He foresaw the need to "roll" in his grave for what would happen to his church.

"I want my coffin made of plump 1 1/4 inch boards, not scrimped in length, but two inches longer than I would measure, and from two to three inches wider than is commonly made for a person of my breadth and size, and deep enough to place me on a little comfortable cotton bed, with a good suitable pillow for size and quality; my body dressed in my temple clothing, and laid nicely into my coffin, and the coffin to have the appearance that if I wanted to turn a little to the right or to the left, I should have plenty of room to do so. The lid can be made crowning."

nice
I wish all the prophets were like BY. He actually came up with some original stuff. I would like to listen to him at conference. Then my family could all sit around the dinner table and say "what did you learn from conference?" and I would say "Well, I didn't know quakers lived on the moon!" lol

he'd become quite a fat ass, from living large of the labors of those who saw him as a prophet seer and revelator.

How much exactly did he owe the Church at the time of his death again? Meanwhile my ancestors in Southern UT were barely scraping by. What a jerk.

...after paying all of his debts. His many children and wives got little in the way of inheritance.
