In October, I put out a paper showing that Monson had not borne testimony of any of Mormonism's core unique claims in General Conference the last 8 years. FAIR recently responded to it in a long article that quotes about four dozen *statements about* the Restoration from Monson. That these statements are not testimonies of said claims is easily seen in the way that multiple church manuals define the term “testimony” and in the way that most members define it. Moreover, it can be shown *empirically* that there is a phenomenon here that needs explaining. See:

“Correcting FAIR and Looking Empirically at Monson’s ’Testimonies’”

Thoughts?

why am I NOT SURPRISED when Mormons tweak things (facts/truth) to suit their church-loyalty goals?

It's only been happening for .... Since Day One!

The mental gymnastics that go into that..... And to do it over and over and over.

Tommy could put this one to rest easily. Just do it. Testify, Tommy.

Very good sleuthing. Tommy doesn't testify because he KNOWS, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that JS was a fraud, TSCC is a fraud and he, himself, is the biggest fraud of all.

This reminds me of a quote from Jeff Holland, "If, in a court of law, you were accused of being a Latter-day Saint, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" It looks like Monson would easily be acquitted!
