roseofsharon Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Thanks for the good news. I admit to being surprised. Maybe all the trouble going on in the world will bring a hey day of missionary work and convert baptisms like it did during the President Kimball era.

Ironhold Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 There's actually a small-scale religious awakening going on right now, with denominations that actually hold their members to a higher standard seeing growth to various degrees as people look for something authentic to counter-act what's happening in society.

zil2 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Traveler said: Who would have thought? Mormon? See, for example, Helaman 6 (~30 years before the Lord came - I read this recently and wondered if we wouldn't have something similar before the Second Coming - converts having to teach life-long members who had fallen into wickedness). See also 3 Nephi 1 - massive conversion followed by wickedness 2-3 years later (signs are not a good foundation for conversion). I figure in the age of "smart" phones, where people have a 2-second attention span, it might take 2 hours to turn back to wickedness (if that)... Whatever the case, these seem to me like types that will be repeated before the Second Coming. The whole world in commotion (including conversions and falling away).
