I think the most likely scenario is that it stressed the poor guy to the point that it compromised fatally his delicate health.
Yes, that's the most likely scenario.

Nevertheless, if the junior Ballard is found unalived or suicided, then I'll take a second, much harder look.
95 year olds tend to die.

But does anyone know if he was fully vaxxed and boosted?

Ballard's financial and career history is proof that the LDS 'church' is nothing but a filthy rich corporation masquerading as a religion and a giant club for former wealthy businessmen. :lol:

Not really. Ballard was never wealthy as a businessman. He was, quite frankly, too stupid to pull off his cons.

What it really shows is that historically if you are of the lineage, you are in. Ballard was a descendent of Hyrum Smith. He was in.

Haha, good points. :lol: The level of deception taking place at the highest echolons of the 'church' is absolutely staggering. :x

I wonder who will replace him?

- maybe a first black African apostle (only 45 years after the racist priesthood ban was lifted)
- maybe a first female Apostle?
- maybe an openly gay/single Apostle?
- maybe an Apostle under the age of 40?
- or maybe just another something/American over 60 who’s fully demonstrated an ability to be a Yes man
At this point we could use someone who is honest replacing him. That would certainly improve the honesty quotient of the group.
If they were 100% honestly engaged with the truth, they would disband immediately.

It will be interesting to see interactions with the Davidic Servant play out.

So far, no official acknowledgment of the 5.7 and subsequent earthquakes.

Things likely step up significantly upon cessation of the silence in heaven.

That happens 2025-2040, based on 2010 opening of the seventh seal.

Buckle up, the wild ride has only just begun.
