Dang. Sorry about this topic. I was in a mood today. I still think it's odd that someone decided to order the list not chronologically, but rather by first name. I gave too much importance to a nothing burger. With ketchup on the topside and mustard on the bottom side of the buns. Because who does that?

If we did that, only these 4 men would be on the screen:

Joseph Smith
Brigham Young
John Taylor
Wilford Woodruff


Can anyone prove me wrong?
I suspect it would be an even shorter list if we listed them according to how many times the Lord actually spoke through them. :)

If they don't make the list, were they really prophets?

Not according to Elder Hugh B. Brown of the quorum of the twelve apostles.

That is an excellent talk. I would suggest that anyone speaking in church this month or next use it as a guide.

Wait, I thought Brigham was a self-proclaimed "yankee guesser" who never had a beyond the veil experience - or so he said 3 weeks before he died. So when/why did Brigham say "Thus saith the Lord"?

I suspect the 'aw shucks' routine was to pretend at false modesty, but that he was 'thus saith the Lord' ordering girls into his bed at the drop of a hat... :)

Well folks, searching the church website in Portuguese is in order of ordination. I hope they don't decide to move around here...

That should be the proper setup, of course. Hopefully it stays that way👍

Seems to be the Nelsonite Paradigm: juggle everything around and/or rename it.
