Non-(ex- or otherwise) Mormon here from /all - who are they and what is CTR?
I'm not a Mormon, but I know a lot of them, including a loved one who left the church several years ago.
They were the First Presidency of the church at that time. Basically the CEO, err 'spiritual leader', and his two chief cronies.
Not very flattering portraits! Thank you.
Yeah, they really aren't flattering are they. But some in the church are constantly trying (and failing, often spectacularly) to play off pop culture to lure younger people in. This was one such effort.
