When I was young growing up as a kid, I was not a believer. I hasn’t had that witness of hte Holy Ghost telling me God existed. I think because of that, the benchmark I always looked to was the year 2000. I would turn 27 in the year 2000. It was difficult for me to see myself ever existing up to or past that time, let alone past that time.
Pastor & Latter-Day Saint Compare Beliefs – Reaction
