Ok!

Twenty years ago you and your ignorant posse had already driven most Mormons away from this site with old tropes long debunked and generally regarded as far less than factual.

As stated previously, you are entitled to your own facts up until individual appearance at the Judgement Bar of God.

That's the thanks we get for posting stuff from official LDS sources?


Just follow your Scriotures and everything should work out for you:

Boyd K. Packer in his address to Church Educators "The Mantle is Far Far Greater than the Intellect".
 
 Published in Brigham Young University Studies 21 (Summer 1981): 259-278.
 
 
In an amazing declaration Michael Quinn reports that Elder Packer told him when he was being interviewed for his position
at Brigham Young University that he has a hard time with historians "because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting:
it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth,
but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting."
 
 (This is a telling statement of Elder Packers repressed shadow material!)
 
In D. Michael Quinn On Being a Mormon Historian (And Its Aftermath),
ed. George D. Smith, Faithful History: Essays On Writing Mormon History (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1992), 103.
 
 
The new traditionalists contend that objectivity is, in fact, impossible and that history should therefore be written with certain pre-understandings, including that God exists and that Joseph Smith was his prophet.”
