Curt Bentley, on October 6, 2007 03:30 pm

Check out this site I found when performing a google search for BYU Devotional talks: http://ldsapostlesighting.com. Does this seem a little crazy to anyone but me? It reminds of the time when Elder Oaks visited my mission in Johannesburg, and our Mission President had to remind the missionary that Elder Oaks was not a celebrity appearing for a photo-op. I suppose it might be nice to know where the general authorities are speaking so you could travel around and here them . . . but isn't one reason we have a decentralized church leadership so individuals can take counsel from neighborhood leaders who are personally acquainted with them and their situation? A site like this seems to just undermine this goal.

This is the official purpose of the site:

This is a very pro-LDS blog interested in giving more visibility to the First Presidency, Twelve Apostles and other general leaders of the LDS Church and showing extent of their travels. Please send us any inside information you may have! This includes information such as stake conferences, firesides, etc. where general authorities, apostles, or the First Presidency attended or is scheduled to attend.

Doesn't http://www.lds.org do this already?
