It's really remarkable how much of the (alleged) email is devoted to talk of money, donors, and revenue streams. Will we hear jokes about "gold faucets" and so forth in Kerry Shirts's film of the next FAIR conference, I wonder? (Provided that they allow him to come, of course.) The extend to which we have been deceived is astonishing.

Screwing with church finances, isn't that the sort of thing people get ex'ed for?

They can't do that, who is DCP goin to turn to once he starts to struggle with his testimony and wants to change the church from the inside out? He will be forced into reorganizing the NOM's. It is so much easier if Dehlin just kept it organized.

Of course when DCP takes over, the NOM's will have to become more militaristic and judgmental.

Ultimately, the calculus is this: Who is healthier for Mormonism? Dehlin, or DCP? In this election year, Dehlin is calling for conferences, greater understanding, and better answers. Dan Peterson, on the other hand, is finagling behind the scenes with Greg Smith to publish a "hit piece" that's meant to portray John Dehlin as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

What does that tell you?

I think the church has tried to stray away from high profile excommunications in recent years

Oh yes. And with Monson at the top there is a call for kinder and gentler Mormon voices. Even Packer is forced to toe the line. The election year will cost many jobs. DCP, pack your bags. You're out.

I'm wondering how much one issue of the Review nets the Editor. 500$? 1,000$? 2,500$? 5,000$?

*Hammer hits nail head.

There is far to much at stake here, especially during this white horse run for the presidency, to publicly crucify John Dehlin.

The basic story has been posted to exmormon.org (although they won't link here for *insert exmormon.org board owner's reason*) so that might account for our increase in traffic which is at a record high today.
