Who Here Could Name the BIG 15 Without Looking?

It has just occured to me that I have been pretty ambivalent with Mormonism long before I actually stopped "believing". I can trace this back to when Bednar was called to the top table, because he was the last name I remember, yet I know a couple more have died and been replaced since.

If pushed, I could probably name all the apostles that pre-date Bednar.

Who here could name all the 15 from memory, and who simply doesn't care?

Don't care

Bednar was called since I've been inactive. I haven't a clue what he even looks like.

I don't know who the news guys are. I can name the older guys still, but I don't even know what the newest ones look like, either.

Guilty.

In order (when I was a mo-in-good-standing; not now). Ugh.

This might work as a predictor of when somebody went inactive.

Growing up, memorizing the 15 was one of those things I didn't do, and then felt guilty about it

Great way to give a teen a neurosis.

Re: Who Here Could Name the BIG 15 Without Looking?

I could have done so, when I was active but your post made me realize I can no longer name the top 15. Thank you for giving me a truly happy moment today!!!

Ugh, I could. It hasn't even been two years since I resigned, so unless they've got someone new up in that piece....

Re: Who Here Could Name the BIG 15 Without Looking?

If I did get it right it would only be because I read it here. I barely know who the prophet is and don't really care. I'd probably throw in some who were in when I was active and who have long since died.

Give me a little bit to think about it and I might be able to name them in order of seniority.

Big 12-- Oklahoma, Texas, etc

Big 10-- Nebraska, Wisconsin, etc

Big 15--Is that the old Mountain West or the former Pac10?

Thank you for making me realise just how disinterested I am, you've made my day.
