The church's financial arm has made changes reporting methods and now files aggregated reports in line with federal requirements. The quarterly reports now meet all SEC standards, and over a dozen have been filed since the SEC settlement. That settlement also prohibits the Church from denying wrongdoing and demands corrections if post-settlement statements are misleading. Ensign Peak Advisors, must file Form 13F quarterly, listing all major stock holdings; these reports are accessible on the SEC’s official website.
Where did you get this information?
Do you dispute it? If so, chapter and verse.

You apparently don't read my posts. I am under no obligation to let you know every time I use online search to look up information.

You still haven't engaged with the actual post and the information which has been provided.

Fibber, where did you get this information?
It sounds like a typical AI response, but since the mental gymnast argues he isn't cutting and pasting AI, he should have references and be able to post them.

Exactly. It sure looks like Fibber is, well, Fibbing again.

At this point I think everyone on this board (lurkers and investigators included) can agree that Fibber is the worst missionary of all time.

Yes. The Mental Gymnast is also consistent in posting his personal attacks, especially this summer. He's set quite the record! Although being consistent in personally attacking members of this board for the last 4 months straight doesn't really have the cachet he apparently thinks it does. Maybe he should stick to his fibbing missionary work.

I suppose I can't expect you to change your behavior at this point. It is what it is. The principle of repentance and forgiveness seems to be a foreign concept to you. We all have people that we think have wronged us or those we're close to throughout our lives. It's worth considering that when we carry those grudges around and don't get them off of our backs, those grudges can weigh us down in one way or another. It can show up as anger and/or a number of other manifestations that are really not spiritually/mentally healthy. The fact that you're considering a list that "goes on forever" seems to show that you have not been able to relieve yourself of a certain burden.

Jim speaks the truth. Jacob Hansen does more harm than good. He a modern day ark-steadier. As much as the brethren hate outspoken ex-Mormons, I think they may hate dealing with outspoken ark-steadiers more.
You've perfectly captured the dilemma. It's a classic paradox: is the outspoken critic or the overzealous defender the bigger headache? The brethren very well might prefer to deal with a predictable, external threat than with an internal “ally” who's causing chaos by trying to steady the ark.
