Given the Second Anointing in One's Patriarchal Blessing.

[_Everybody Wang Chung]

I know several decades ago, Stake Patriarchs gave all kinds of interesting and unique blessings. It seems like today, PB's have become more correlated and boilerplate.

I've been reading my father's PB lately. It was given to him in 1951. It is very interesting, especially this part:

"Because of thy righteousness and valor in the pre-existence, I seal and bind upon thee eternal life in the highest kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom of our Heavenly Father."

It sure sounds like he was given the Second Anointing in his blessing. I haven't heard of anything like this since.

Anyone else know of anything similar to having one's call and election made sure in their PB?

If you read further you'll probably find a statement that says the blessing is predicated on faithfulness.

There's not. That's one of the reasons I thought it was so interesting.

Would your Dad (I'm not asking you to reveal in real life details) have been an individual of the seniority or within the circle of a GA that would be liable for selection for a second anointing?

Not at the time his he received his PB. Later in life, yes.

Is your Dad Will Schryver?

I think that being in an ordinary pew Mormon's PB is very unusual, even for the fifties.

[_Mormon Think]

My PB said that I received the 'Calling of the Election' in the pre-existance. Whatever that means.

Sounds like you have your golden ticket!

I'm envious. My PB is pretty boilerplate, fill in the blanks.

Just like Charlie in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Actually, my PB is absolutely fantastic compared to most others. It is two full pages of unbelievable promises of wealth, church status, happiness, insights, etc. If only it wasn't from some guy that was just playing fortune teller.

Is your dad still alive? I want to meet him.

This is doctrinally adolescent in the grossest stupidity imaginable.
