All
know that Willard Richards official title was Dr. Willard Richards, yet he
didn’t practice medicine, at least not once he joined the Church. Could it be a
situation similar to Nauvoo resident and Church member King Follet, who wasn’t
a king at all, but rather his real given name. Or how about Doctor Philatus
Hurlbut, early member during the Kirtland years, turned apostate. Again, Doctor
was his given name. Well Dr. Willard Richards was a trained Doctor, but what is
it he said at the time of his conversion that caused him to leave the
profession?
A)
Malpractice

C)
I’m now a Doctor
of religion
D)
I’ll now heal
spiritually
