And then, there is Jeff Lindsay, in China, ostensibly on a job. But there he is spreading his good will and charm to all he meets. Then, when the real request to the Chienes authorities comes, they will have this picture of a happy smiling and friendly LDS for an example and will see pictures of the young, rosy cheeked missionaries that will be sent and their hearts will melt. Couls be that the East Berlin Temple scenario will play out again.<br /><br />By the way, missionaries are still allowed in Hong Kong and they get to share the gospel with quite a few mainland Chinese as it is right now. So the effort is underway as we write, in some rspects.<br /><br />How long after the Temple was loowed in Hong Kong that the wall came down? I do not remember.<br /><br />GlennGlenn Thigpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289698106336334148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-47728127389823716802013-03-04T17:17:02.305-06:002013-03-04T17:17:02.305-06:00My father is serving as the mission president in T...My father is serving as the mission president in Taiwan Taichung right now, and was told by the Area Authority to "authoritatively deny" this rumor, which is "pillaging" this Church right now. It is not true. He gets asked about it frequently, because often a variant of this rumor is that the missionary is first called to Taiwan and then the call changes to China. It is not true.

As per the latest official introduction to OD1, we don't even know why blacks stopped getting the priesthood: <i>Church records offer no clear insights into the origins of this practice. Church leaders believed that a revelation from God was needed to alter this practice and prayerfully sought guidance.</i><br /><br />Thanks for clarifying this rumor.Mike Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-81121896473284162342013-03-04T08:31:05.417-06:002013-03-04T08:31:05.417-06:00Well, if the rumor that there is a temple deep ins...Well, if the rumor that there is a temple deep inside the Taj Mahal ever goes viral, at least we'll know where that one got started.Last Lemmingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-44589390353953435412013-03-04T00:25:47.777-06:002013-03-04T00:25:47.777-06:00How does this stuff (rumors) even get started?!
