Another thought. Why would God put in place a system where half of the time the prophet is senile? It happened with George Albert Smith, David O. McKay, Spencer W.

Certainly, with the issues facing the world right now, God's spokesman should be at the top of his game rather than talking to imaginary friends and spilling his oatmeal all over his white shirt and tie.

I have thought of this from time to time as well.
Plus, what about the prophets who weren't legally certified senile, but who have certainly acted like it, like Hinckley.
All the faith talks in the world cannot justify having a leader who is not at the top of his game.
It's like putting a person through to the olympics who couldn't qualify for the preliminaries.
The more and more I consider it the more I realize that the Mormon version of God is not the brightest light in the room.

Packer would be a great president. I would love to see this happen. I am sure his heavy handed approach to how the gospel needs to be lived would embarrass the church in ways that I haven't even though of yet. If they hurry, they could get this done before the elections in November.


I am praying that Monson will be taken so that the Lord's annointed spokesman, even Boyd K. Packer, can lead the church in righteousness and embarass the hell out of Mitt Romney.

On a different note, if Packer becomes CEO, his heavy handed approach would result in the church hemorrhaging even more members. Even my stalwart TBM parents are concerned about Pakcer taking over and being out of control. At some point, most members would start askign themselves with 7 billion people on the planet why did God pick this guy and allow him to rise to the top? Is this some sort of sick joke? God could certainly find someone better than an old cranky fart like Packer.

Wait ... Isn't talking to his imaginary friend what he's there for? That and leading us to believe that said imaginary friend talks back.
