I went back to the blog and read the article and comments. This quote needs to be addressed. Wouldn't surprise him if who said what? That BKP said FARMS was trying to make money off the GAs? What else could Dan be talking about? Why wouldn't Packer have been the "only one to feel that way?" If that's what's being addressed here. Was it a natural thing to feel, that FARMS was trying to make money off of the GAs? Would anyone who knows anything about FARMS suspect such a thing? What is it that we don't know?
I'm wondering much the same thing. DCP has told us that there is something of a division among the Brethren regarding apologetics. Some appear to like it---e.g., Dallin Oaks---where as others, such as BKP, seem to have a few problems with FARMS. Elder Packer probably dislikes FARMS's encroachment on issues of doctrine, such as the 2nd Hill Cumorah issue.
