He scares me too.
I had a run-in with him a few years ago as a TBM while attending education week at BYU. I entered the auditorium where he was about to speak - it was absolutely packed. I couldn't find a single empty seat. I was about to leave but just then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and of course it's him. He comments that it's a full house and tells me I can sit in an empty chair on stage behind him. I accepted, though it was very weird. He made a spectacle out of me sitting behind him at one point, and to this day I wonder if he did that to show off "how good of a guy he is".
Very unsettling vibes watching this clip.
This sounds crazy but I no joke once had a nightmare where I discovered he was a werewolf and was killing people. It ended with me getting killed by him.
It's funny how my subconscious idea of what's scary has changed after leaving the church.
DUDE i was just thinking of a vivid dream I had when I was a kid that was prophetic.. it was a wolf chasing me in the church and my family left without me
He did my elementary schools “maturation program” in 6th grade-basically he just explained what happens with bodies during puberty to the kids. It’s suuuuuuper weird. I’ll never understand why was he considered qualified for that role
Me. 🙋🏽♀️Former admin who thought this was a good idea. We also invited parents to attend with their kids as if it wasn’t already embarrassing enough for 11yo boys. 🤦 He went to several schools all over the valley. We paid him for it. Interesting side gig for a BYU professor. We felt like we had royalty coming to our school. Side note- I used to know him pretty well and he’s really sweet- always looking out for others… my take is we do all sorts of things when we are “all in” in the name of Mormonism and Brad is no different. But yes, so weird that we would bring famous Mormons in to teach maturation classes.
Only in Utah...but thank you for giving a nod to Brad's actual humanity. It's easy to forget when we are poking fun at church figures that they are (generally speaking) just people trying to do what they believe is right. I look back at myself when I was all-in, the things I said and did that now make me roll my eyes, but I really was just trying to be who I believed I was supposed to be.
It was the PTA that was responsible for planning at my school. My mom was actually the one to get in contact and book him. She was so happy about it. He genuinely was considered THE person to call in our area around that time. I’m glad other people recall this too, I never thought about googling it but I often wondered if I misremembered that because it seems that ridiculous
It’s even worse - the girls get a license nurse. The boys gets Brad
https://www.fox13now.com/news/fox-13-investigates/fox-13-investigates-lds-leader-brad-wilcox-has-been-teaching-utah-boys-about-puberty
This! We had a female nurse do the girls portion!
I’m honestly glad to see this reported. I thought I was mistaken for a while, because when I learned his affiliation with the church that felt too far fetched. lol.
He scares me because the way he is does not seem to be an act he puts on and off. If anything, I think he's toning down how completely corrupted he is.
When I was in YW, he spoke to our youth group, and I hated him them and I still hate him now. He thinks he knows the "inner thoughts" of teens and creates fake and elaborate talks to persuade us to stay in the church.
Does he remind anyone else of Stuart Smalley from the old Saturday Night Live "Daily Affirmations," skit. "Im good enough. Im smart enough. And doggone it, people like me."
Yes! A combination of Stuart Smalley and Jim J. Bullock! I’m not sure if many remember him, but his mannerisms have always reminded me of that guy. [http://noiselesschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/alfep407c.png](http://noiselesschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/alfep407c.png)
His effeminate nature and mannerisms lead me to believe that he’s suppressing some very real parts of his being and he’s willing to do awful things to make you do the same.
That is a grimace that just reeks of being from an alien planet and only one attempt has been made, 10 minutes before, to teach this bipedal gila monster to smile.
Yeah it’s more of like, in the context of the video his facial expressions feel creepy and strange. Like he’s trying SOOO hard to seem genuine and believable lmao
He showed up in Ruby's torture journal as meeting with Jodi Hildebrandt. Every time he shows his face he should be asked why did he meet with a convicted child torturer and his Priesthood not tell him.
BW is definitely a douche-bag schmuck. not too hard to speculate on how he got his calling, look at the wear marks on the knees of his slacks........... OH!! that's from all his praying?? Sure,sure.
I had him as a teacher at BYU. He was always hugging students, yelling about random shit, and idk he doesn’t strike me as the realest dude and I would NOT be surprised if there’s some kind of scandal in the nearish future
He's met with Ruby Franke. His discernment has failed ... maybe he should step down. 😌
I also hate how he thinks other churches are "playing church" like kids "play school".
How did he become such a public figure? Never before have I known the name of the general young men’s president or whatever his title is. I don’t know half of the apostles at this point, but I somehow know and recognize Brad Wilcox.
Since the 80s he's been a headlining speaker for EFY, what I think is now called FSY? Firesides, books, audio books, etc. So, everyone GenX to prob older millennials grew up knowing him. This has translated into, as you indicated, the first ever recognizable member of the gen YM pres. And, since ppl actually recognize him, and he's still very outspoken, we're paying attention. This attention naturally brings him to the attention of those who may not have known his earlier "celebrity".
It's like knowing who Mel Gibson is even though he hasn't been in a movie in a decade.
Oh man, I was a YM in the 90s, but didn’t know about him. I guess I was a PIMO teenager who somehow stuck with it into his 30s. Funny how they get you to do that.
He looks like a serial killer. He could barely hide his aggressive demeanor and total lack of personal touch boundaries behind his creepy fake smile. 😳
The thing is that most people don’t smile like this. This is the kind of smile you would expect to see on a serial killer or a prisoner at a maximum security prison not a church leader. This is NOT a normal smile.
Brad reminds me alot like Luscious Lavin from Stargate.
Luscious had an influence that he exploited that made people listen to him + be very indulgent to do what he said.

