Is there a way to figure out which page numbers go with which articles with the online version? I'd like to verify this for myself. Not that I don't believe you, but it seems bizarre to lie about something so openly when things like this can be easily verified.


Just use the search button in Internet Explorer and search for the whole word case 'hat'. It will not show up at all in 3 of his 5 articles.

Scratch always claims that he is anti-mopologist , not anti-Mormon.

I believe Scott will readily admit that he does not speak for the Church (nor Mormonism in general) and neither does FAIR.

If one accuses Scott of lying for the Lord, like Scratch's claim, it would seem they are anti-Scott. How does he then make the jump that the person is anti-Mormon?

John's comments in the other thread almost makes me feel sorry for these men, as they are being abandoned on all sides. With the added insult of the likes of the wolf in sheep's clothing having the ear of those whom they have battled for all these years, and they now being censored by the same.

mopologist ... the new anti-mormon

Ouch!

It is a hallmark of the Mopologist to identify his own ego with his vision of the LDS Church so thoroughly that any attack on him becomes an attack on the Church.

Please enlighten us, ldsfaqs. What other explanation is there other than that he's lying?

Thanks in advance.

I too would like to know what one is to call the misrepresentation of articles that do not mention hats as articles that do mention them.

Why all the fudging? In something as trivial as this, why stretch the claim by including items that do not actually fit?

This is exactly the kind of behavior that gives apologetics a bad name.

LOL! You bump a 2 month old thread to throw out an insult and not even give any alternative explanation for your objection? Bizarre.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.
