I've been thinking about the many changes that Nelson has instituted since he and Windy have taken the helm of the LDS Corp. It seems to me that he has been slowly (quietly) undoing a lot of semi-progressive changes that had been implemented by those former know-nothing profits. It is clear that Nelson was in the camp that was part of that late 1980 campaign to push the JC name and drop the Mormon titles. Of course, the avoidance of the nickname was hooey to the Hinkster and the church went a direction that Nelson and other fossils appear to have regret.

So what has Nelson accomplished so far?

-Ministering (No more HT-VT)

-One Priesthood Quorum (No more HP)

-Name change from Mormons/LDS

-More youth participation at temples

-Elimination of the troubling BSA membership

-World Tour to promote tithing

-Affirmation of not baptizing children of SSM

-Priesthood presence at ALL Relief Society meetings

Feel free to add any that I've missed.

At his stage in life, he's near perfected. He only needs to be lifted up on a chariot of fire like Elijah to make his exit flawless.

It would be kind of a weird road trip. To leave this planet on a chariot of fire. Hehe. (Better than in a ball of fire?)

On the day of my grandfather's funeral, in Ogden, Utah (1972,) my siblings and I were playing @ a park near our grandparents home. When to our astonishment a ball of fire flew directly over our heads on a straight trajectory to wherever it was going. It originated somewhere in Montana to Wyoming then over Idaho before crossing the skies in Utah that clear blue day. Scientists and astronomers determined it may have landed somewhere in British Columbia or Alaska, but no one knows for sure where it started or where it ended.

Now I can joke that my grandpa rode out on a fireball. He made a grand departure. ;)

It was caught on film by a photographer flying over Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons (and was named "The Great Daylight Fireball") (It was 46 years ago to this day + 1, ie, Aug 20, 1972.)

TSCC should arrange for him to be “changed in a twinkling”. They’d save a fortune on funeral costs. Maybe their connections in Mexico can find a good “soup” guy.

There was some teaching way back in Primary or SS, that if you lived to be 100 and it happened during the Millenium, you would be twinkled.

So does this mean that even in Sunday Relief Society class, a member of PH will sit in to 'check up on them'?

According to my TBM mom, yes!

Also, their weekly activities as well.

I want to see some God Damn revelations.

How much will the economy go up?

When will world hunger not be a problem?

When will the Mormon church allow its farms to produce food for the hungry and not for profit. (This one isn't so much a revelation but more of an actual business decision.

When will the Prophet of The One And Only True Church going to feel the need to instruct it's members to not be such total AssHoles?

Haha. Nice. But we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for it to happen.