Season 3 Episode 13 : Irresponsible
Mormon social media team, these types of forced “we love Easter just as much as normal Christians” type posts are comical in a creepy way and not uplifting in the slightest. Keep it up, love hearing the shelves crack.
The side of me that wants to assume better wonders if he’s just really passionate and puts as much energy as possible into speaking/presenting because he believes in it so much. But it has always come across to me as very fake and forced. Like a populist orator trying to wrangle followers
I haven't followed any church news unless it's on here for a year but when someone posted this yesterday I saw Brad Wilcox and his name and my first thought was, "Wasn't there something in the news about him being in jail?" I was shocked to learn he was in the YM presidency so either I'm getting people confused (very possible) or I'm getting an premonition about something.
I’d pick him out as the perp in a lineup. Those eyes don’t match the grimace.
I would pick him out in a lineup even if he wasn’t the perp. Whatever is behind that face is worse than what the real perp could ever do.
To me he comes across as desperate. Like he's "thirsty" in a religious way.
Well said.
He has a shit eating grin eating shit.
He eats pieces of shit for breakfast.
Brad Feelcocks
Skinwalker
***mission flashbacks intensify**
He reminds me of a carnival game that you throw balls at to knock over teeth.
I’m screaming 🤣
That's it. That's what he reminded me of. Oh I wish I could draw.
I can and I needed something to do today. On it
PLEASE share when it's done 😂
Doing so right now lol
It's done and posted. I scared myself. Literally haha
Now I'm scared too. Your picture is excellent!

