Common consent middle finger?

Post by Dr Moore »

Nelson was set apart before churchwide sustaining as president. People looked the other way because, hey, he’d already been sustained as PSR and all. It was established procedure.

But now they’re calling and ordaining apostles before churchwide sustaining?

Common consent, meet Nelson’s middle finger.

No, they aren’t.

The church handbook is very clear that bishops and stake presidents must be sustained before being ordained.

Rules for thee, not for me?

President usually happens after death and with the succession well in order it hardly seems to await the next conference. At least going to Wikipedia and seeing when presidents of the church started the dates are not that close to conference. However usually the calling of apostles awaits the next conference. Though Holland was called in June by Hunter. Then you have to go back Ashton in 1971 to get another clearly not at conference calling.
