Fair Comments On The Journal Of Discourses

[orion88]

FAIR states, "This makes it more difficult to detect when the Brethren were not

speaking about the true and established principles of the Church, and were

speculating instead. And in these instances, the reader who has a sound knowledge

of the Church’s doctrines and a sure testimony will have no difficulty in dismissing

these quotes as speculation. However, some of the writings of the Journal of

Discourses are more disturbing, and are not excusable as private interpretation."

Has FAIR ever documented anything in all of the Journal of Discourses that

are false statements?

What FAIR has documented is usually up on the website.

I would suggest writing FAIR if you are interested because while there are some FAIR members who post on the board, they may not be the ones interested in the JoD...or perhaps Life on a Plate as I believe he was systematically reading through the JoD.