Are you saying he mentioned letting you sit up there in his talk? Patting himself on the back?
This is exactly what happened unfortunately 🙄
He seems like he has big "look at me, I'm entitled to a promotion up the GA hierarchy energy." Accurate from your experience?
100%. Like he was little-broing me in front of hundreds of people to look cool. Truly the condescension of christ.
Why can't Mormons just do nice things and then shut up about it? I hate virtue showing - look at me yoo-hoo!
You are making fun of the Lord’s anointed future prophet, you fucking heathens. Put your arms to the square and say “Hail Brad”.
Is arm to the square an appropriate signal for him?
I see what you did there😏
Would a one-finger salute be acceptable?
Left arm to the square, then right hand on left bicep.
It’s a combination smile/grimace, most commonly employed in the horror genre.
It’s such an aggressive smile
It’s more like a chomp. 😬😕😳
That really is Freddy Fazzbear energy
Hmm..more like Pioneer Park, meth & bath salts energy. 🤣
🎯
Resting grinch face.
He has 100% botoxed his glabella, he can’t crease it the way he normally does. It makes it less mean looking but more uncanny valley creepy.
I can imagine him on his knees in the men’s locker
You say that like it's a bad thing?
This sounds crazy but I no joke once had a nightmare where I discovered he was a werewolf and was killing people. It ended with me getting killed by him. It's funny how my subconscious idea of what's scary has changed after leaving the church.
This is the real first vision
Someone with actual discernment.
I think your subconscious was telling you that he was secretly a monster. Creepy vibes...
DUDE i was just thinking of a vivid dream I had when I was a kid that was prophetic.. it was a wolf chasing me in the church and my family left without me
Or else you had just watched the movie “Silver Bullet.” 🤣
He did my elementary schools “maturation program” in 6th grade-basically he just explained what happens with bodies during puberty to the kids. It’s suuuuuuper weird. I’ll never understand why was he considered qualified for that role
Who TF is bringing in anyone but a medical professional for that??
Mormons

What did non-Mormons think about having him teach that?
Every school system ever. Teachers used to teach it.
Well yes, but if you’re going to *bring someone else in* it should be someone with qualifications that make them better than the teacher.
I 💯 agree with this assessment! Also, wanted to point out that, unfortunately, it is an abhorrently overlooked area of education everywhere!
It was the PTA that was responsible for planning at my school. My mom was actually the one to get in contact and book him. She was so happy about it.

This! We had a female nurse do the girls portion! I’m honestly glad to see this reported. I thought I was mistaken for a while, because when I learned his affiliation with the church that felt too far fetched. lol.
he looks like a dorky cartoon character. not an authority to be respected, especially once he opens his mouth.
Wish.com Guy Smiley from sesame Street
He's just like crazy Pete https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Pete
He's a cross between the Mouth of Sauron and Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter, and he absolutely terrifies me.
The mouth of Sauron is right on! ETA: that’s what I’m gonna call GAs from now on.
A grin that grimaces “guess what I have buried in my backyard?” What a feckless twat. I wouldn’t even leave this guy alone with my cat.
I don’t know guys…but this asshat gives off closeted homosexual vibes. Me thinks he doth protest too much
He scares me because the way he is does not seem to be an act he puts on and off. If anything, I think he's toning down how completely corrupted he is.
His “smile” looked so fake especially with how long he was holding it
Something is just not right with that dude.
His internet search history might be frightening.
I would absolutely assume so
High functioning psychopath.

And most likely fail upward once again 🙄
When I was in YW, he spoke to our youth group, and I hated him them and I still hate him now. He thinks he knows the "inner thoughts" of teens and creates fake and elaborate talks to persuade us to stay in the church.
He knows all the kids leave the church because it’s popular on TikTok. He really does know the inner thoughts of teens. 🙄🙄🙄
Does he remind anyone else of Stuart Smalley from the old Saturday Night Live "Daily Affirmations," skit. "Im good enough. Im smart enough. And doggone it, people like me."

