In XX years, I (as a Mormon) will be wrong

... "confounding factor (Y)"

For those of us that poured as pure a faith as possible into this latest set of dates (i.e. see Lectures on Faith concepts of action based faith), this confounding factory is better referred to as the WTF happened factor (I really do want a ring, I think I deserve it).

I didn't get the memo. What was the deal with 2005/7/11?

Of course this was never anything official from the church, only the musings of individuals, but it was typically based on the God time math example that I gave early, only that the "now" moment was being analyzed from the entire timeline of this creation (with the likes of Cleon Skousen's 7k series etc.).

These various analyses were simply stating drop dead dates in the year 2000 to sub 2020 time frames. There were several different ones, I don't remember the exact dates ... values given were only for example

This 2.5 billion year eternal round is about done!

edit:

p.s. Chapel Mormons did not get the memo

On a related topic, I wonder if Mormon youth in, say, 3123 will still be told that they are a "chosen generation" like I heard all the time when I was a Mormon youth (I ought to confirm, are Mormon youths still being told this drivel today?)

I also wonder whether in 3123 Mormon brass will still be spouting off about how the world today in more wicked than ever before? (Having read a great deal of history, I can't help but wonder as when just when the good ol' days were when the world was not wicked. It's as if Mormons and other Evangelicals think that sex was discovered during the 1960s.)

No Mormons here are willing to lay it out there?

I'm just curious as to how long the "latter-day" phrase can be attached to the church. Surely there will come a point in time when Jesus hasn't come back to earth proclaiming the Mormon church to be true, when Mormons (and probably christians for that matter) will have to admit that he probably isn't coming back, and the 1800's shouldn't have been considered the 'latter-days'. If he hasn't returned to the earth by the year 2050 is that it? How about the year 2300? When does the LDS church (and christianity for that matter) lose credibility?

The atheist is just like the nonthinking LDS, they have picked a side and they are hell-bent to hold onto it regardless what comes up. The theshold for denial is 100% on both sides.

The scriptures detail the "REAL" last days with specific chronological events that need to click off.

1. Gospel restored
2. revelations restored
3. Satan casts a flood of evil to overcome the true church
4. Man of sin sits in the temple of God showing himself as if he were God and corrupts docrine and flips the church on its head.
5. Satan fills the world with his lying wonders (modern technology)
6. Apostasy of restored church
7. An Ensign to the nations is lifted up on the top of the mountain
8. The stone cut out of the mountain without hand smites the apostate Babylon on the feet to begin the new age of Zion for real.
9. The gospel is take from the Gentile LDS Church
10. Zion begins

In fifty years we will still be on track. It may not go 100 but it could.
All these things have already clicked off and many incidental ones.
What level of denial do you entertain?
