Things would be better if they would just stay off the lawn.

Meanwhile on the TravelerCam, we see him sitting on his front porch watching some teenagers.

Not really. 
 
The most likely explanation is this was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young that was never canonized because it was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young.
 
 

As a matter of mechanics, how do you think the “thus-switch-the-Lord” revelations in the D&C (and for that matter, the rest of canon) were transmitted to their recipients?  Dream?  Waking Vision? Physical material visitation of a divine being?  Audible voice?  Trance?  Specific words coming to to the recipient’s mind?  A image coming to the recipient’s mind, which the recipient then had to articulate in his own words?  Something else?
Were *all* the “thus-saith-the-Lord” revelations in our canon transmitted through the same method?
Are you sure?
How do you know?
Oh, and on a completely unrelated tangent:  what do you think of Denver Snuffer and John Pontius/Thom Harrison?

For the sake of argument, let us pretend for a moment that you are right. The Church membership is less spiritually robust than in past generations, have turned their back on certain elements of their covenants, and therefore have had some of the light and truth in their doctrines, practices, and temple covenants taken away by divine decree. What would you have us do? I mean, repent, of course—but that would be true in any case. What would you, Maverick, have us TH participants do? Should we contact the First Presidency and express our displeasure? Should we chain ourselves to the gates of the Seattle temple to show our unhappiness with the direction things are going? Should we, I don't know, get on public message boards and broadcast to all who will hear how the Church is drifting into apostasy and forgetting its covenant roots? Should we go all Jana Riess and start publishing as publicly as possible our displeasure, unrest, and rebellion against such things?
Or should we perhaps sustain our leaders in their challenges during these difficult times? Should we rather bear fervent testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, of the reality of the restoration of Priesthood keys, and of the existence of the kingdom of heaven right here on Earth, with Christ Himself at the head and His chosen apostles leading and administering?
I'm trying to figure out what it is you (Maverick) hope to accomplish in spreading your warning of wickedness and spiritual slothfulness among the Saints. As a result of the dire warnings given us by you, we should immediately do—what?

Not in my book. 

I should note that I didn’t condemn the entire younger generation; I condemned that subset of them which has abandoned a certain set of principles.
I’m probably getting into the weeds here, but . . . I disagree with this.  Kids don’t always do what they’re taught.  In fact, for millennia people have bemoaned the tendency of adolescents to do precisely the opposite of what they were taught. Humans are not computers; and I think it’s a stretch to suggest most incidences of human dysfunction are the result of some sort of manufacturer’s or programmer’s error.  

Do you think that is what is happening?

If that's where it goes my sister and her ward will be changing then as well. They live off of 6200 So. and wayyyyy west.  
 

West Jordan, looks I'll be changing districts yet again (eventually.)  I'll guess the location south of 7000 S and West of 5600 W.  Most likely west of Mountain View Corridor.

The Church already announced the Kirtland temple will remain as is and open to the public. They are allowing Community of Christ to still use it for some of their needs.

@JohnsonJones  If you have the experience you say (I'm taking you at your word that you do) then you know how safe that child was and how ridiculous your concerns are.
 
Timestap 7:40 so you can see clearly what you will also see in the next picture.  Rifle slung downwards.
 

 
 
Time stamp 7:42 the rifle is slung.  Non threatening.  Puh-leeze JJ...puh-leeze.  
 

 
 
 
My bonafides on the topic:
 
I am 26 year officer (still working.)
I am a building clearing instructor.
I am an active shooter/rapid response instructor.
I am a MACTAC instructor (counter terrorist active shooter stuff.)
 
You are really reaching JJ.

@JohnsonJones you are either ignorant of building clearing tactics or looking to complain.  With your expressed attitude about the topic you are wrong in either case.  I really do not think you want to understand the reasons or care.  Your attitude shows.  See @Just_A_Guy's first point.  Nope, NO APOLOGIES for practicing proper building clearing tactics.

I'll get screwed out of about 60% of my SSN because I will have a public safety pension.  There are currently efforts to change the laws that take away my benefits.  Not really holding my breath.

What does this mean?

Take my anecdote for what it's worth:
Years ago, wife and I helped put a Utah child molester behind bars.  He was accused of a dozen counts over the span of a year - abusing his niece.   It was an "aggravated" felony because he was in a position of trust.  Basically, extra horrible, carries extra penalties than just plain old child sex abuse.  He pled guilty to one count, the sentence was 5-life.  He was up for a parole hearing 4 years in, but he hadn't availed himself of any of the programs for sex offenders who want parole, so it was not granted.  He made parole the next year, a few months shy of a full 5 years.
I've heard stories of similar sentences for similar crimes in other states.
