Here’s one example. The 70 in the story, when asked how he knew these things, referred back to a time when he had more access to the 12 because there was only one quorum of 70. That would mean that he would have been called prior to April of 1989, when the second quorum was formed. No current 70 was called before April of 1989. (Elder Amado was called in 1989 after the 2nd quorum was formed. He lives in Central America–so he probably isn’t dropping by Grant’s home every month.) Even if we are generous and look to current 70s called before the 3rd, 4th and 5th quorums were formed in 1995, that only leaves two other possibilities: Claudio Costa, who was called in 1992 and who lives in Brazil, and John Dickson, who lives in Africa. Again, it would kind of difficult to hold monthly meetings with either of those two at Grant’s home. So, if Grant is the source of this story, it would appear the historian and entered the world of fiction.

We are from different generations Jeff :) At least it gives you more reason to think I am a horrible Anti-Mormon, enjoy the moment!

Why anyone but an avowed anti-mormon would give any credence to anything under the authorship of people who write books, papers etc which are then published by Signature Books is beyond me. People such as Grant H Palmer, our good old friend D Michael Quinn and especially George D Smith, are making a lot of money selling this stuff to a gullible audience.

I am not surprised to be given this information by Steve Bloor, who does seem to be obsessed in attacking the Church he once belonged to, even though he now classes himself as a secular humanist, (not much chance of converting him to Christ).

I think you are wise in reserving judgement. Jeff

I think it was supposed to be funny, but kind of in a look at how silly this Grant Palmer thing is kind of way.

James is very much an LDS defender in case you didn’t know.

But I guess personal attacks on the people involved with these things seems to be the good old fashioned Mormon way of dealing with criticism of the Church, I wont take it personally.

As for this information given by Grant Palmer, obviously the critic in me wants to see it as true, but I am honestly not sure, while on some level it would make sense, overall Im just struggling to buy into it. Unless anything more concrete comes along I would personally just let this one go away.

Jeff (still waiting for replies to papers I sent many months ago and also quite recently, so much for your promises)

The conspiracy by LDS leaders is much more sinister than most realize:
