God wink
n.— «Ponder it in your minds, why all the sugar being pushed today, is it just a God Wink? NO! These are not God Winks! No, God has not given you a wink to let you know he is with you. Whenever you see a Word of Wisdom being fulfilled, don’t be so foolish to think it’s a God Wink, letting you know everything is okay, for I am with you.» —“HERE IS WISDOM, Learn why you hate the prophet ART BULLA!” by Joshua Gemmell Usenet: alt.religion.mormon July 17, 2004.
