Don't make yourself scarce, Runtu. You're way too much fun to have around.

Hmmm...I'm a High Priest. I wish it read "High Priestess". LOL

As of this writing, here's how the rest of us break down who have not yet received our exaltation:

2nd Quorum of Seventy: 2
Area Representatives: 2
Bishops: 2
1st Counselors: 1
2nd Counselors: 4
High Priests: 2
Elders: 2
Priests: 4
Teachers: 3
Valiant B: 1
Valiant A: 1
CTR B: 1
CTR A: 3
Star B: 2
Star A: 1
Sunbeam: 12
Nursery: 67
Pre-Existence: 15

We only have a short time to prepare for the eternities. Let's all lengthen our stride!


OK, I'm confused.

Is this based on the number of posts?

And where does the symbolism come from? I know I'm classed as a Sunbeam, but what does that mean?

We could not wish for a better God. Well done!

It's the rank structure of the LDS church, especially the Priesthood rank structure.

Hey, Shades...Can you change my rank to read "High Priestess" and not move up into the rest of the "godhood" structure? I think that would be a cool permenant title. LOL

If it's too much work, don't worry about it.

On the old board I had reached priest +/-. I guess since I wanted to sin and chose to be offended by the brethren and sisteren, I must participate in the repentance process. Hence, still in the nursery.
