Will the latest prediction coming true give anyone pause?

I am apprehensive about them nowadays - ever since RMN has taken the reigns.
Having said that, much of the most alarming stuff is announced as "policy adjustments" through the PR dept.

No... not at all. The last two years have shed light on the MO of the church. I plan on catching the highlights from the forum, but will not be tuning in.

Ditto. It’s like watching the news knowing I’m going to be gaslit or lectured for not being a good global citizen. I just don’t have the stomach for it any more.

I am going to watch. I have gone through a lot with the church and I am still here when I was saying contraversial things whereby they could have cut me off. I believe the church made a deliberate choice not only to show mercy toward me, but to council other members who were quite upset at things I said publically to be kinder to me. So I am invested in seeing how things develop, for better or worse.

I know that evil exists in high places. All the more reason for an intercessor. Mercy warrants mercy and its the only way to heal instead if divide. So, I am rooting for mercy from God on our church. If God is still the head of it then let's pray God will get the blasted fiends out and for the Holy Spirit to be invited back. If enough of us are praying for this, committed to following the Priesthood that God gave us, then miracles can happen.

I always remember the truth that if we keep our first and second estate we are promised to receive progression for eternity. We have been given the church. Let's keep this. We have always known there were sealed portions of the record to come forth. And they will. They can add to what we have been given by way of corporate entity. The Kingdom of God is without hands. We have to transition from corporate to incorruptible. Do we do it with weeping and gnashing of teeth or with an extended arm of mercy and forgiveness?

I once had a dream about being on a train and there was a shoot out. I was about to get off to save my life. But then I heard the command "don't get off the train!"

I knew the train represented the church. The church has been through a lot, especially the last couple years.

But today I was contemplating that dream and the idea came to me. God isn't going to force me to stay in a shoot out. If that is the way it is to stay on the train, it means Jesus will come deliver us.

The first time Jesus drove the bad guys out of His Father's house, he was crucified. This time, Jesus is going to rid the fiends out of His Father's house in power and glory.

I am not giving up. I want to see this through. I want to see how this works out.

Not looking forward to it. It's always so boring and uneventful. Like I want to hear 10 more talks on tithing, and 20 more on obedience to leadership, with subtle woke ideology permeating the whole thing. There's no passion, no fire in the belly, they just have to make sure they get all of the key words in.

As another poster said they usually make the important announcements in press releases, etc anyway.
