"He graduated from George Washington University as a mechanical
engineer, served a full-time mission to Uruguay, and completed post
graduate work in nuclear engineering at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. From
1953 to 1965 Elder Scott served on the immediate staff of Admiral
Hyman Rickover, directing the development of nuclear fuel for a wide
variety of naval and land based power plants. "

His biography goes on to say:

"He served as a regional representative in the Uruguay, Paraguay,
North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. areas until his
call as a Seventy."

What exactly is a "Seventy"?

Read the bible.

Excellent idea.

<q>
Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut
off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for
what I did to them."
</q> Judges 1:7, NIV

I wonder what he did to deserve that?

Or was it:

<q>
But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of
them to death because they had looked into the ark of the LORD.
</q>1 Samuel 6:19

Or maybe:

<q>
When the letter arrived, these men took the princes and slaughtered all
seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in
Jezreel.
</q>2 Kings 10:7

So it's hard to tell, really, but from Michael's excellent exegesis we
can be pretty sure it was something bad.

Unfortunately, to know what god wants, in any day and age, you
need immediate revelation.

Tis why on one page, god says 'thou shalt not kill' and
on the other 'thou sahlt utterly destroy'.

If you don't destroy when god commands it, he
destroys you ...

Go read the bible ...
