IIRC, “Peter Priesthood” is the typical returned mishie now elevated to the Melchizedek priesthood & accorded the title of “Elder” at age 22, usually.
Ideally, he quickly marries “Molly Mormon” & they start having children so that `premortal’ souls may acquire living bodies.

Does anyone else wonder at the timing of this revelation...Mandela has probably already been proxy baptized mormon!Yeah...I think those Mormon missionaries in the spirit world...as they relay the Mormon version of the Gospel to black spirits...kept getting asked for explanations.
So the Mormon gods thought they'd head this off to some degree if they powered up the PR FAQ version on earth.

So, the LDS Prophets, and by Extension, the LDS god is fallible, right?Well your hammer has hit the nail square on its head.
Note this paragraph from yesterday's Salt Lake City Trib on this story:
"Mormons believe that their leaders are in regular communication with God, so if you say Young could make a serious error, he says, "it brings into question ALL of the prophet’s inspiration."
Source:
Mormon church traces black priesthood ban to Brigham YoungEVERYTHING Brigham Young has uttered -- if it wasn's suspect enough with his teachings that...
...Adam is God...
...Blood atonement...
...etc...
...is FURTHER brought into disrepute and distrust.
Furthermore, it thereby brings EVERYTHING that a church body does that elevates the name "Brigham Young" (i.e. BYU) into the same level of disrepute and distrust!

"Mormons believe that their leaders are in regular communication with God, so if you say Young could make a serious error, he says, "it brings into question ALL of the prophet’s inspiration."
Which brings us here:
The question is, do they believe Brigham Young to have been a false Prophet?
Do ANY of you "damned " SLC mormons reading this, who has gotten any information from your church, that old B.Y. was:
1. Speaking the very words of GOD
2. Drunk
3. On peyote
4. REALLY upset at SOMEone
5. Or just running his mouth as a man: a mere mortal, prone to the slings and arrows that beset us all or do you
6. just accept the FACT that you are, truly, damned for not following your Scripture found in D&C 132:58-66?

Here's a nice 'issue'...
The Book of Ether
Chapter 15:31
And it came to pass that after he had smitten off the head of Shiz, that Shiz raised up on his hands and fell; and after that he had struggled for breath, he died.
I'll let you start off.
