"I did not make that statement. I do not believe that statement. "The statement, on occasion, has been attributed to others of the First Presidency and the Twelve. None of the Brethren made that statement." President Packer has sent a letter to mission presidents requesting their help in clarifying this matter among missionaries and members, and has had posted on some Internet sites carrying the statement a notice that he did not make this declaration.

wow, I'm not sure what is crazier, people believing that to be true, or the fact that nearly 7 years after an official statement like that was made, they have to repeat it because it is still going around.
