… concerning the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb. Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord. (D&C 112:24-26) O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. (2 Nephi 13:12) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. …that he might be revealed in his time. …until he be taken out of the way. (2 Thessalonians 2:1, 3-4, 6, 7) While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning. (D&C 85:8) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)

I met President Hinckley in Chicago at the rededication of the Temple waiting to enter we talked for ten minutes. Later in St. Louis at Regional Conference I was chosen to be a body guard for President Hinckley during the Conference. He IS a Prophet of Jesus Christ and the most gentile man I have known.

Give us a story about the peep stone 😅😅😅

What a man he was!!!

Thanks for posting this. What a delight President Hinkley was….and yet incredibly purposeful as a prophet of the lord in these latter days. 😊

It’s Murphy sick note told very well, with a perfectly straight face!

Boy, I miss President Hinckley. He was wonderful.

When you have to make up a quick story to call in sick to work....

Truthfully, I wish more leaders would let their senses of humor come out! Too many times we feel our leaders should be solemn, quiet men and hide their true personalities. I once received an anonymous letter telling me that the members of the bishopric treated our sacrament meetings like open mic night. I was deeply discouraged and met with the Stake President. He lovingly said, "you have a personality, never lose it." That's when I learned that sometimes we put undeserved expectations on our leaders. Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

It does not sound funny to me at all....too many memories to recall...ha ha ha

I’m glad he realized how much we don’t mind his humor at all. His humor made him so effective as a leader. In fact, I remember him talking about the power of good humor.

I sure love all the Prophets….but Pres. Hinkley holds a dear spot in my heart! He was the Prophet when I was younger and in my twenties….He always looked out for us Women and helped us feel valuable . Like all the rest …we love them🥹

Why do we keep repeating Thomas B. Marsh's bucket of cream story when we have *this* gem of a bucket story?!

Meh

I miss him

He goes on to speak about Exaltation/Godhood and the " Fall Upward". The gist was that we all make mistakes and get hurt to receive our Godhood. Nobody rides for free. I wish they had not clipped this when they did. Let him finish his point.

His 'story' is actually from an old Irish folk song called 'The Sick Note' by the Dubliners

Thanks for sharing this. I don't remember this talk as it was so long ago, but I did listen to an old song on one of my pandora stations a few days ago that relates the same story. It was done by the Dubliners, an old Irish band, and was called "The Sick Note". It has a few minor differences from the story Pres Hinckley told in his talk, and of course has rhymes and is funnier. I'm sure they both come from the same original source. One wonders if it's a true story, or at least an embellished version of a true story, enhanced over the years and re-tellings for greater humorous effect :) th-cam.com/video/j8uODpt79Ak/w-d-xo.html

Such a wonderful man.

Some pre talk ab exercise from President Hinckley!

Truly this is a man of God

this a story written by gerard hoffnung of golders green uk! it was recorded first in the 50's and goes much slower in gerards version but this one is equally as humerous. Gerard was a british comedic recitationist and as i remember in the 60's they would play it " THE BRICKLAYERS SAGA" ON A LOCAL CLEVELAND RADIO STATION ONLY ONCE A YEAR AT MIDNIGHT ON NEW YEARS EVE. its said that the poem is emblazened on a plaque at the US naval academy and is als used in an engeneering test at MIT or yale or harvard university requiring the engineering students to take provided values and describe all the weight, forces and actions upon the brcklayer, building , ground below and barrell! well used story it seems well done sir! th-cam.com/video/LOy2GuaP8Mo/w-d-xo.html

Anyone who thinks a prophet can't be humorous would be well served to listen to this. Thank you President Hinckley, I miss you but this helps.

There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.

My favorite prophet.

I remember that one. Truly miss his down to earth humor. Could use more of that currently.

This man is reading an edited and partly paraphrased version of a tale most wonderfully told by Gerard Hoffnung -- search for that name, plus 'Oxford union letter'. You'll find the original vastly funnier.

Proof it fake.

Just think of how many Mormon proffet are pervert Thomas monson and the woman with dead husband. To Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and John Taylor,. The guy now a ex oboma clean up doctors docker who love watching people die. This guy just tells stories.

Lol. Great story for laughs, Mr. Hinckley. The ones that are writing comments here, pretending to be offended, are disgruntled exmos, who are just here to rag on the church. Thursday - April 1, 2021.

Plagiarism - word for word it's Hoffnung's speech to the Oxford Union in 1958.

This is an old and tired joke. It was done by an english cimic before this asshole stole it. Typical Mormon...no ethics whatsoever and liars

Is his magic mormon panties pink, the same color other profits wear???

This sounds SO MUCH like something I would do....

😆😆😆😆 I'm not a member of this organization. But that's just hilarious!

Cult.

No le entendi ni madres

He was one of the good ones. I miss him.

I remember when I was a Mormon and it seemed odd even then that stories about people suffering traumatic experiences and severe injuries always made the congregation laugh and feel good. Must be something to do with the preoccupation that Religions give to death.

Ah, more stories, more propaganda, more Kool aid. Yummy. Hey flaggers, I know only I and you see this comment. Why don't you email me and let's clear up the questions I have asked over and over again. Silence, is the only answer that's come from the church. I am no one, if it's the one and only true church then it should be easy to answer my questions. Let's start with a simple one. Why was the mountain meadow massacre not stopped. Brigham Young with the mantle of the priesthood should have had prophetic vision and told John D Lee not to attack. What about the 1893 prophesy? And is it true that Brigham Young owned a liquor operation in salt lake? What about Wilford Woodruff? After he declared the end of polygamy he married another wife in a kind of mobile temple session? Come on I just wanted some simple answers, God has not answered me and confirmation bias doesn't work anymore sense I started fact checking my faith. There are alot more questions I have. Why did the church modify the policy on trans people in such a short time. The prophet leads the church and policy shouldn't need tweaking if the policy is rolled out from on high. The book of Mormon is so full of historical holes it is completely unreliable, there is about the same archeological evidence in the Flint Stones as the book of Mormon. Don't send me any ensign articles, just some simple unbiased documentation stating facts. No mental gymnastics, just fact's. No, beliefs statement's or faith based answers just some researchable facts from unbiased sources would be wonderful.

the "shields" are not for protection. they reflect the words of his talk, which only he can see. there are people behind the scenes who feed the pages as needed. that way he, and other speakers, don't have to mess with carrying papers up to the podium.

Stories like this one paints wonderful pictures only we can see in our mind.

Mr hickory or whatever his name is was pretty good is not not a presidenthe's a dictator of a nonprofit organization put in there for the last guy. Your choices are be happy with him or leave. Only God will keep you safe if leave.

Sounds like a bull s*** story

What’s the name of this talk?

Whoever gets offended by this needs to lighten up! SHEEEEESH! What has happened to our world that people SEARCH for every opportunity to become offended at EVVVVVVERYTHING??

If this doesn't get you out of a bad or blue mood, I don't know what will.
