The Real Reason FAIR BOARDS is CLOSING

[_OUT OF MY MISERY]

I just read on one message board that the real and LIKELY reason that FAIRboards are switching to MormonApologetics.org is because the church is trying to hide its history and doctrine from nosy reporters who would apparently only visit FAIRboards and not a totally non-Mormon sounding message board like MormonApologetics.org. Apparently this is all part of the Church's desire to get Romney elected. The reasoning is flawless! The sad thing is that three people have agreed with the initial post.

Just thought you should all be educated on why FAIRboards are really changing over.

This was posted by RedSoxin04 just now on FAIR

This make perfect sense to me well I will have to start writing to some of my favorite reporters,,,which I have many to make them aware of the FAIR BOARD

So if anyone anywhere has saved anything please,please keep it somewhere. Plan on downloading onto my USB drive to save for my favorite reporters...

There is a thread called MormonApologetics.com about 20 rows down on the front page...it explains what fair wants you to believe is happening. Luckily I have my sources that tell me what is really going on.

Oh, and did you know FAIR is filthy rich to? I guess these people get their information about FAIR from the same COB employee that secretly tells exactly how rich the church is....

Church hide its history? And they can if the FAIR message board goes away? That is a hoot. Most of Church history, warts and all is available at any Deseret Book. And all the false anti-Mormon stuff is available on "other" message boards. Any nosy reporter worth his computer paper could just run a google search and come up with anything he/she could find on a FAIR message board.

This fake and false story is just another anti attempt at tarring the Church.

edited to add: What possible benefit could the Church get out of Mitt Romney being president of the United States? All the Church would get out of it was a steady stream anti-Mormon invective, only now focused on an individual. No benefit at all.

Personally, and not to make this political: I think the person that would be most beneficial to the Church would be some really low-life scumball, who would do even more to tear down the Constitution, appoint judges who are ripping apart any semblance of the real meaning of the Constitutional protections, and lead the country off in increasingly sinful ways. Then the people who are lead by their consciences are pushed even closer to God. And we get closer to the end time. That is a day to be devoutly longed for.

As usual, Charity, a true FAIR classic, totally misses the point. I doubt very much that missionaries visiting the typical investigator urge that person to visit Deseret Book.

Yep, and the "antis" are also apparently the reason why FARMS Review doesn't engage in proper peer review.

Gotta love the classic TBM flip-flop of convenience.

I personally think that the person who would be most beneficial to the Church would be someone willing to be honest vis-a-vis Mormon history, policy, and culture.

Ah, I miss charity. As completely clueless as she is, I can't bring myself to dislike her. She's one of those totally guileless people in the world. She reminds me of that movie "Being There," only no one mistakes her pronouncements for wisdom.

This kind of smug, back-handed compliment is quite endearing (in a passive-aggressive way) when said to the person's face. But, it is particularly charming when gossiped behind her back.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Wade, methinks a nice laxative would brighten you right up. You know, good old Phillips, or perhaps those little ones that taste like chocolate...or for someone as acerbic as you, good old epsom salt in water with some lemon juice to take out the bitterness...

I have said that to her face. Would you prefer that I not be consistent?

I like charity. I also think she has a very thoughtless approach to Mormonism. It's not a "backhanded compliment." That's how I see her. Sue me.

Most people I have met find her incredibly mean-spirited. I don't. Does that make me smug?

As I've said before, you appear to believe that Bill Hamblin and I and the other editors of the FARMS Review conspired together either to invent Michael Watson's second letter whole cloth or, at least, to substantially misrepresent its contents.

As I have also said before, Professor Hamblin quoted every single word of the letter in his article, apart from its greeting, its date, and its signature. Every single one. So there can be no question of our having taken anything out of context or having omitted something that would fundamentally change its meaning.

Unfortunately, Professor Hamblin mislaid the original of the letter some years ago, and there's nothing I can do about that. But I saw it, and he saw it, and at least three other editors saw it. Our source checkers saw it, too.

If you want to accuse us of misrepresenting a message sent on official letterhead of the Office of the First Presidency, or of forging it outright, I hope you will do so. It would be, for a member of the Church and an employee of the Church's university, a very, very serious offense. I encourage you to put my career and my Church membership on the line. Contact Michael Watson and demand that I and my co-conspirators face justice!

Otherwise, stop insinuating that we're lying or falsifying. I grew tired of the suggestion a long, long time ago.


Sorry Dr. Peterson looks like we had to come in to rescue you again from the big bad rapid anti's that have such better arguements then you have. Ref is banned and anyone else that wants to go with him, keep badgering the posters here and we will do another round up.
