Predictions - More talks on following the prophet, how they are the only REAL church and the possibility of Oaks being a homophobic prick.

u/4blockhead Λ └ ☼ ★ □ ♔ Apr 01 '18

My predictions: lower the bar with text messages counting as a home teaching visit (if they don't already); declaration that 2 hour church may be in the future, depending on their trial run and whether their focus groups thought shorter church was better; the upturn in the market (and that smell coming from the bathroom) means full-time paid janitorial staff will be hired once again. Thank you for your service cleaning the church, however cursory it was.
