This guy was an EQ assistant or something like that. It was his turn to teach the EQ one Sunday. He spent the first half of the hour leading up to his big news. He talked in a very heartfelt tone, saying how he believed it was time to reveal some important news. How he had prayed about it, and even argued with god about the timing etc. but sincerely felt that now was the time. He then told us that he knew that he would be the next prophet. The so called 'spirit' was quick to leave as everyone became extremely uncomfortable.
At the end of the meeting, the EQ prez gets up and attempts to mend the damage. He states that he did not beleive that so and so really believed that he would be the Prophet, but that it was an object lesson to show how we should always be prepared and worthy because we never know what god might have planned for us.
Then, the next F&T meeting, this same loon gets up to the podium. He then apologized to the entire congregation for his behavior in EQ. And just when we thought he might smooth it over he says 'but, I have a testimony, that in four years time I will be called to be an apostle of God, and then the next prophet'. OUCH. The Bishopric was squirming hard up on the stand, with their heads in their hands and probably really wondering what to do.
This sort of thing is probably not that uncommon in a church that teaches that feelings=reality. This was about 11 years ago. I wonder what ever happened to that guy. He's not an apostle btw. No surprise there.
