Succession boxes, etc.

To refer to Johnson as "Prophet and President of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" is a bit anachronistic, as the group was not called or incorporated as such until nearly five years after his death. It would probably be more historically accurate to refer to him simply as "Senior Member of the Priesthood Council (Short Creek Community)." Also, if we're going to include Charles Zitting's unrecognized position as Senior Member in the succession boxes, it might be prudent to note that Joseph W. Musser's claim to the office is also unrecognized by the FLDS, whose official line of succession goes straight to Johnson after the death of John Y. Barlow. --Worthington56 (talk) 23:32, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sound good to me.--ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 11:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the only way to really make it work is to just pull the FLDS Church Titles out of the box completely. The issue is that there "succession" is significantly different then most Short Creek Community (known as the Woolley Group before 1935) "succession" line, eve though they share the same line before 1954. I think I have it figured out now. Let me know if it works for you.--ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 13:34, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! Thanks. --Worthington56 (talk) 21:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
