[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

lots of work to produce 52 pages...............and you wont even sign your real name to it

Jesus you people are scary. Guaranteed that's the first thing you looked for.

I must of missed it. Whose names are signed to the essays again?
And who actually wrote the essays?

That's pretty epic, Rollo. I would only say, about the first part of the essay, that the Church has promoted the essays in Deseret News and the Church News, so they are getting the word out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the essays mentioned in an upcoming Ensign as well (although they should print them there too, since that would make them "scripture" to many LDS).

Perhaps they've been mentioned in the LDS press, but what I've been hearing from active members is they can't find the essays when searching at LDS.org.

then theyre idiots coz i found it on my first try................if you search it on google it comes up on RT(ugh!) and NPR and a bunch of other news outlets

ya buddy............you missed it by a LONG shot.................you aren't even in the same planetary orbit. the essays don't claim to be one persons take on things like Yollo's essay does

Ahh, you're right. I did miss it. Because somehow that makes a difference. Certainly a large organization run by men who claim to talk to God, couldn't be bothered to place their names on such unimportant documents. I mean think of all the work it would be to do that. Nor would any of the actual writers want credit for them, as they are, after all, not that big a deal. God does work in anonymous mysterious ways.

you were trying to pass off your own personal anecdotal "evidence" as actual evidence that the essays were impossible for members to find..................that's very dishonest............so i used my own anecdotal "evidence" to contrast yours

Pray tell, have you even read my paper?

some of it

why don't you post it here tooo? (then it would be ethically okay not to put your name to it.........i understand i am one scary dude (i guess)))

of course it makes a difference you blithering baboon!!!!!!! if i write an essay with a bunch of "I" and "me" pronouns it means its my own damn opinion
