Because Oaks more than implied that they would. Why say what he did in that talk if they never had such an intention? It wasn't really completely honest...he implied that if the church still had the documents in their possession that they would publicly release them. 20 years later, it's still never been done.
It is my undestanding that Hoffman was a particulalry gifted forger. Some documents had been verified by experts and then turned out to be fake. I would think a prudent person, under those circumstances, would have a great deal of skepticism about document authenticity. That same prudent person would take the "fake until proven authentic" tack I would think. So don't release any of the stuff if you don't know for sure it is authentic. And that answer may neve be known for sure.

Really? Have you forgotten about your leaders? Don't they have men with magical powers and the ability to speak with god?
Tell me little girl, why did they not just use their special powers or ask god? Perhaps they weren't worthy at the time?
Perhaps the weren't worthy because they were jerking off too much in the COB? Perhaps they weren't worth because they were attending sex parties in the avenues?
Perhaps they are just men with zero special abilities except suckering the extended descendant bastard offspring of the early polygamist utahns?
You are such a naïve fool.

Or there's always "Option 3," as you suggested, charity---burn all of the documents. The point, in the end, is that the Church is clearly hiding something. Coggins7 and others have whined endlessly about anonymity on this messageboard, claiming that it's obvious that some of us must be "afraid". I wonder: is this also applicable to the Church?
