I’m reasonably sure that amending someone’s comments within a quote, without explicitly showing what you’ve done, is yet another breach of acceptable posting behaviour. Please amend your behaviour and stay on topic.
It's a breach of rules and MG knows it. He's tried it before, repeatedly, and has been directly admonished by moderators for doing it. It's yet another example of his willful rule-breaking here.
I'm truly impressed by the mental gymnastics on display from Fibber Meister. It takes a remarkable amount of effort to be this wrong while trying so hard to seem right. Fibber should probably stick to his the floor routine, because his high-bar work is just embarrassing.
Fixed that for you. Fixed a second time. Linked and named quotes should not be modified. Please use original quoted text only on linked and named quotes. Using the quote function when altering another person’s statement can only happen if discarding the name and link, to avoid any confusion over the authenticity of the quote. -c-

Thank you canpakes. It’s a shame MG didn’t choose to correct it for himself. Had he been following Nelson’s council he would have shown kindness towards Everybody Wang Chung instead of maliciously amending his words.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Ha! There was no maliciousness involved. On the other hand, I can't speak for Wang.
The LDS Church is just trying to drag back in people to be tithe payers. If they drop tithing as mandatory for temple attendance, they'd go a long way towards legitimacy.
I think the Church needs a volume of claimed membership in order to have credibility in the religious sector. It’s why they report the number of people on the membership list, and go to great lengths to hide the number of people who actively support the Church by turning up on any given Sunday. They know they haven’t got 16 million people sustaining them as leaders, sustaining the Church. But they portray it that way because it makes them seem like leaders of a bigger organisation. In reality it’s a minority sect that’s managed to build up a massive hoard of money that they don’t know what to do with, and aren’t inspired to use it the way Christ would.
