Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Re: Rumored Monson Revelation
The only revelation I want to hear is a statement declaring that the church is not true and that all of the church's assets are to be sold off and the money equally divided among the members.

I'm sure that activity levels will reach record highs on the day that the distribution takes place.

Lol, so much for a "Great Revelation"
First time I had seen it was in this thread also. Initially I thought they were talking about the original PEF (Perpetual Emigration Fund) which was used to bring over converts in the early years of the Church and then used as a means to control new converts once they were isolated in Salt Lake. As far as the new PEF (Perpetual Education Fund) goes I am not sure what it is nor has anyone pointed out where the Church has declared it to be a revelation.
As a side note regarding the old PEF, it is interesting to note the drop off in converts from foreign missions in the early Church immediately after the Church publicly admitted to practicing polygamy.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
