Response to "Conclusion"
| [[../Other Concerns & Questions|Other Concerns & Questions]] | A FAIR Analysis of:
[[../|Letter to a CES Director]] |
FAIR and these unofficial apologists have done more to destroy my testimony than any anti-Mormon source ever could.
—"A Letter to a CES Director," April 2013
—"A Letter to a CES Director," April 2013
FAIR confirms polyandry and the rock in the hat translation. Both of these issues usually cause severe cog dis in members. They did with me. I mean, once the rock in the hat story was confirmed, the whole thing collapsed because the rock in the hat ruins the official story of ancient prophets creating gold plates for Joseph and the testimony of the witnesses of the gold plates (since Joseph never used the plates anyway).
