I have a patriarchal "blessing" and I yet for some reason I don't think I'm from a "tribe". When I want to know the future, Gaz, I usually just make a decision and follow through. That seems to work better than reading my PB.

Hi Gaz! In answer to your question about Patriarchal Blessings and what tribes we're from.

I'm from the tribe of Ephriam.

Is there anyone who has had their Patriarchal Blessing who is NOT from the tribe of Ephriam?

I've yet to meet anyone.

I know a few folks from additional tribes... I know one young man who is from the tribe of Benjamin. All his ancestors are members, all from the tibe of Ephriam but he is an exception! Hmmmm...

After some inquiry, seems the tribal thing is not about actual lineage but about purpose. OK... whatever!

Back when I was a missionary, it was believed that most "Lamanites" were from the tribe of Manassah. At a zone conference in La Paz, Bolivia, our mission president asked everyone to stand, and then had all those from the tribe of Ephraim to sit down. There were only about 3 or 4 (out of at least 100 missionaries) who were not from Ephraim, and I believe that only one of those remaining standing was from Manassah.

Oh, it's about lineage all right. As for the one young man to whom you refer--the one from a different tribe--well, let's just say his mother got a little too wild out on the town one night. . .
