No, blowhard will do to describe you. And you are indeed first among equals. I guess that means we are both first-class in our category.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

I've got family in vernal. It's a nice place but I wouldn't want to live there.Originally posted by edward777 View PostHello. I would like to make an introduction of sorts
I am LDS, have lived in Utah (Vernal) for a year and am originally from the pacific Northwest. I am married, have 8 kids, and am a high priest. However, I may at times come across a bit unconventional (liberal on some issues, libertarian on some issues, and conservative on others). My main philosophical bent? Question authority anytime, anywhere."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

No way would any apostle's wife use birth control to purposefully limit the number of kids she's having, so it must be "toxins" in the environment. Nice.Comment

I would go so far as to argue that having more than 3 children nowadays could interfere with one's ability to become a big-time church leader.
In fact, within 20-30 years, I think there will no longer will be apostles with more than 3 children and there will be some apostles with only 1 child.That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C. Hitchens

Well, there is evidence that testosterone levels in the general US and British male population is declining, so along with that there would be a decline in fertility. Then add to this males in more stressful environments and one could speculate that this could send males with lower testosterone levels anyway into virtual sterility.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostComment

Yeah, but the statistical chance of ever being an apostle is about as great as being voted most valuable player in the NFL.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment
