I want a link showing LDS doctrine. Is this it?

I don't think obscure means what you think it means (hint, published in the last 30 years does not equal obscure).

Also, it does answer your Jehovah question but, of course, you would have to read it to find that out.

So you think it is too obscure. Others will argue it is too specific. Or too narrow, or broad.

But you're not arguing whether or not it is obscure. You're arguing that it doesn't exist. That means you don't get to quibble over its qualitative value. You're going to have to stare at it and tell me it isn't there.

Thus you must have thought that somehow its creation in the last 30 years made it obscure. But AA's response is better. He is right. Who cares? You were arguing against existence and it clearly exists.

Why is there nothing about the number of sands in the sea? Why is not the distance one must hie in order to reach Kolob spelled out in both miles and kilometers? Why are not the events prior to the second coming spelled out in exhaustive, minute-by-minute detail?

And finally, does it exist?
