ALL: Q1: How do Mormons determine their next head "prophet"?
A: Among those eligible, a piece of PAPER printed long ago does. It's called a calendar. The age of the Mormon general authority among the candidates is what dictates to the Mormon god who gets the nod. A: Lds may talk about how they "sustain" who the "prophet" is by a show of hands...but coincidentally, no "no" votes seem to have ever been tallied. Even the Mormon holy ghost can't override the the power of calendar PAPER re: the selection process.
Which shows you how accurate our god(s) is(are) for RESTORING the ancient rules!

Which shows you how useless and unneeded the Twelve Yesmen are. No OT prophet EVER needed ANYONE to second-guess what GOD told him to say!
