DS claims modern Church is "demystified" and miracle-lacking.

The first phase of Mormonism was dominated by visions, angels, and direct involvement from God. Those experiences are still celebrated and taught. However, they are only used as a legitimizing credential for a demystified church. The current phase of Mormonism is missing the direct appearance or involvement of God, angels, and visions. There is a disconnect between the miraculous events upon which Mormonism is based, and current church events.
