About 20 years ago, BKP "prophesied" that only 3 things could ever ( MIGHT ever) seriously harm the church:

1- intellectuals
2- modern day technology ( internet, etc.)
3- the gay/lesbian movement

Looks like he was right on track, and his prophesy is proving to be true in all three cases. I guess it is NO coincidence that he is next in line for the number one job!

Not sure I can find it, but it stuck in my brain, as it really surprised me at the time. I will try to find it, any one else have that reference? He said it in a talk to BYU professors to the best of my remembrance.

Here is the quote and it did not include technology, but scholarship.

"The dangers I speak of come from the gay-lesbian movement, the feminist movement (both of which are relatively new), and the ever-present challenge from the so-called scholars or intellectuals." (Talk to the All-Church Coordinating Council, May 18, 1993).

Yup, I WAS WRONG, sorry about that, on the modern day technology. The three reasons he gave were gays, feminists, and intellectuals and it is easily found in many talks he gave if you google his name and these 3 things.

So, no, I guess he was not inspired, because he missed possibly the biggest one of all, the internet!
