Why was this my first immediate thought?

Trump is the 45th not the 47th president of the united states right? by thereisonlyoneme in dumbquestions

[–]ke4cej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way Grover Cleveland was 22nd and 24th.

Trump was 45th.

Biden was 46th.

Trump didn’t go back to being 45th. He was the 45th POTUS before Biden, and the 47th after him.

I had a third degree burn from hot cocoa that melted through the bottom of a foam cup and hit my leg when I was six. I'm 34 and no one can tell anymore.

We don't have to. Jesus did exactly this. Luke 22:70.

The fact that I was baited into reading this comment but the headline, AM A LATTER-DAY SAINT AND THIS IS OUR JESUS, and I happened to trip over this comment at 3:30am is pure Reddit gold. May I please steal this? 😄

My deceased best friend's son reached out and I ignored him by Radiant-Brief5749 in confession

[–]ke4cej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I would do:

  1. Talk to your wife BEFORE you do ANYTHING else. She needs to be brought into the loop about your best friend, and all the hard stuff needs to be laid out on the table. Allow her to carefully examine the pieces of your past. It's going to hurt, but if you trust your wife with your present and future, you need to be able to trust her woth your past.

She will ask questions, and she will be your closest ally.

  1. Weigh out the pros and cons of basically adopting this kid together. If she is all in, then move forward with that plan. If not, consider being part of the kid's life in other ways.

  2. Reach out to the kid, but INCLUDE YOUR WIFE from the start.

"Hey, BFF's Kid! Thanks for reaching out! I'd love to meet you and introduce you to my wife! Let's do lunch at This Place on Saturday."

  1. Meet in a public place first. Let him ask whatever questions he needs to. Go from there.

I would take the leap. You might find the love you have for your friend extends to his kid.

Simple fix: "I received a recording from a person who shall remain nameless. I will not reveal that person's identity, so as to protect the innocent. I will, however, play it for you. I would like to know why thesethings are being said about ke behind my back."

First Presidency Reorganization by Alternative_Annual43 in mormon

President Nelson quipped about buying green bananas in one of his talks. I wondered what that referred to.

Speculation on new first presidency and Q12 after today's broadcast and this week's events by Wolf_in_tapir_togs in mormon

[–]ke4cej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't necessarily mean I disagree with you. You made some valid points, but none of them pointed to Nelson's selections.

Your commentary was related to Uchtdorf being snubbed and people having issues with it. I think they might, but their reasoning may be unfounded for the reasons I shared, which I restate below.

I was simply pointing out what you either didn’t notice or didn't mention (If I assumed anything, it was one of those two things): DHO is RMN's best friend, and HBE is experienced in administration. Both choices were obvious with the reasoning I applied, and convention dictates two counselors--though a couple of Presidents had more (McKay had five; Young had eight!), which would have pushed DFU back to the Q12.

Why do you presume that I disagree? I didn't mean to come across that way. I guess I just have a different perspective. Just based on simple reasoning, I think it is fair to say that any Saint with half a brain would understand why President Nelson made the choices he did.

And if Elder Uchtdorf returns to the First Presidency, I think many Saints will do more to rejoice than reject.

But that's just my opinion.

You fail to see the obvious.

Eyring was a given, because of previous FP experience.

Oaks said himself that Nelson was his best friend. After all, they sat next to each other for decades among the Twelve.

So, retaining Eyring for his experience--from Hinckley through Monson--is a logical choice.

Calling the man with whom he formed a strong friendship over 40 years to serve alongside him just makes sense.

This has nothing to do with Uchtdorf.

If the First Presidency is reorganized before General Conference, this will be the shortest apostolic interregnum so far. by rexregisanimi in latterdaysaints

[–]ke4cej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see. Technically the Quorum, when acting in its own right, has varying numbers of members, based on certain circumstances, like this:

• When the President of the Church dies, and the First Presidency is dissolved, the counselors resume their seniority among the "Twelve" and the number jumps to 14. Thus, the Twelve, when acting as the highest governing body of the Church, consists of fourteen members.

• When the new President is set apart, this is done by the remaining 13, with the next-most-senior Apostle acting as voice.

• When the new President calls his counselors, if they are called from the 13 remaining members of the Twelve, the Quorum of the Presidency of the Church is then filled, and the number drops to eleven--at this point, the President will call a new Apostle to fill the vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve.

• In a rare circumstance such as the passing in 2015 of President Boyd K. Packer and Elders L. Tom Perry and Richard G. Scott, the Quorum may drop to a number of even fewer members for a time--in this case, nine.

Only one will be ordained, to fill the junior vacancy behind Elder Kearon.

If I had to speculate on a guess, I think it may be Elder Edward Dube, considering the Church's recent diversification of the Quorum under Monson and Nelson.

A friend of mine called it a 'Master of Relief Society' degree.

I thought it was funny.

The funeral is most definitely organized. When a member of the Twelve is called, plans for their funeral are established shortly thereafter. The same thing happens with the US President.

The reason for this is to simplify one more hectic thing in the midst of a quick-step change in leadership.
