Bill Hamblin Attacks the LDS Church and Its Leadership

[Guest]

Dang, this is a soap opera without end.

Where is the popcorn?

Those guys are now essentially de-facto admitting that there was such a piece, and now a back pedaling as fast as their little feet will spin.

It remains my policy not to publicly discuss the background of editorial and personnel decisions. But I think I should say that Bill Hamblin's brief account of the immediate background of l'affaire Smith-Dehlin, above, is correct.

I say this simply because I've noticed that others elsewhere, who don't actually know the back story (and who, by their own admission, haven't read the article in question), are deriding Bill for getting it wrong. He hasn't.

Wow! So they are claiming that they know for a fact that John Dehlin had the power to suppress an article in Daniel's own journal over Daniel's objections! Stunning!

Incredible!

Amazing!

I guess I don't need to take their complaints about alleged conspiracy theories and lack of evidence seriously.

Either what they are saying is true, which would totally suck for them.

Or they are lying through their teeth, which totally sucks for the Church.

They did it to Schryver

lol

I guess Schryver really has them snowed. No matter how morally repugnant he may be, he is undyingly loyal to the cause, and thus moral in their eyes.

It is we evil folk who did him in. Not his own keyboard.

Here it is, confirmation that it is real, and that there is still a chance we'll get to see it.

The world is a strange place. Very strange. But the fact that he tried to suppress the article doesn't mean that he will succeed. I'm sure you'll all get to read it eventually, one way or another.

I've got a copy, and it's a superb piece of work. I'm tempted to post it on the internet right now...

Hamblin is erupting with foul-mouthed rage:

The people over at Bedlam are among the most full-of-**** morons I've ever seen. And that's the nice way to put it.

And DCP, who also likes profanity:

I'm certainly not going to disagree.

Why, oh, why do they want to go after Dehlin like this?

[_Kishkumen]

Please, Bill Hamblin, post that Dehlin piece right now!!!!

PLEASE.

[_RockSlider]

painful stuff ... the old guard in the throws of death.

[_Stormy Waters]

Please, Bill Hamblin, post that Dehlin piece right now!!!!

PLEASE.

He can't. John Dehlin won't let him.

[_Kishkumen]

He can't. John Dehlin won't let him.

Yup.

Indubitably.

John Dehlin is now in control of the LDS Church.

Just ask that genius Bill Hamblin.
