Windseeker Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's sad. I always really enjoyed him. He reminded me of Mr Rogers with his kind, gentle and instructive manor. He'll be missed. hagoth and Sunday21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiterateParakeet Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 1906, I believe. Wow, how did you know that?! Someone on Facebook said, (I haven't verified it) 1906. Cowley and Taylor were removed from the quorum for practicing polygamy and Marriner Merrill died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 The last time the Quorum of the Twelve had this many vacancies was in 1906 after the death of Elder Marriner W. Merrill and the resignations of Elder John W. Taylor and Elder Matthias F. Cowley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Average Joe Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Ahhh, that is sad to me. My goodness it has been a tough year. The remainder of the quorum of the 12 have been carrying a heavier load due to issues of health and death of their brethren lagarthaaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagarthaaz Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I enjoyed reading this from the lds.org Newsroom: To him there was no conflict between religion and science, but a perfect harmony that further strengthened his testimony of a Supreme Being. “Science is completely compatible with the teachings of why we’re here. And while there are some things that I don’t fully understand, I know I will. ... I just marvel at how the scientific approach has allowed us to understand a lot of things about Father in Heaven’s universe and His work and people that are complementary to the religious principles.”... Elder Scott spent his life in the pursuit of truth. He had the mind of a scientist but the soul of an apostle of God. He bore testimony that while scientific truths are relative, God’s truths are absolute and will ultimately bring joy to those who follow them. “I think [with] a life centered in truth, with values that are held and kept, and a recognition that we are not all alone, we can receive guidance from the Lord through the Holy Ghost. That is the core of happiness.” The photo montage the Newsroom put up is lovely - I shed a few tears. Vort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 From what I read they aren't sure if a third apostle will be called by General Conf ....we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Small_Voice Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I liked the talks Elder Richard Scott gave. I used information one not too long ago about receiving revelation. Likely he is in the paradise of God with his lovely wife now and in the company of other saints that have also died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
