Mormon Gulag Short Film

[_Daniel Peterson]

Are FAIR and MI the only LDS apologists? Is that what you're saying?

Not quite. But they represent a major chunk of the serious practitioners. There's virtually no serious Mormon "apologist" who isn't linked, in some way, with one or the other organization, or both.

If you know of some third body of apologists out there on whom the Church would be likely to depend in the matter of West Ridge Academy -- assuming that it's paying much attention at all to the issue (which has not, so far as I'm aware, been demonstrated) -- perhaps you can identify them for us?

I'm sure the official apologetic response is forthcoming.

Knowing the eventful timeline in front of me (and some of us), I'm glad to now have these explicit denials from Mr. Peterson readily available to refer back to later on, when it all hits the fan, so to speak.

From whom?

Well then, for the record:

I've never said that we'll never say anything about this issue.

We have no plans to do so. I don't expect that we will. I think it overwhelmingly likely that we won't. It's not our kind of thing. We've never so much as discussed it. I've never heard anybody even mention it. I have no reason to believe that anybody at the Maxwell Institute is paying any attention to it.

But, should one of us feel like saying something about it at some future point, I certainly reserve the right to do so. I like freedom and have no intention of binding myself.

In any event, we're not "waiting by the phone," Salt Lake hasn't asked us for help, this isn't the kind of thing we've ever commented on, I have no reason to believe that Salt Lake is paying much attention to the matter, and I have no idea -- perhaps no more than he does -- what Gadianton was talking about.

Good stuff, man. Thanks for the smile.


I look forward to the journey ahead.
