So, FAIR isn't necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with the content. They are simply trying to ride the fence and cover themselves when it doesn't come to reality; yet they can't deny what Lds leaders have said about it through the years.

That was my impression, but I thought the wording of their position as a little odd. Matches the SOP for FAIR - waffle as necessary.

Which is also what they have to do with their constituency.

They can't very well label many of their leaders through the decades of being false prophets or mistaken, so they settle for accusing them of rumor-mongering.

And, with their constituencies, they've got some who don't believe it -- the scholarly types of which they interact the most. And then there's the conservative Lds politicos who tend to believe it-- and they need to walk carefully over what they say to them...and there's certainly plenty of this second category...otherwise Rammell wouldn't see them generating even enough to attend a meeting like this.
