It's really interesting to read this thread, and I much appreciate the calming comment from the moderator. Not many people who have been commenting have read the entire article. This article had sound and timely advice on what to do when a spouse loses his or her faith, which is an earth-shaking event. Please know that ThirdHour is staffed by people who want nothing more than to help Christ's work progress according to His eternal plan and that everyone there makes sacrifices so that will happen. They are careful. They are not "progressive" but they are aware that many Latter-day Saints are going through hard things that can ruffle the feathers of people whose "box" in the Church is carefully defined. They want to help, so they need to address these things in the best way possible. Please give them the benefit of the doubt.

For Carborendum, one reference, although there are others: http://www.rogerknecht.com/it’s-about-prudence-not-paranoia/prophets-have-warned/vision-of-pres-george-albert-smith/ http://www.latterdayconservative.com/john-taylor/john-taylors-last-days-vision/

This idea doesn't just come from the White Horse Prophecy (which is not upheld as true by the Church, is third hand information after a long passage of time, and which contains numerous errors). It comes from the prophecies of George Albert Smith and one reported by Wilford Woodruff and attributed to John Taylor. Both saw in vision an attack on the U.S. which had survivors from around the country trying to make their way to Utah for sustenance and safety. Migration to Zion in Missouri would come later.
