	Quorum of the Twelve Apostles - MormonWiki - Mormonism - the LDS Church, Beliefs & Religion
		The title Quorum of the Twelve is the scriptural designation for the group, which is sometimes referred to as the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Council of the Twelve, the Twelve Apostles, or simply as the Twelve.
		Mormons believe that this group is identical in organization and authority to the group of the same name that was organized by the Savior when He was on the earth.
		In January 1841 Brigham Young was appointed as President of the Quorum of the Twelve, and in March 1844 Joseph Smith conferred on the quorum all of the ordinances, keys, and authority that he possessed.

	Mormonism and the American Mainstream - The Nineteenth Century - Divining America: Religion and the National Culture
		When Mormonism, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as it came to be officially designated, first emerged on the religious scene in 1830, it was simply one of the many, often short-lived, new religious groups born amidst the spiritual ferment of mid-nineteenth-century America.
		Equally important is Mormonism's complex and embattled relation to both the society from which it emerged and to the evangelicalism that was such a dominant force in the society.
		Finally, with the promulgation of its doctrine of plural marriage, Mormonism threatened to undermine the conventional institution of monogamy that "mainstream" America increasingly envisioned as a central bulwark against immorality and the principal agency for the control of sexuality.

	Priest (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Young men who reach the age of 16 are integrated into the priest quorum.
		A priest quorum can have up to 48 members, so priest quorums are rarely split, even in the largest wards.
		The president of the priest quorum is the bishop and he holds the keys of the priesthood for this quorum.

	The Watchman Expositor: Residual Racism in Modern Mormonism
		Both Mormons and critics of Mormonism were surprised to read in the May 18, 1998 Los Angeles Times that Mormon Church leaders were seriously considering public repudiation of long standing Mormon doctrine on the spiritual inferiority of fls of African descent.
		Mormon leaders, however, claim direct, ongoing, day-by-day revelation to their prophets and apostles for the teaching and guidance of their church.
		Mormons today, if they acknowledge the doctrine was ever taught, like to dismiss it as a quirky opinion of Brigham Young, and not the doctrine of the Church.

	Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
		Twelve men ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood office of apostle constitute the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the second-highest presiding quorum in the government of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		The designation Quorum of the Twelve is the scriptural title and the formal name used by the First Presidency in presenting the Twelve to Church members for their sustaining vote.
		When a new appointment to the Quorum is to be announced (usually at a general conference), a member of the First Presidency presents the names of General Authorities, including the new apostle, and other general Church officers to be sustained by Church members.

		I was Deacon's quorum president, Teacher's quorum president, and the leader in the Priest's quorum.
		A few years after that I was officially excommunicated for speaking publicly against Mormonism in a variety of Christian churches (though it was actually I, myself, who asked to have my name removed from their records).

	Wiccans
		On May 3, 1978 Joseph's idea of the anointed quorum was dealt a final death blow when the First Presidency announced that all prayer circles except those conducted as part of the endowment ceremony in the temples were to be immediately discontinued.
		The Toscanos concur and state that many Mormons look back to those days as a kind of spiritual renaissance and long for the restoration of the peculiar blessings that are the province of the annointed quorum.
		Mormon scripture's most detailed view of the premortal world did not differentiate between men and women in the forechoosing to authority - Abraham 3:22-23...females are among 'all' God's intelligences and spirits who were noble, good, and forechosen (or foreordained) to be leaders and to receive authority.

	reform mormonism - practical application
		Suggestions for liturgy and ritual, based upon Mormon tradition and ideas, but incorporating new ideas for our day, are offered as assistance to daily life and family practice, but their invocation and ongoing use are not considered required, essential, or indicative of righteousness, as might be the observation in other traditions and religions.
		Reform Mormons can be as comfortable in a Catholic mass or reciting Jewish prayers in a synagogue or enjoying a gospel choir in a Baptist service or chanting prayers in a Buddhist temple as they are conducting their own traditional rituals.
		It also fully engages the Reform Mormon tenet and concept of individual responsibility and accountability — this approach forces a dramatic shift of responsibility for the welfare of the individual from the church or organization to the individual themselves.

	Where Do You Get Your Authority? Examining the Priesthood and Apostolic Offices
		Claus, a Mormon from Sweden, wrote to us and asked, “Who has been authorized to change the calling of 12 apostles as a foundation of the Church of Christ?” This is a fairly typical question from a Latter-day Saint.
		It is vitally important to the Mormons that their church, like the first century church, is built on a body of twelve apostles.
		Mormons believe that the “keys of the kingdom”, which were given by Jesus to His apostles (Matthew 16:19), represent the priesthood authority.

	Mormonism
		The term Mormonism describes the Christian religious, cultural, and institutional tradition associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is the official designation of the religion "established on April 6, 1830, at Fayette, New York, under the direction of the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr."
		Nonmembers of the Church often designate members of the Church as Mormons, but members of the Church typically refer to themselves as Latter-day Saints, with LDS being an abbreviated adjective applying to things associated with their distinctive world view (e.g., LDS morality standards).
		We discourage referring to the Church as ‘The Mormon Church,’ ‘The Latter-day Saints Church’ or ‘The LDS Church.’ When referring to Church members, we suggest ‘members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.’ As a shortened reference, ‘Latter-day Saints’ is preferred, but ‘Mormons’ is acceptable.

	High Councils
		A member of the Quorum of the Twelve is selected by the First Presidency, which may consider several candidates.

