It is also difficult to figure out how “early church humanity” become taught as eternal truths that we must live by today, in today’s society with today’s circumstances.Quote:(Here goes again): If I were President I would choose new Quorum members that were no older than Joseph Smith. i.e. 39 years old; at least for the next 6 choices.
Blurg. As much as I don’t love some of the pitfalls of taking counsel from octogenarians (especially as regards resistance to change and their social mores being decades removed from my own), I’m not ready to hand the reins over to a bunch of young whippersnapper, flibberdegibbets who are at the beginning stages of mid-life crisis! Especially since the pool of candidates is always going to be true blue TBMs with unquestioned and unquestioning loyalty, better an old dude who has mellowed with age and been there done that than one still in the first fiery stages of fanaticism and devotion.

Fwiw, I like the current general age plan – start around 50-60 after maturity has finally settled in, the kids have left the house and your wife has gone through menopause. 😈 Quote:Blurg.
