There's no better way to illustrate how revelation works in Mormonism:
1. Nelson wanted Mormon name change in Apr 1990
2. Hinckley rebuffs Nelson six months later (Oct 1990)
3. Nelson makes change as soon as he becomes prophet
4. Wendy Nelson explains what 'revelation' really is
Nelson wanted the Mormon name gone 30 years ago, but the prophets during those 30 years disagreed. The moment Nelson took over, he made the change under the guise of 'impression' from God.

This explains why revelations reflect the *personal* beliefs of prophets through history.
Nelson's personal goal to stop the name 'Mormon' also explains Brigham banning blacks & Joseph Smith's claimed revelations to make Emma accept polygamy, get Martin Harris to pay for BoM printing, destroy Hiram Page's seer stone, etc.

Once you can see it, everything makes sense.
Take 'magic' out of the equation and the problems all get answered like why:

The Book of Abraham doesn't match the source papyrus
DNA proves Indians are not Lamanites as Joseph Smith/BoM claim
Polygamy/Polyandry weren't from God

Now that we've had three major attacks on doubters and critics by church leaders in recent weeks/months, I wanted to outline #WhyILeftMormonism and why the problems are real and why the church is working so hard to keep members from looking beyond correlated church materials.
If Joseph Smith was a prophet and the Mormon church is true, the following would have happened:

1. We would see that his Book of Abraham translation matches the papyrus.

Instead we learn that we have the source material, and it's almost entirely wrong.

If Joseph Smith was a prophet and the LDS church is true, continued:

2. DNA from Native Americans would prove they were from Israel and thus Lamanites as Joseph claimed God told him in the Book of Mormon *and* revelation.

Native Americans came from Asia.

1/ Hillary Clinton’s email problems began in her first day as secretary of state. She insisted on using her personal BlackBerry for all her email communications, but she wasn’t allowed to take that phone on the seventh floor of the State Dept, because the entire 7th floor of…
2/ …the Harry S Truman building is a SCIF duly nicknamed Mahogany Row do to the amount of beautiful mahogany would that was used in building it.

But Hillary has always considered herself above following the rules, this was frustrating as hell.

1/ FISA what is the tale of this hidden black ops bastardization of the 4th Amendment.

Let us reach behind the curtain and tell this tale the way it should be told but never will be.
2/ The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 with amendments is a post-Watergate era reform which was intended to prescribe procedures for granting quasi-judicial authorization for electronic surveillance of persons engaged in espionage, terrorism, weapons or narcotics…
3/ …trafficking.

That's what they like to believe anyway, its original purpose, a tool to fight our enemies. to stop those that want to bring harm to our country, to keep us safe. But that's where it ended...

This is my story: I am 34. I have been fighting to get my children returned back from Child and Family Services in Winnipeg for 10 years. As I stated before I am Anishinaabe, I have four children. Two remain apprehended in CFS in Winnipeg.
I was 5 yrs old when me & my brother Gene were taken into care for one year. I was moved around in hotels and foster homes. I was moved about 5 times. I was placed w/ a white couple, an old native lady, a young native lady, and a worker who was drunk & left us in a hotel.
In one of those places I was abused, but I'm not ready to talk about that yet. In the hotel we were placed in we were left there for 1 week w/ hardly any food. The worker stayed in another room. She would come & go during the days and told us not to open the door if anyone came.

(THREAD) Erik Prince—Trump advisor; ex-head of a murderous mercenary army; would-be head of Trump's private spy agency; would-be head of a privatized U.S. army—is a dangerous liar. He just testified under oath. This is a live reading of the transcript. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ Not only did Prince appear without counsel—though he could be charged with a crime for any lie he told—he told the House Intel Committee he had no plans to *hire* an attorney. In the situation he's in—and given who he is—that statement is actually chilling. I'll tell you why.
2/ It suggests he may expect a pardon for any misconduct; or is so confident the GOP won't make him answer any questions he doesn't want to that he sees no risk of self-incrimination; or that he's that confident in his skills as a liar; or thinks his misdeeds can't be uncovered.

(THREAD) BREAKING: A recent revelation sheds new light on the Trump-Russia timeline—particularly the relationship Flynn had with the Trumps.
1/ Flynn first met Trump in mid-2015. Flynn says they hit it off quickly and were of a similar mind on foreign policy and national security.
2/ Yet in late March 2016—more than six months later—Flynn's name was nowhere to be found on Trump's foreign policy/national security team.
