The most ridiculous Apostle? That is a hard call. I do think Jeffry has a extreme case of cog dis that is coming out in weird ways.

Nelson? Oaks? Ballard? Holland?

This one might be right up Don Bradley's alley since he's such a fantastic Mormon historian. Maybe he can give us a breakdown on each apostle's ridiculousness and demonstrate why God continues to use one over another?

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

While on the subject of Mormon Apostles, you might be interested to know that a discussion arose on CARM forums on this subject to which I responded, and eventually ended up posting a message about it on my blog. Here is a link to the thread on CARM:

I find the Book of Mormon much more interesting to read.
