Speaking of Paul H. Dunn...

[Guest]

Isn't it great how the Brethren got BYU employee Lynn Packer fired for blowing the whistle on Paul H. Dunn's fabrications? Meanwhile Dunn himself was given “emeritus” status. Stay classy, Mormon leadership. Choose the right - unless it's embarrassing to the guys in the COB.

You sure you have your facts straight on this one?

Sure as Paul H. Dunn was a St. Louis Cardinal!

Or as sure as Lynn Packer wasn't a reporter for the Arizona Republic.

As long as you continue to defend priestcraft, bcspace, the longer your soul will remain tainted.

Well, I think we can coin another apt term here, in addition to Fortigurn's Lazy Research. That would be Buffalo Chip; something that describes most or all of Buffalo's posts here, a useless steaming pile of false information.

This is what Mormons resort to when they've lost an argument: stamping their feet and childish scatological name calling. :)

Did Dunn ever write or say anything about what goes on and what is said in the meetings amongst the 15?

Any secrets that we need to know about?

Any books they possess?

Any Satanic chants the brotheren say after they discuss church business?

Anything about receiving death threats?

bcspace, how exactly did Buffalo fudge the facts?
How did that change this issue in any substantial way?
I'm very curious as to what angles of this story I may have missed.

Morley asked a question on a thread in Celestial which pertains to this topic. This was my response:

Would you rather that Elder Dunn had not been exposed?

Yes.

I enjoyed Elder Dunn's talks. He was one of the best speakers that the Church had.

So what if some of his stories were made up? He probably could have made quite a bit of money putting them all into a novel. Instead, he devoted his life to the Church. His messages were positive gospel messages. If he had been a preacher in any other Church, he would have likely been hailed.

Bah! We Mormons are way too judgmental. And Ex-Mormons don't tend to fall too far from the tree.

I'll probably get clobbered by folks on both sides of the aisle (as usual), but this is exactly how I feel.

Who cares? Who was Elder Dunn hurting? Why did Lynn Packer feel the "need" to put together a huge presentation to Sunstone to expose him?

And, frankly, how stupid was he, if he really didn't think that, as an employee of BYU, there wouldn't be some form of retaliation? Good grief!(as my friend, Harmony, so often says) Did he not know what side his bread is buttered on? I mean, really....if you are going to agree to work for BYU, then you better be prepared to play their game or reap the consequences.
