Yes, that indeed would be interesting, but I'm thinking you're hoping it's nowhere to be found...

The church doesn't release records from excommunications. So this is all we have.

But it's trustworthy because Quinn is a faithful believer and apologist.

We have an eye witness testimony.
Isn't that the kind of thing Mormon's rely on?

On the contrary - we have the testimony of the person to whom it happened! A fervent believer in Mormonism!

You're claiming that Quinn, Mormon apologists, wasn't a witness to his own excommunication?

Among Mormon apologists I'm sure no one (except maybe Quinn himself) considers him to be an apologist. He is a darling of Mormon critics though.
