Just a couplet.

I understand that it will be revealed to the members of the church during the October General Conference this year.

The new couplet is as follows: "As man now is, President Hinckley once was. As President Hinckley now is, everybody else may soon become."

According to my sources, President Nelson really likes the new and revised couplet because it kills three birds with one stone:

(1) It's entirely accurate and truthful.

(2) It reminds everyone that Hinckley, the guy who humiliated Nelson by repudiating Nelson's jihad against the Mormon nickname, is dead.

(3) It's just ambiguous enough that low-IQ TBMs will not realize what it really means and will instead interpret it (in a faith-promoting way) as meaning that they can follow the footsteps of former prophets into heaven.

This is one of the best statements I've ever heard:

"As man now is, President Hinckley once was. As President Hinckley now is, everybody else may soon become."

"As woman now is, God's many wives once were. As God's wives now are, woman may become."

As God once was, man made up. As God is now, man made up.

Stop it. You're going to make me snort my Ovaltine. *LOL*

"Why do they call it Ovaltine? The jar is round, the glass is round, they should call in Roundtine."

"That's gold Jerry, gold!"

Oh, that was misheard or misinterpreted by a careless scribe.

Or hundreds of eyewitnesses.

"I don't know that we teach it. I don't know that we emphasize it..."

- Gordon B.S. Hinkley

I remember him denying most fundamental church teachings on international television.

At that point I figured if he denied being a prophet, then it was all a hoax.

"I don't know that we teach it" was one impressive lunge toward mainstreaming.

Yes, that's why Hinkley blew all that smoke. He wanted mainstreaming badly and now, and he accurately assessed this could slow it down.

My father isn't worm food. He rules over a whole world with his many wifely concubines. I'm most certain he'll curse some of his children with a skin of blackness. He always did like that doctrine. He'll also be the first god with no son to sacrifice. He couldn't wait on that act, and he did it while he was still mortal. I'm sure he'll be happy to sacrifice one of his daughters. He always loved them best, and they deserve it.

I don’t want my own planet. It’s too much to mow.

But that's the beauty of it! You have billions of children to do it for you!

And they’ll pay you for the privilege.

I’ll take “Discarded Eternal Truths” for $500, Alex.

As TBMs are now, exMos once were. As exMos are now, TBMs may become.

YES!!

We were promised 'all that the Father has' will be ours or at least available 'if we are faithful'....


Yup, that's a prosperity gospel appeal.

What does it mean about ghawd and/or Satan that the older I get, the hairier I get?

Is becoming hirsute a good sign or a bad sign?

You're only getting hairier in your nose and ears.

If that were only the case, Mr. Toot the Train Whistle, sir!

My body was once completely hairless, except for Crown & Crotch (Which is what I will name my English pub). Now I have hair not only in those two regions, and in and on my ears, but also on my chest, belly and low back.

I may be turning into a furry!

As god isn't, so may man become.

"As doctrine now is, folklore once was. As folklore now is, doctrine may become."

As Christianity once was Mormons did not become. As Christianity now is Mormons are becoming.

God was a psychopath in the O.T. and a free love hippy in the NT, so maybe he is schizophrenic psychopath, so maybe the couplet is accurate.

another level of the Refuse Pile that Mormonism has been since day 1;

Has ANYONE heard this mentioned in church (lessons, talks) lately? I sincerely doubt it; every once in a while, lessons are scrubbed to excise ('Eternal') teachings that have become the Square Pegs for Mormonism's Round Holes...

I think this saying from the Mormon church is so distasteful to the rest of the world that they don’t dare say it anymore. Even more that than it’s doctrinally unchristian and they want to be seen as more mainstream Christianity.
It’s such an arrogant belief. It says it all.

Jesus told his followers (now know as Mormons/LDSs) to be(come) perfect;

Mormon temple ceremony is shaped around attendees becoming Kings & Queens, Priests & Prientess if they 'endure to the end'...


What's a soul to do if/after they attain these admittedly lofty goals?

Who do they get to reign over? Won't they share in 'all the father has'?

Sheesh, Mormons, Please get your story straight, OK?

"As man now is, President Hinckley once was. As President Hinckley now is, everybody else may soon become."

Yep. Six feet under.