		The date on which a person becomes a member of the Quorum (usually the date he is sustained as an apostle) establishes his position of seniority in the Quorum relative to other quorum members.

		The number of areas and quorums will certainly increase as the years pass and the work intensifies, but the organization is now in place to keep the administration of the Church close to the prophets, seers, and revelators whom the Lord has called to direct the work.

		In the past, I have suggested that the Mormon constitution is English, but of late I have wondered whether it might be Roman.
		Furthermore, in contrast to Mormonism, where high offices are frequently held for life, the Romans liked their magistrates to have short, one-year terms of office with no chance for re-election without a lengthy waiting period.
		The Quorum of the Twelve is also instituted by God and is the oldest continuing body of the Church.

	MORMONISM AND BLOOD ATONEMENT
		We found out what Mormonism teaches regarding the temple, as that being the heart of the gospel, but I think that what you've got in Mormonism is a warped understanding of the true doctrine of blood atonement.
		I want to show that the Mormon church itself recognizes the separation, and that separation, Jim, other than the business about being the brother of Lucifer, Mary, all that sort of stuff, it all boils down to the simplicity of the doctrine of Christ, which is the doctrine of blood atonement.
		This is the whole essence of the difference between the Jesus Christ of Mormonism and the Jesus Christ of Christianity.

		The men so designated are then sustained by the "common consent" of Latter-day Saints who raise their right hands in affirmation during a general conference of the church, the next of which is scheduled the first weekend in October.
		The procedure for succession was established after the death of church founder and the faith's first president, Joseph Smith, in 1844, after a dispute arose as to who would then lead the church.

	Priesthood
		Priesthood in Mormonism refers to the power to act in God’s name, not to the clergy or religious authorities themselves.
		After the deaths of the Apostles whose deeds are recorded in the New Testament, the priesthood was taken from the earth and man lost the necessary authority to perform ordinances like baptism.
		The deacons’, teachers’, and priests’ quorums all hold the Aaronic Priesthood and they are in charge of ordinances like the sacrament and baptism.

	Tungate Evolution - LDS
		However, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve have issued five statements on the topic, the last four of them stating neutrality (the first was a long discourse, and somewhat ambiguous on the exact topic at hand).
		It is also of some interest that the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve published and copyrighted a pro-evolutionary pamphlet written by James E. Talmage, and this stands as the only church publication on the topic.
		With regards to the Encyclopedia of Mormonism article on evolution, its author William Evenson reports that the Church's review committee (which included members of the Quorum of the Twelve), considered and rejected three much longer earlier drafts, two of which were rather negative towards evolution.

	A Major Defect in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism article about Evolution
		The sentence is actually quoted three times in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, the other two being reprints of the original two First Presidency statements cited by Evenson and in both of these cases the phrase is quoted correctly (see vol.
		Surprisingly, William E. Evenson, who authored the Encyclopedia of Mormonism article, has also since recognized that the opinions in the manuscript were "not those of an evolutionist" and the discussions "were not centered on the scientific theories of origins of life forms.
		Quoting the 1931 First Presidency in context as current and authoritative on the subject of death before the fall doesn't work either because the creatures that were being discussed as having lived and died for millions of years before the fall were not the evolutionary forefathers of any creatures that inhabit the earth today.

	What Do Mormonism's Alleged "Prophets, Seers and Revelators" Really Know?:
		A question often asked by those re-examining their Mormon faith is whether the General Authorities of the LDS Church genuinely believe the Church is true.
		Clearly, whatever confidence Kimball had in the truthfulness of Mormonism was not always based on official Mormon positions enunciated by the Presidents of the Church, some of which he admitted to me he knew nothing.
		It kills me how Mormon "apostles" can't firmly state specific positions on any thing, are very vague about the source of their "testimonies" and what's more, constantly defer to their "underlings" or Bishops as a scapegoat when they don't want to deal with member questions.

	Signature Books -- Conflict in the Quorum: Orson Pratt, Brigham Young, Joseph Smith
		At a meeting of the LDS Quorum of the Twelve in 1860, one of the church's senior apostles, Elder Heber C. Kimball, complained that "Brother Orson Pratt has withstood Joseph [Smith] and he has withstood Brother Brigham [Young] many times and he has done it tonight and it made my blood chill.
		Whenever the quorum discussed Elder Pratt's controversial sermons and writings and his streak of independent thinking, the conversation could become heated.
		As documented by Gary James Bergera in this surprisingly suspenseful account, Pratt's encounters with his brethren ultimately affected not only his seniority in the Quorum of the Twelve but also had a lasting impact on LDS doctrine, policy, and organizational structure.

	About Mormonism and Freemasonry
		The Mormons refused to be restrained, and the Grand Lodge withdrew all authority from the Mormon lodges—an act which may explain why, when two Master Masons, Joseph and Hyrum Smith, were killed in Carthage, Illinois, Joseph’s Masonic cry of distress went unanswered by the Masons crowded outside the jail.
		As the Mormons left Nauvoo, they found ready aid from Masons in Iowa who were willing to ignore the directives of the Grand Lodge of Illinois.
		Parallels between the two institutions are many, including degrees of glory, sacred treasures hidden in the earth, the exaltation of mankind in the presence of deity, interest in ancient Egypt and Israel, emphasis on the creative role of a supreme being, symbolic clothing, and secret means of recognition.
