Selling Zion?

What would Joseph Smith say? O ye of little faith?
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Jebus changed his mind; more land grab in Florida perhaps?
Guess he better cool the planet off a bit first before it's all under water.

As long as Church Authorities realize that "return to Missouri" will never happen, there is no reason not to sell the land and make some wise investments in the Beijing Stock Market. The Starship Nauvoo taking the Corporation back to Kolob should be the main goal.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Bingo! But the starship Nauvoo is just going to be used to destroy alien technology. We're not getting back to Kolob either.

That was from one possible timeline. I suspect the Church will use Senior Missionaries to build the Starship Nauvoo and have it guarded by a legion of Stripling Warriors. The Senior Missionaries will be assisted by replicant Handmaids who have been programmed in Authority obedience and submission.

I want to see someone try to hijack the Starship Nauvoo and be met with a bunch of guys whittling spears and whistling "We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet."
