nationalnewscampaign - I am so with you on this. I want it to go away completely - not just fall like a house of cards, but like a 9.7 earthquake. Gone in a serious way and FOREVER.
But you question was will TSCC stop existing the way we know it? I would say YES to that. The way we knew it might be a better way of saying it since the doctrine changes nearly daily now. This back-peddling that is taking place is going full speed ahead. If there are any thinking TBMs left on earth, they must be a confused. I mean one day believe this, the next day believe that........forget whatever you believed last month, very Orwellian with TSCC as Big Brother! Just put your previous thoughts/beliefs down the memory hole and "PRESTO MANIFESTO" they never existed.
Things have been changing (DOCTRINES) off and on since TSCC began. But the internet has totally caused it to accelerated just to maintain any membership at all. I think that one of the first huge changes that certainly made members question TSCC was the whole polygamy deal....which of course the polygamy essay now doesn't really address. Some members were so freaked out about that, that they left and started new TSCCs, RLDS and FLDS to name two. That is a big deal based on changes in doctrine.
Polygamy was THE PRINCIPLE, it was eternal, infallible, written on gold plates, straight from God and yet when Utah wants statehood, it gets thrown under the bus. Bill Mahler has a portion of a stand-up on this; go to 23:45 on this site - six videos will come up, click on the top left one which shows a few audience people. It is the one that is over 54 minutes in total length.

It is very funny.
But it also shows how TSCC is in the survival business - survival of itself that is.
I hope TSCC goes away completely, but I know that it is going to change so much that it is no longer recognizable from the TSCC that JS started. This is necessary because as one of the profits said (I think it was a profit, maybe some other big wig), the entire church rests on whether or not you believe JS was a profit. Since everything about him is a disaster as it comes out, I can't see how it can survive even close to what it is now (today) or tomorrow, (when it will be different again.)
I BELIEVE that there is an October surprise. Tom Phillips has too much integrity to pull a JS con job on us. If you don't think so, listen to the podcast of the interview, 4 hours in length. His integrity practically drips from your computer or whatever device you are listening to it on. Just wait and see. Tom, please keep on with your project. Legal crap takes a long time.
Posters, BE PATIENT! One of the posters said "One big announcement won't bring TSCC down," but do take a look at what the one big announcement "No more polygamy" did to TSCC. Big impact. With the internet and global communication, ONE BIG STATEMENT could rock it to the foundations if not actually taking it out.
