Think about the LDS that Nelson's "revelations" are driving away. Why have they been LDS anyway if not for continuing revelation? Then, when the new prophet announces revelations, it shocks them out of the church? While the LDS talk the talk about continuing revelation, when it's actually claimed by the prophet, many of them duck for cover. They don't walk the walk.

How does one "witness" something by being "absent"?
It is absolute nonsense, but treated as if it were weighty testimony.
There is something about this that seems to sum up Mormonism, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Maybe the Russians have a pee-pee tape of Nelson too.
