Popular BYU Randy Bott Takes Heat for Comments

Thanks for quoting that blog entry, Chap.

I think the subtext is that neither the black male investigator or the white female stake missionary were intelligent enough to either think up or see through the ridiculous line of reasoning.

All the Best!

Which makes me think the encounter was largely fictitious, as all too many pulpit stories seem to be.

by the way, in the interest of shameless self-promotion, here is my own blog post on the matter.

Great stuff MsJack

if you really want stuff like this to not happen, if you really want to protest someone or something, the place to nail your theses is not Randy Bott’s office door. It’s 50 N Main St., Salt Lake City. Tell your leaders that it’s time for answers, and if they don’t have answers, then perhaps it’s time to admit that the church’s past policies concerning blacks were sinful and wrong, and apologize. Other religions have repented of their past racism. You can, too.

Just in case they ever manage to clear the Google cache:

I'm sure google modified it to make the church look bad. They have nothing better to do.

I hear you.

I mean, he actually has this black male investigator agreeing that the white Church leaders were right in not giving blacks the priesthood because they were so inferior they would abuse it and send themselves to hell.

Something about running on a playground with scissors comes to mind.

All the Best!

Isn't the current YM manual still racist in regards to counsel on who to date and wed. Guess the press release is a lie.

Yes, and apparently.

[_just me]

Actually, I think it means that the manual is wrong and the church condemns it.

The church doesn't know why God forced them to put that in the manual.

But they condemn it all the same.
