I post this so SeattleUte has an excuse to post more diatribe. I post this neither as an endorsement of its linguistic claims nor its claims about the source being Elder Nelson.

Talking about throwing softballs - this is more like tee ball.

I already stated my point, though it would be good if others knew of legitimate sources that have done research in this area and posted those links here.

What point was that?

I think this speaks for itself.

Lebowski, it's not an urban legend if an apostle said it, is it?

Perhaps. Except that he didn't say it.

"Elder Nelson did not write this account, according to his office in Salt Lake."

This story has been floating around for a while and has been debunked as an urban legend.

Shoot. I thought we had something else like the 70's apostles talking about a white Jesus visiting the Mayans and Hawaiians.

I bet an anti wrote it. It's a pretty good troll/parady.
