But you still believe in it, don't you?

Now THAT is something to fast and pray for.

Assuming Schryver's information is correct, what could the Church announce tomorrow that would make a doubting 19 year old choose to go on a mission?

He can take his girlfriend to be his companion and their parents will pay for it for 2 years?

All worthy young men's missions will be funded by the Church.

Apparently the speculation goes back to at least September 23.

On another board one poster commented.

If this raw speculation (that's what it is at the moment) is correct, then it would solve two imminent problems: possibly having, in future, to accommodate gay marriage by law. And it would solve the problem of "unworthy" relatives feeling left out of temple marriages.

That could be. It would then replicate military service in that you don't have to save up to pay your way while doing it. The transition could be awkward. The LDS Church could ask that all savings by pre-missionaries be turned over to the Church now.

Oh, I bet that is it.

We'll see.

After having told tens of thousands of people that their unworthy parents or other close relatives could not attend their temple weddings, not the Church would say nevermind, your wedding did not need to be in the temple, we just required this in America until now--but there was no spiritual reason the wedding was in the temple, just a sealing ceremony.

That would be a PR Cluster “F”.
