Can we hold the LDS church doctrinally accountable to its Twitter feed a la Mr. BCSpace's criterion?

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

While it might have been tweeted by an official Church Tweetsman, there is no confirmation that the Correlation Committee tweeted right behind, "Yea verily yea".

Is the assigned General Authoritweet asking members to register and post their Tweetimonies of the Tweetfulness of the Church?

When is a prophet tweeting as a prophet?
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

Can you tweet on a Sunday?

What if you tweet whilst naked, is that pornography?

Will the Holy Ghost tweet car key locations?

I can't believe the church made it to Twitter before they've enabled automatic withdrawal of tithing from peoples' checking accounts. I mean technology is great, but, you know, priorities.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
