Heh. "Speaks volumes" seems to be the phrase to use when you have barely enough to say to fill a small pamphlet.

Impressive, exUte.

Some interesting and heated comments after the article. It looks like many an anti just waits for something like this to come out and then pounces on it.

Nice work Adam. BYU71's response cracked me up. Introductions to scriptures may change, but BYU71's contempt for the honor code never will.

LOL, I didn't even notice that.

Death, Taxes, and BYU71's contempt for the honor code .... kinds rolls off the tongue.

I agree the change to the change was long overdue. BRM made the mistake and the Church is simply correcting the mistake.

The comments by the detractors were certainly over the top.

I've been wanting a change like this for years. Kevin Barney has this exactly right.

I agree.

The problem with many anti's is that their rhetoric is so bad, it makes some of the bad rhetoric of the apologists look good. If we had thoughtful observations and criticisms it would force believers to be more thoughtful and better in our articulations.

The comments attached were so aaronshaflike as to not merit any response.
