This is the first time I have watched the changing of Ghawd's profit from the outside looking in.

With the last 3 profits, I remember the church producing some cheesy video biography of the new chief. It's usually an hour of blather about their idyllic childhood, their super awesome righteousness as they came up through the ranks, some tough decision or hardship they went through as a young man, some super awesome spiritual thing they did or experienced as a GA, a bunch of brown nosing from other Q15 about how prepared and special the new guy is, and finally a closing weepy testimony from the new boss.

So is Nelson's out yet? Shit, I could write the script myself.

Expect such a production after GC, when he is sustained by the membership at large, not before.

It's called timing

Or time delay. Enough time to hush dissenters and broadcast the unanimous vote.

Who would dare dissent? Isn't it a given that ghawd wanted Nelson (HA-ha) to lead the church, else why would he have kept Nelson (HA-ha!) alive and so healthy?

All it takes to find the guiding hand of ghawd is faith and a certain amount of gullibility.

I think you can be assured that the sappy tribute has already been produced and is ready to show on the many platforms that the morg uses. LDS.org, LDS Living, YouTube, probably Instagram and Facebook, and if the church doesn't do it, it will be "shared" by any 100's of members who can't wait for their Non-mo friends to see it and become a new member.

Has there ever been a single convert baptism that was directly attributed to a prophet's video?

-Probably not.

Bearing one's testimony has turned out not to be very effective, either.

All those missionaries, testify, and most get 0 baptisms.

What a waste.
