I assumed they were speaking of the Second Coming.

Could you teach the gospel?


Of course. That part's easy, much easier than the business stuff. Just follow the correlated lesson manuals.

I would characterize it as greater than '78.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

I think the brethren are going to issue a proclamation against fake fingernails.

Since they've already covered the earring issue.

If that's what they were referring to, they've got a LOOONG time to wait. lol.

LDS have been waiting for the 'imminent' 2nd coming since Joseph Smith's day.

I think the fact that Jesus is late for his own second coming makes him very unreliable and I have to question putting any faith in him at all. I mean, do I really want to trust my salvation to someone who can't even show up on time? I swear, if he were my employee, I'd can his sorry ass.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
