Pres. Packer refutes quote
-------------- next part --------------

April 28, 2001

       President Boyd K. Packer, acting president of the Quorum of  
the Twelve, has released the following concerning a statement he is  
said to have made:
       "We continue to receive reports of the distribution of a quote  
attributed to me which begins, 'The youth of the Church today were  
generals in the war in heaven,' and ends with the statement that when  
they return to heaven 'all in attendance will bow in your presence.'
       "I did not make that statement. I do not believe that statement.
       "The statement, on occasion, has been attributed to others of  
the First Presidency and the Twelve. None of the Brethren made that  
statement."
       President Packer has sent a letter to mission presidents  
requesting their help in clarifying this matter among missionaries  
and members, and has had posted on some Internet sites carrying the  
statement a notice that he did not make this declaration.

The quote regarding "The Greatest Generation" attributed to Elder  
Packer was
refuted by a letter from him. Does anyone have a source for or the  
actual
directive that he gave?

Thanks in advance!
