Will the LDS church become less white and delightsome?

Post by _karl61 »

Given the nuclear world that we live in - transportation and world population growing it seems that maybe in the next thousand years the white and delightsome scandinavian will intermarry which will cause the skin to be darker as the world progresses. Would this be ironic for the LDS church? Spence W. Kimbell's tomb stone may start to shake, rattle and roll.

I've never understood what the church had against a good tan.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

The church could have been headed in that direction if some of those men hadn't been afraid of my café au lait...

I want at least six children...and the making of them would have been quite fun. We might not have stopped at six.

And there was always the room with the metal door in the basement that the kids couldn't get into...

Church would have been much darker.

I think in a thousand years there will be one color - light brown - everyone will have a good dark tan - everyone will look like a Lamanite - again - Kimbill's grave will shake, rattle and roll.

So the room with the metal door is the chamber of delights?

Not anytime soon.

The majority of the tithes comes from the the lilly white morridors of the inter-mountain west(ID, UT, AZ, and portions of CA).


Baptismal counts are and will continue to out pace the white ones, especially with most young Mormon married couples opting for smaller families.

LDS Inc is headed for some hard times for the next 20 years.

Has Packer or any of the other quackers said anything about tanning booths? Seems all the white people want to get browner. Tanning booths have got to be as bad as two earrings, I would think. Or maybe they are used in preparation or conditioning for a vacation in a warmer climate like the land of everlasting burnings.

So many questions. Oh where, oh where has the revelation gone?

Charity???
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

Yes, and I'll let you have the skeleton key, Mok.

If only the church would send me one innocent RM a year, we'd increase the numbers and diversity pretty quickly...

But then again, the thoughts that'd be running through their heads during meetings...I don't know if that's safe or not.

Skeleton key? Now you really have me rattled and I'll make no bones about that!

by the way, your new avatar reminds me of the Mona Lisa with a better smile.
