How old do you have to be to become a High Priest?
Let's say you are never called to a Bishopric or Stake Presidency, or High Councilor position, can you eventually become a High Priest anyway? And if so, at what age? I know girls who can get endowed in their early 20s who aren't getting married or going on a mission, but want to be endowed anyway, so I was wondering if something similar is with becoming a High Priest at a certain age.

12. But you have to have a source of good weed. 
I'm sorry, MS, couldn't help myself.

Maks,
Dispensing this kind of misinformation about the holy priesthood is not likely to end well, especially up here in the Celestial.
Every Mormon knows that a high priest would need to be at least 16 years of age and have good weed.
What you described would only be a high deacon.

Now, go and sin no more.

But DrW, I thought that Celestial was the higher kingdom...

High deacon. Maybe it could be a new show on Nickelodeon?

Didn't BY make one of his boys a Apostle when he was 12 or something? I don't think there is a written age requirement.

If you don't get a calling that will make you a HP, they will make you one at 50.

That is, if I don't die before then.
