I do not wish to be rude. But honestly I couldnt stand it. A fellow ward member gave his testimony, and while I am not questioning his testimony in knowing what he knows is true in the LDS faith, (or which I have a firm belief that it is true as well) I will question what he talked about. Below explains what I am correcting about. A statement has been circulated that asserts in part that the youth of the Church today “were generals in the war in heaven . . . and [someone will] ask you, ‘Which of the prophet’s time did you live in?’ and when you say ‘Gordon B. Hinckley’ a hush will fall, . . . and all in attendance will bow at your presence.” This is a false statement. It is not Church doctrine. At various times, this statement has been attributed erroneously to President Thomas S. Monson, President Henry B. Eyring, President Boyd K. Packer, and others. None of these Brethren made this statement. and it has never been made by any church authority. Stake presidents and bishops should see that it is not used in Church talks, classes, bulletins, or newsletters. Priesthood leaders should correct anyone who attempts to perpetuate its use by any means, in accordance with “Statements Attributed to Church Leaders,” Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 1 (2006), 173. [Emphasis present in original] - Office of the First President, Notice, Subject: False Statement, (25 February 2008). This statement was printed in Deseret News on 8 March 2008
