Comment on 173rd anniversary of dedication of Kirtland Temple by Ted Rigdon

Ted Rigdon — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:30:41 +0000

I too have traveled to the first Mormon temple in Ohio at the promting of my ancestor Sidney Rigdon. Sidney was highly instrumental in the building of this temple but hardly a mention is ever made of him. At some point the church needs to put aside the bad blood and be forthright about the undeniable contribution Brother Rigdon gave to the early church. How dare he attempt to lead the church upon the untimely death of Joseph. There was no stopping the polygamy loving Young and his band of followers. Dig deeper into the dedication service for the Kirtland Temple. Interesting how Sidney delivered the 2 1/2 hour dedicatory sermon that day in 1836. We are fast approaching the time when the light will be shone fiercely on this whole Mormon affair. We await the day.

I loved it when, on a mission a few years ago, we would get phone calls asking for Mr. Hinckley. We’d finally just say …He’s not here right now. Can I give him your name with a message? Telemarketers never do that for some reason.

Comment on The temple recommend of a prophet, seer and revelator by Graham

So that brings up other questions:

Who signs the GA recommends?
GAs do NOT serve for life. 2nd Quorum of the Seventy members serve for around 5 years. Even 1st Quorum-ers eventually get made emeritus. What happens when they are no longer active in the calling?
What about Area Authorities?

The GA recommends also have no expiration date and they’re laminated.

I wonder if Elder Hilbig wrote his prayer ahead of time and simply read it – kind of like what is done with certain dedicatory prayers. Just a thought . . .

Any comments?

Thanks. I hadn’t noticed that (since my own eyes were closed). I just rewatched it. It seemed that he was reading something and then kept looking up to make eye contact with the congregation. I don’t know if there was a bit of a murmur or laugh from the crowd, but as President Eyring stood up, he had a smirk on his face.
