What, God only talks to President Nelson at night? That wasn't always the case with prophets, at night Joseph was usually with Emma and the angel with the drawn sword never seemed to stop by when she was around. And what are all of these "incredible" messages that have "increased exponentially" anyway? Church going from 3 to 2 hours (did God bother explaining why we all had to suffer that extra hour for 38 years before he changed his mind)? Letting female missionaries wear pants? Is that all that the Almighty Creator of the Universe has to talk about with his mouthpiece?
The first lady of Mormonism and others have noted before how God talks to the current Latter-day Saint prophet in the night.
In a recent Church News video interview, Wendy Watson Nelson sheds additional light on those moonlit messages.
“My husband will say during the night, ‘OK, Dear, it’s happening,’” she says. “I just remain quiet and then soon he’s sitting up at the side of the bed writing, now with a lighted pen that someone gave him.”
Wendy Nelson explains that the number of nighttime messages coming to her husband since he became the church’s 17th president has “increased exponentially.”
It is, she adds, “incredible.”
Barf. President Nelson scribbling in the night with a lighted pen doesn't impress me. Where are the angels? Where are the major revelations? "Dear, it's happening". What an incredible load of freakin' self-delusional bullcrap.
And isn't it interesting that Aunt Wendy is the first prophet's wife ever to go around touting her witness of the process of revelation as it happens? What, did all the other prophet's wives sleep through it or something? Is it maybe, just maybe a teeny weeny bit possible that Aunt Wendy likes attention and this is the best possible way of a woman getting it in the world of Mormonism?
Maybe I'm just a jerk, but this kind of thing turns my stomach.
