Grundelwalken Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I realize that this is probably a futile effort in this discussion, but this little article has some merit in Dan's question. https://www.lds.org/ensign/1979/06/dating-the-restoration-of-the-melchizedek-priesthood?lang=eng&query=loss+of+116+manuscript The tenor and sincerity of Oliver's (an others) reminiscences seem much too positive to be fabrication. Yes, I understand that we can convince ourselves of anything if we work at it long enough (as witnessed by many on this board) but personally, I believe that Oliver and Joseph were very sincere in the process of receiving revelation and authority. I trust them because the have proven to me that they can be trusted. MW
