I cannot help but feel somewhat bemused concerning the church essays that have surfaced recently and others that will be published on the LDS web page.
The first two that have been issued basically infer, rather strongly I feel, that there have been major inconsistencies regarding pivotal and important historical church events, and which are casting a great degree of doubt on the church's claims of possessing a divine mandate. There are seemingly more such essays to come.
Where, I wonder, is this all leading us to and why the apparent rush all of a sudden, in what appears a short timetable, to get this information out now, albeit grudgingly or without fanfare, and into the public domain?
Are these "admissions of past guilt" satisfying those higher up the critical pecking order, who have been demanding more transparency?
Are there more "revelations" of a much more explosive and shocking nature about to come forth?
As we await further such statements from the church, could this I wonder, be causing the delay of the much heralded "surprises", which we are told has the potential to cause major problems for the church?
I cannot understand why the church leadership even feel they need to issue these public statements at this time, unless there is a gun poised precariously in their direction.
