kryoung1983 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I have an old roommate who I have learned left the church. He sent a link to me titled letter to a CES director, and supposedly the rebuttal that FAIR did was debunked. Does anyone have any feedback that knows the issue very well.
kryoung1983 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 oops. I meant letter to a CES director.
Calm Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) http://en.fairmormon.org/Criticism_of_Mormonism/Online_documents/Letter_to_a_CES_Director http://en.fairmormon.org/Criticism_of_Mormonism/Online_documents/Letter_to_a_CES_Director/Debunking_FairMormon It is massive. Plenty to research. Was there something specific you wanted? Edited January 19, 2015 by calmoriah

Mars Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) NEALR GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! As a missionary I could be a pretty fundamentalist thinker at times, and often saw things as black and white. I would hear about various criticisms from people I tracted into, and people I taught. I even picked up anti-Mormon writings and read from them as a missionary. For whatever reason, though, the new information did not affect me the way it affected you. I decided that at the time, I just didn’t know enough about the things I was reading in those pamphlets to make a sound judgment and decision based on them. And so, I didn’t. I stuck to what I knew, and placed those things on the proverbial shelf. Then, when I got home, among other things, I decided to start searching for more information. As I did, I came to find answers, and learned new questions as well, but overall came away with a stronger, more informed, faith. I feel I better understand the gospel now, and I feel compelled to speak up when I think that this gospel I cherish is being attacked. I’ll bet that if those who shared negative information with me about the Church knew that it spurred me to take the gospel more seriously, rather than discard it as they had hoped, they would be sorely disappointed.

Pretty much anything that is in the CES letter that one can't find in any anti-Mormon book. It is just repackaged junk with a new coversheet. 1
stemelbow Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm really enjoying your writeup, nealr. kudos. Me too. I've skimmed and it is quite good. The PS at the end of the second is of course worth noting. I agreed with this point and haven't said as much or have put it as articulately. 1

Mars Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I just confirmed nealr is a BYU fan. I'm saddened by this but also elated at indisputable evidence he is most definitely *not* in my head... 4
