The original thread concerning these changes was getting too long, so I started a fresh one

Thanks to John Larsen on Postmormon.org for doing the scans

As I've never viewed the Introduction as canonical, I welcome the change.

Umm, I was told that BRM was creating scripture in Seminary. So Booya! You are wrong.

I don't feel obligated to agree with your seminary teacher.

For what it's worth, I don't feel obligated to believe my own teachers, either. ;)

Why not? I felt the spirit. You can't deny my witness.

Wow! That is a major change, and a positive one, in my opinion. I think this is clear recognition of science and its overwhelming case against the "principal" claim.
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)
