Brunson, the co-founder of Idaho digital marketing firm ClickFunnels, posted a video on Sept. 16 in which he appears to contradict the church’s statement.
Brunson claimed M. Russell Ballard personally introduced him to Tim Ballard as a potential partner for O.U.R.’s activities. All three men spoke about that work together, he said.
“It’s interesting, because the way I found out about Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad was actually from Elder Ballard,” Brunson said in his social media video (0:54 in the video). “He personally called me and asked me to help Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad. I have literally sat in the room with Elder Ballard and Tim Ballard as we discussed these things and these ideas.”
The spirit of discernment? Is that time spent by an Apostle supposed to be full time working for the Church? Did Elder Ballard receive anything in return for this introduction?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.
Of course he did, he lived his whole life credulously swallowing lies about Joseph Smith if they promoted what he wanted to believe, why would he have any skepticism at all towards Tim?
