According to President Holland, this will happen in the next few weeks:

We are all on the cusp of witnessing a modern miracle and the power of revelation/prophecy from one of the Lord's Annointed.

Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it marvelous?

Service missionaries plus full-time plus Ward misionaries? And yes, I did read the article.

/r/exmormon hit 100k this weekend.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

He didn't say by the beginning of 2019.

I think he still has till March 4th of 2019 (the date he gave the interview in 2015) to be proven a true prophet.

Luckily he put it as "We're projecting out probably within four years". He's really just putting this on people who did the projecting for him. I think anyone who knew anything about this knew that he was so far off when he said it 4 years ago, that we all jus saw it as a ridiculous ignorant claim. Either he's spouting off about something he knows nothing about, which is problematic, or something has gone so horribly wrong that we are now about 40,000 people under what was projected. I'd say the former.

Then again he was the one who got all animated in claiming they create double digit stakes each week, in describing his biggest problem of the Church growing too fast. That one seemed a little more of an intentional lie to me.

I wonder if they are busily signing up all the waifs and strays that they deem unable to serve the full 18 month stretch, on to the new 6 month home-based sentence...they need about 35,000 of them by recent calculations....

This is nothing. Used to be in the Millions - with "every member a missionary".

Remember that one? David O. McKay - if my memory is correct.
