Rumored Monson Revelation

[_Cicero]

Talks will be given. Children will be bored. Passive voice will be used, and in triplicate.

Didn't we have a revelation last year about not needing janitors?

[_mercyngrace]

also, the fact that he named Russell m Nelson as the source as credibility to his claim. Denver is an attorney and I can't imagine him name dropping needlessly.

I'm an attorney, and I needlessly drop names all the time. Just ask David Bednar.

I stand corrected.

for what it's worth, I didn't mean that attorneys are immune from name dropping but that he might be more careful with attributions, being perhaps more familiar with the dangers of online defamation than the average joe.

Russel M. Nelson, at the bar (no, not that bar, silly!): "But your Honor, this man clearly defamed me!"

Judge: "How so?"

Russel M. Nelson: "He said that I promised something interesting would happen at the next General Conference, and I have here 400 pages of affidavits from members around the globe affirming that, in fact, nothing did!"

[_Nomomo]

Isn't Russell M. Nelson almost 90? I think he might be older than Monson.

ETA: Just checked Wikipedia, Nelson is older. He is 88

"One, two, three. Let's go shopping"

It will blow the doors off R.C. Wiley's After-Thanksgiving-Sale. Women and children throughout the land will flock to their favorite shopping places and praise the Lord with their credit cards in hand.

Well I can tell you one thing...it will not be anything of any significance. Those of you old enough to remember will recall that when Kimball opened the door to men of all races to be included in the priesthood clubroom...it was done mid-conference and with much fan fare...ie breaking news flashes, news conferences etc...if it is something of any significance...they are certainly taking the low quiet road by holding off until October conference for an anouncement...so it can't be anything too important...but then really...when was the last time that the Mormon God had anything important to say

Yeah ~ defamation probably isn't the right legal term but it was all my google search turned up when I tried to figure out the legal ramifications of spreading an internet rumor or attributing a statement to someone that they didn't make. There was a letter that was distributed a few years back asking church members to stop quoting GAs when they speak off the cuff or in venues where their remarks aren't subsequently published so it seems there is some sensitivity about being misquoted or taken out of context, or perhaps even about not having the privacy to speak to a limited audience without seeing their words circle the globe via the internet.

by the way, Denver has updated his blog to address his description of the PEF as a "revelation".

I understand the critical response to the PEF not really being a 'Great Revelation" but was it really given as such to the Church? They called it a revelation? Can anyone point me to where they did?
