Interpreter Takes Aim at Givens, Hardy, and Mason

[_consiglieri]

These are some of the fruits of consiglieri's apostolic coup.

Still working hard on part 2!

Just when was the last revelation to come from the LDS Prophet?

I'm telling you, Philo: the man with the gift and calling for Mormon revelation was slain in the summer of 1844. You will not soon hear a great revelation in Mormondom, just as no one has heard one since his lifetime.

I am seeing how you arrive at that all right. But to what effect? I mean, so one gets all the revelations, light, etc., then dies before anyone else is chosen and the power is usurped. O.K., so now what? Is God actually this scatter brained?! And the revelator's revelations aren't all that accurate, correct, or inspiring either. So just WTF??? It honest to absolute goodness doesn't make sense to me anymore. What on earth does all this chicancery actually accomplish for God and His plan, presuming the Mormon idea might even be in the ballpark about such a thing? If this is running the show, count me as singularly unimpressed with much of it.

I think that means you're "there".

If I could just figure out where "there" is. Is it here?

To borrow a phrase, you saw through a glass darkly. Then you shattered the glass entirely.

You can't put those pieces back together and act like you didn't break the glass.

But.......... but........ it wasn't my fault!!!! I was just turning around to grab another book off the knowledge shelf and the glass of testimony was in the way and I bumped it off the table and it shattered.........

You can't put the blinders back on. That's just how it is.

I think the Interpreter is acknowledging there is LDS backlash to those Church essays and a push toward embracing LDS legends once again. Going with the legends utilizes the staunch apologetic approach of denial rather than any pretzeled logic involved in explaining historical and doctrinal sore spots. "It all happened and we've got a steady flow of revelations locked up in the vault to prove it."

Plus it helps make the Interpreter the standard bearer of traditional Mormonism in stark contrast to those so-called "revisionists" at the Maxwell Institute. "Gimme that old time religion - if it was good enough for Brother McConkie it is good enough for me"
