Here we go:
1 – Joseph Smith vs. 3 – Bruce R. McConkie
10 – Tithing and Consecration vs. 12 – Saving Ordinances
1 – The Book of Mormon vs. 3 – The Doctrine and Covenants
10 – The Relief Society vs. 12 – The Young Men’s Program
Please vote and comment below.
To my mind, these divide along lines regarding what is important to the individual versus what is important to the institution. In my case, the individual won three out of four.
My votes:
Joseph Smith
Saving Ordinances
The Book of Mormon
Relief Society
We finally agree John, right down the line. It seems to me that there are going to be more blowouts here than in previous rounds.
What Eric said.
Ah, but do you know which was my institutional pick?
John, you non-woman, I’d guess it was the Relief Society…
Finally. Not to be too negative or biased but I am glad to see Elder McConkie finally go down.
I don’t know why everyone is voting the Relief Society over the Young Men’s program. Relief Society seems relatively low-content, sadly enough.
Perhaps RS isn’t high in content (though I would argue more than the Young Men’s program), it does more work than any other organization, in my oppinion.
The one I can’t figure out is the preference for saving ordinances. I’m not sure I even know what the phrase means in any detail.
Ordinances necessary for salvation and the authority necessary to perform them. aka my institutional pick
also, I ditto J’s RS statement
