New Apostle Sustained

Post by _consiglieri »

Was it just me, or did President Eyring actually say R. Todd Christofferson during the sustaining session of General Conference?

And did everybody lift up hands to sustain this new apostle?

Maybe this is why President Eyring later gave the message that God picks the leaders, and God never gets anything wrong.

If true, does this mean D Todd Christofferson hasn’t been sustained?

Does this mean we now have a gay apostle?

I think he said Our Todd Christofferson. You know, instead of the other one.

If he was reading off of a teleprompter, maybe his eye sight isn't as good and the D looked like an R to him.

Since we know that people only leave the church over stupid stuff, like Joseph Smith misspelling a guys name, we should expect a bunch of resignations over this error.

Maybe Eyring was punishing him for having a gay brother?

It is proposed that we sustain Russell Marion Nelson as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the following as members of that Quorum: Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks, M. Russell Ballard, Robert D. Hales, Jeffrey R. Holland, David A. Bednar, Quentin L. Cook, D. Todd Christofferson, Neil L. Andersen, Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson, and Dale G. Renlund.

Interesting that they chose to correct the error without citation when producing the transcript.
