DALLIN OAKS

            THE Church-owned Deseret News ended its month-long silence on 2 October, the first day of the October semi-annual general conference, with an interview with Elder Oaks, who repeated his repudiation of the term purge: "Purge is loaded with meaning and a dirty piece of name-calling. . .  It has been put on by people trying to gather a following."

            In response to accusations that Elder Packer was behind the recent expulsions, Elder Oaks said, "I deplore that.  It’s scapegoating." However, he acknowledged that local leaders are informed by the Strengthening the Members Committee about members who may be violating Church standards.  The News said the committee "pores over newspapers and other publications and identifies members accused of crimes, preaching false doctrine, criticizing leadership or other problems.  That information is forwarded on to the person’s bishop or stake president, who is charged with helping them overcome problems and stay active in the Church."

            Later, in the Arizona Republic, Elder Oaks called the committee’s actions a "clipping service." "It’s a way of keeping busy bishops informed," he told the News. "But it is up to the bishop to handle it.  Bishops don’t report back." He said the information comes with no instructions to take specific action.  He compared it to his teaching judges how to be judges during his tenure as a Utah Supreme Court justice, but not telling them what verdict to reach.
