Mormon think editor summoned to court of love

[_son of Ishmael]

This appears to be a drama with multiple narrative tracks. I am adopting a "wait and see" attitude. It is hard to believe the church could be so stupid as to invite a media shitstorm with seven weeks to go in the election. But being ahead of the curve isn't exactly the "prophetic" institution's strong suit, is it?

Could this be just some local Stake President acting on his own?

Getting exed for temple content is too easy. He wants them to take him down for the other facts.

From an "informant:"

I was just told that Trevor Holyoak, the workhorse behind the online resurrection of old-school FARMS, was behind David Twede's "outing."

(Of course, that's only significant if David blogged anonymously.)


Edited to add: My informant just corrected me, saying that if Trevor was not behind the actual "outing" itself he was at least involved with the blog takeover.

(The concept of a "blog takeover" is something I hadn't even considered. . . or believed possible. . . until today.)

Can you elaborate on this, Shades? I have to admit that I'm not surprised to learn that Holyoak is involved in all this. He was apparently the one who was busy cyber-stalking John Dehlin in an effort to mine "damning" quotes against him. He was also involved, I believe, in helping to assemble the FAIR Wiki "article" on Mormon Think.

Then again, I notice that you characterize him as "the workhorse behind the resurrection of FARMS," which makes me think that you're mistaken, and that you're actually thinking of Bryce Haymond. If the latter is the case, then my opinion of Haymond has diminished considerably.

I was contacted and asked to remove this information and out of respect I am happy to comply.

The media would LOVE a high profile excommunication to kick off the month of October. I don't have a dog in the hunt but I extend a slow clap for excellent execution.

Which media outside of the Salt Lake Tribune? Maybe I don't pay enough attention, but it seems like the media still doesn't pay all that much attention to the inner workings of the church.

From what we can see over here, it won't matter much. Looks as if the Romney campaign simply imploded this week. (And none too soon for most overseas America watchers.)

David emailed me tonight asking me to take the article off the MC. I did right away and removed his post quotes from the EMF.

Best of luck to him.
