In a ward with a high percentage of high priests when he is not getting a calling that requires it, like bishopric member. My BIL was recently made a high priest and the bishop said he'd been getting a "prompting" to do it for almost a year. Finally the SP said "then you better go ahead an do it."
The problem is, both my mom and my sister (his wife) now think he is dying or something and that is why the bishop felt it was important to get him this office at such a young age. Also, my sister has two friends who died, who were promised in their patriarchal blessing that they would serve senior missions and both died before 40. BIL has the same promise in his blessing, using the same wording as in the two people who died.
Now the fanatical TBM women in my family are freaking out and I am silently cursing the imaginary priesthood and made up patriarchal blessings for causing unnecessary stress in peoples' lives AGAIN.
