Most of the GA publications, several notable ones notwithstanding, don't really stand out.

I was referring to a specific jab you took. That and your second reference to Bushman.

Let's suppose for a second that BRM received royalties from Mormon Doctrine. If so, he had to have made a fortune off of that book. Given the chain of events and controversy surrounding the publication of the second edition, do you honestly believe that a substantial revenue stream would not be even a "minor factor" in how he handled that situation?

I'm ruminating on the interesting contrast that exists in folks who think the GA's should never publish anything while at the same time waiting for the next LDS historical "expose" with all the glee of a new Harry Potter novel.

That's an interesting argument. I guess it boils down the question I asked Tex: How do you define priestcraft? What amount of money or what type of activity would you consider to be non-kosher in terms of profiting from the calling?