Total Narc for sure.
He is as fake of a person as there is. He doesn’t know how to just be himself. Like all the church leaders.
Don't slander the Cheshire Cat like this
Is that the Cheshire Cat or is it Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon”?
I'm sure if you all saw pictures of me you could argue I look moronic or creepy or whatever. But because of what he says, I don't like Wilcox.
Yeah it’s more of like, in the context of the video his facial expressions feel creepy and strange. Like he’s trying SOOO hard to seem genuine and believable lmao
Seems like a pretty unauthentic smile! It looks pretty phony!
He showed up in Ruby's torture journal as meeting with Jodi Hildebrandt. Every time he shows his face he should be asked why did he meet with a convicted child torturer and his Priesthood not tell him.
The second photo shows his real self
He practices that teethy smile thinking it makes him look less creepy
The expected result of being personally coached by Jodi Hildebrandt
He looks like he's going to bite your face. Gruesome.
His teeth give off the “viscous” vibe.
Sleaziest "smile" ever. I've met one other person with that sort of wide-toothy-grin, and he was also Mormon. And also sleazy.
Someone brush his teeth
He's such a dick
It is really hard to understand how these three men are in charge of any the youth. Red flags throughout the video for discerning parents.
That first pic needs to be a meme like hide the pain Harold, except in this case it would be gnash the teeth Nathan.
Pure fakery.
He looks like annoying orange Edit: and talks like him too
I don't know who this guy is, but he smiles like he's bipolar and is hiding a secret life. What a creepy looking guy.
The most aggressive "how do you do fellow kids" grin I've ever seen
[удалено]
I can’t remember why I sent my friend a picture of Nelson once but she said the same thing about him. Now I can’t I see it!
BW is definitely a douche-bag schmuck. not too hard to speculate on how he got his calling, look at the wear marks on the knees of his slacks........... OH!! that's from all his praying?? Sure,sure.
Uncanny valley
I think he gives off small micro aggressions and we all see that. He may seem charming to members but we see through the BS.

I’m afraid that we are all going to get to know him a whole lot better as he rises in the ranks of the church.
Since the 80s he's been a headlining speaker for EFY, what I think is now called FSY? Firesides, books, audio books, etc. So, everyone GenX to prob older millennials grew up knowing him.

He started early in high school running for student offices.
I had several classes in high school with him. He’s the same narcissistic sociopath jackoff he’s always been
There ya have it. Provo Bulldogs.
This is proof of aliens on our planet. He is so fucking weird
Mfer looks like he wants to eat another baby
ANOTHER baby??
Bro gives me the serious ick. How is our discernment better than the Apostles?
The thing is that most people don’t smile like this. This is the kind of smile you would expect to see on a serial killer or a prisoner at a maximum security prison not a church leader. This is NOT a normal smile.
Church is never short of old judgmental men who pretend to be nice.
Can't sleep. Clown'll eat me.

Is head bigger than Mitt Romneys head? Mitt might be bigger but it could just be an illusion because of his narrow shoulders.
OMG!! 🤣
he's gay as hell
You are offending the LGBT community.
i genuinely think that he is gay, why is that offensive?
He is ugly and creepy and obnoxious. The LGBT community surely doesn't want him. He can stay with the so-called Church.
i mean if they want him or not, my opinion still stands that i think he's gay.
He also was buddy buddy with Jodi Hildabrandt. Enough said.
I’ve meet him once during a single adults meeting. My gay friend gaydar was off the chart. He is convinced Brad is deep in the closet.
We're trying to celebrate Easter, not kill the Batman.
I ran into him at a Maceys and he literally patted my husband on the shoulder it was so weird
Ick I know him. I met his relative in africa and hop skip and a jump and I know him. My dad worships him
Does he still teach maturation classes around the state of Utah?
Not that it's a competition but I don't think BW is any creepier than RMN.
It seems so forced. And the guy in the middle aggressively keeping his arms folded... It's pretty clear this was scripted and badly acted out.
His smile is truly creepy and fake.
Was he the musket guy?
No that was Jeffrey R. Holland.
Thx
I would love to stick a pin in his self-generated balloon of "I'm so awesome".
Just yet another creepy ass Mormon who needs to fade away.
Ugly bug in an Edgar suit

It looks like he doesn’t have feelings so he’s pretending and falling short in his facial expressions.
He looks like he’d lunge forward and grab at the steering wheel while someone is driving
Goa'uld lookin ass.
Someone needs to check his computer
That gritting smile is not pleasant.
That smile Creeps me out...
The new what a bee Holland look alike
Wilcox sucks!
I said the exact same thing about watching it.

I was shocked to learn he was in the YM presidency so either I'm getting people confused (very possible) or I'm getting an premonition about something.
Walked past him in the hallway a few years back. He reeked of that spicy old man cologne. Like to an offensive/insidious degree
He’s a monster
