My memory's a little fuzzy but I do remember that it covered how people would get paid, division of labor, and things like that. What stands out in my mind is a prime directive and I remember it because it was specifically bolded and underlined. It was about making sure that there was always a clear...

just for what it's worth, i've seen the 1995 protocol. or at least I've seen parts of it.

I swear on my life that the letter is legitamite. I saw it with my own eyes. i guess it could be that someone else wrote the letter and put hamblins name on it. But I swear that I saw that letter and that text arrive at Church headquarters.

Hello everyone. I think I can lay at least a part of this issue to rest. some time ago, I had a close friend within LDS Church headquarters and I recall when Bro.

Arnold Friend....*shudder* Arnold Friend, the moniker, not the poster, gives me the willies, too. Is he the antagonist in a book or review I've read? An evil character in a movie or a play? I can't place that name, but it's familiar... KA Unfortunately, I've heard this before. :( I can't help the n...

The appropriate follow-up question is: Do those members who were warned against reading anti-Mormon literature have a right to feel upset when they learn that they were really just being warned against learning the unpleasant truth about the Church? Upset? Sure. But really there's nobody to blame a...
