@BenBird53920553 John being alive ≠ priesthood keys remaining institutionally.
LDS doctrine says John’s mission wasn’t to publicly lead the Church or preserve apostolic succession, so a restoration through Joseph Smith was still necessary.
@LDSLaw 1996: Dole

@ArkFan247@WayneHawg@mratcliff57 @BuzzJohnNabors Not broke, quite the contrary. And I got that way by not making bad investments with my money. And to drive my point home, when you include UT and OU. We’re now out recruiting just Vandy. Go ahead keep blowing your money, I’m just not interested.
@ArkFan247@WayneHawg@mratcliff57 @BuzzJohnNabors And that amount of money that the Athletic Dept is willing to spend is a direct correlation to the product they see on the field. So when they ask me to “donate” even more for the betterment of the program. Sorry, not interested. Mediocrity continues to breed mediocrity.
@ArkFan247@WayneHawg@mratcliff57 @BuzzJohnNabors There are lots of issues with football. From recruiting disadvantages, to a lack of big money donors. People can complain all they want, but the 10th largest recruiting budget and the 10th largest coaching budget will most likely lead to the 10th best program.
