Modern day apostacy - how would we know?
I once heard a fundy assert the modern day LDS church is in apostacy, and provided the dearth of prophecy & revelation since John Taylor as the evidence. ("Thus sayeth the Lord...")
So, how *would* one know if this was the case or not? Surely Catholics / priests / monks have felt the spirit over the centuries relative to Papal pronouncements. (OK, I'll cop to being a weirdo in thinking about this stuff. LOL) |

Ah, Mike. How poorly you understand me.
Like Indy apparently believes, I believe her actions in this life (at least what I know of them) are a credit to her, and that with a little proxy work, she'll be far more worthy of celestial glory than I. Likewise, I believe the vast majority of individuals who have lived & passed on on this earth are, for the most part good people with good intentions and, with a little proxy work, will inherit celestial glory as well.
