Hmmm...that sounds like just one more justification for 'offing' the old folks. That must be one of the characteristics of the rising generation. They don't wish to have their inheritances consumed by SS, Medicare, and out-of-pocket nursing care for their aged 'screwed up' Baby Boomer parents. I'm sure they will have better use for the money by spreading peace and happiness to one another.The GI and Baby Boomer generations are the one that really screwed us over.
I seem to recall a message from the First Presidency read from the pulpit in Sacrament Meeting stating that the General Authorities of the LDS Church have made NO STATEMENT in regard to the 'specialness' of the rising generation as warriors or 'reserved until the last day'.
I have heard the GA's admonish parents to teach their children how to work because the young people have a universal attitude of 'entitlement'.
I've taught youth for several decades. Some of them are bright and do know their scriptures much better now than in times past. They also don't fully 'understand' the scriptures, they just know where to find passages. I now teach the missionaries assigned to our Stake every Sunday in Gospel Principles. Few of them 'shine'.
Nice kids, just not really interested.
The most powerful cultures are those that view their Elders as sources of wisdom and counsel.
So why doesn't the Church have a 19 year-old prophet?
