does anyone know how apostles are selected?
administratively speaking, how do they go about it? Function of the first presidency or president presenting a name to the Q12?

. . . Unless you are President Gordon B. Hinckley, second counselor in the Presidency, and Spencer W. Kimball is not well enough to act in his capacity as President, and you do it yourself. An interesting era.

Also, he was first counselor to Pres. Benson for the years Pres. Benson was incapacitated (interesting anecdote - they had trouble keeping nursing help for Pres. Benson because in his dementia, he had a potty mouth, and it was wreaking havoc on the testimonies of the young nurses). I'd say Pres. Hinckley has been the single most influential church leader since Pres. Mackay.

You don't believe anything unless it's written down and published, and witnessed, do you?
I have an uncle who had a job that allowed him access to that information during Pres. Benson's dementia. I'm relating what he told me. I didn't expect you to believe it. It's more for everyone else's benefit, because it's an interesting anecdote.
