I came across a post over there that said JD had requested Smith's paper to be published. What's up with that?

Then the apologists were saying that if the paper is published, the critics won't believe it is the original paper, because it's so tame.

Then Will said that critics will believe the paper is the original because they blow everything out of proportion.


Sounds like both sides have learned the lesson of the 110 pages very well.

This is the lost 116 pages situation all over again. How can this possibly be resolved?

I have heard the same, Dean Robbers. I don't know.

Well, my source read what was most likely an early version of the paper--i.e., as it existed before it was quashed.

My source also says that Dehlin was fortunate he got it quashed, since it was calculated to make Dehlin look really, really bad.

Seems more likely that it would be much less of a hit piece than any anti Mormon work. Still, let's see it first before we jump to conclusions.



Excellent point. Let's see the accompanying cement bucket and fish before we definitively call it a hit piece.
