Do the Mopologists who make videos such as the one in question not realise how inadequate and off the point they are? Or do they only care about putting out a video to "defend the Book of Abraham" that will comfort those LDS who know nothing about the Book of Abraham debate, such as it is?
Some members don't even have to watch the mopologist video it's just enough that someone faithful has answered and says it's okay to keep believing. Some more will watch and that is far enough, only a few know or will go further. I think they write off anyone that gets introduced to problems and "falls away" as someone less valiant anyway.

Members who refuse or are incapable of challenging ridiculous truth claims peddled by Mormonism are NOT valiant or brave. They are lazy learners. They are brainwashed and toe the line like cattle and sheep being kept in pens. They keep their mouth's shut. They close their minds. They are less intelligent and are not valiant in the cause of truth. They are not the kind of people I would hang around with.

Amen.

No Dan! There is no King's name written anywhere on your forehead. I don't care how you manipulate the spots and wrinkles with your fingers, there is no King's name written therein! Period!

No amount of interpretation can produce a King's name on Dan Peterson's forehead anymore than one can be produced in the label of Facsimile No. 3. The same principle applies in both cases. There is no King's name! Period.

Let everyone understand that and come to proper terms.

And it appears to me that those who defend the church are happy to just oh say anything they wish so as to make sure people do not actually study things out. As long as they end with a positive note and testimony, I suspect the majority of regular members will not bother worrying about it, as you note.

However, Trump might be able to draw a map on Dan's forehead to a hidden document cache with a sharpie.
