Her Prophet Thinks About Media

nebris~As an actor I play little games regarding media and such. There are very few actors out there who have not at least once played out their Oscar, Tony, Emmy award acceptance speech in front of mirror. Such behavior is innate to the profession.
One of the 'acting scenarios' I run intermittently through is being interviewed about The Temple on some TV talking head show. Lately however, I realized that such is probably not really a good idea. That puts Her Prophet front and center and The Temple needs to have a female face in Mass Media.
Yet I would be very good at that because I can answer all the hard questions with depth, frankness and humor. So a compromise must be created...and it is thus:
I shall personally train a small group of Sisters as Spokespersons. They'll need to be 'camera friendly', which means being physically attractive, though not too attractive, articulate, with a good speaking voice, and of course intelligent and fast on their feet.
This training would basically be 'interview trainings', first with them interviewing me 'toughly' and then turning that around were I and the others put each of them 'on the spot'. I have not doubt there will be tears. And that's okay. This will be analogous to Combat Training and better to cry in training than in front of the cameras...unless of course tears are what are required in the moment.
This group of 'Spokes Sisters' would be The Face of The Temple. I might grant interviews, but only with great rarity. Most of the time, our Spokes Sisters would be the ones doing the talking. That would consistently convey the proper and accurate Message that The Temple is about its Sisters and not some fat old man lurking out in the desert.
Remember my Sisters, we are dealing with The Hologram and we must abide by its rules if we wish to Prevail.
And that's the name of that tune...
After Thought: many of these Spokes Sisters would also be perfect as Training Leaders for The Sisterhood Training.
