There is happiness, and then there is joy, and then there is fullness of joy. Those who insist that they are happy with their choices, and the direction of The Lord's servants does not, and they choose not to follow, aren't exactly going to spend eternity in torment. The Lord has prepared a place for them where they will exceptionally happy. Not a fullness of joy, but what they have decided they want.
I'm not saying anything here that hasn't been taught for thousands of years.
Again, either you believe the Church is led by revelation, or you don't. Or you believe it once was, but no longer is. (Same difference). Though having studied the signs of the times, the latter-day prophesies, and the seven years of tribulation that preceed the Second Coming in great detail, I can confidently say that if people don't have the faith to follow the prophet on this issue, then they certainly will not with what's coming next.
