What qualities do you have to have to be a counsellor in the FP? I'm aware TSM was the longest serving 'apostle' so became 'Prophet' when GBH died, but how did he end up picking Eyring and Uchtdorf? Eyring as 2nd Counsellor to GBH stayed in the FP as is traditional, but why was Eyring picked under GBH, or Dieter by TSM? Are they great theologians, or very good administrators, or just very well connected? I always assumed the 'Prophet' picked long term 'apostles', but TSM picked Dieter, who'd been an 'apostle' less than 4 years, over (say) Ballard, who'd been one for 23 years. Give me your opinions plus TBM thinking please!!
