Its falsehood is immediately apparent from the fact that every anti-Mormon does in fact resort to resort to lying, twisting the truth, and making things up.
He's talking to Analytics in this response - the same person he told, on ZLMB, that since he was an anti-mormon he wouldn't object to the murder of Mormons.
I think the term anti-mormon is appropriate at times. The nuts who yell at Mormons and protest, or the Ed Deckerites who say Mormonism is Satanic in origin - those people really are "anti-mormons". (of course, not even they would condone murder, I suspect) But to use the term, with all its associations, against someone like Analytics is ludicrous.
Pahoran is one of the best anti-Mormons ever born. He's also a coward. If he had any courage, he'd come here.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
Well, I have to admit Harmony, that we have to wonder why Pahoran doesn't visit our forum, given that he'd be free to say pretty much anything he wants here. One has to acknowledge the confidence of DCP, BCSpace, and Droopy, they truly do believe in their respective missions.

Pokatator can't seem to grasp the concept of civil and respectful disagreement.
Oh well. He's a lying deceiver who discredits critics of Mormonism with his vacuous nonsense.

I can't really think of any good reason for Pahoran or any other believing Latter-day Saint to come here.
I mean, really. For the vast audience? For the substantive and respectful discussions? For the erudition of the place?

I can live with that.
And yes dear Danny I can live with you too.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably. bcspace

I wouldn't say I had that in mind, not to knock my buddy P., but, I've never recalled him being interested in the things you list here at all. Not even in the slightest little bit.

Actually, Pahoran did post here for a time. But, when he learned that the people here would dish it back to him just as well as he dished it out (without any mods to back him up), he tucked tail and ran. And he's never been back. I find his cowardice remarkable.
