ALarson Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Again, it wasn't just misuse of single word. Compare "dost sayest the Lord" to "thus saith the Lord."Ok. I see he misused one word and misspelled another. I can see you pointing that out if you felt it was necessary.
jkwilliams Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I am as experienced in the matter as jkwilliams claims to be, and I can tell you that Correlation is charged with ensuring doctrinal accuracy and consistency with policy that has been set by the Church leaders. Correlation serves the Brethren and not the other way around. It is as absurd to state or imply that Corellation is some autonomous, shadowy star chamber that tells everyone else what to do as it is to make ill-informed claims that Public Affairrs free-lances with no oversight from the leadership of the Church. A couple of points: I worked at the COB for 2 years and was well-acquainted with the Correlation process, as everything I worked on was subject to Correlation review. I even worked on the translator's edition of the triple combination (AKA scripture), and it was also sent to Correlation. Your use of the word "claims" suggests that you doubt I worked up there or have much experience with Correlation. Good to know that my credibility around here is that low. Second, I have never implied that the Correlation Committee is some "autonomous, shadowy star chamber" and so forth. It, just like everything else in the church's hierarchy, reports to the First Presidency and the 12 and follows policies and guidelines set by church leaders. KevinG expressed doubt that revelation from the First Presidency and 12 would be subject to Correlation review. Unless you have information to the contrary, my understanding of policy is that everything is subject to such a review.

The response was that they will sometimes ask for opinions or feedback, but this is by no means required. And no, I don't doubt you worked where you said you did. You are reading too much into my use of "claims."
