Thank you Mamusz. I am not the only one who has connected the dots. People who know how to read and are given the sources of information can figure it out. There have been others whose input has helped illuminate the truth. I sincerely hope that sane people will regard the evidence.

There will of course be some members of the Community of Christ (that is only their legal name, not their reality) who will of course knee jerk deny all the facts.

The First Presidency certainly has created a mess.

PAPER #5,The First Presidency (of Community of Christ), January 9, 1979, 4:15 p.m.

COPING WITH CONFLICTING MESSAGES

It seems that it is difficult for persons who feel compelled to express their divergent views to discriminate between the lawful powers given to the First Presidency for the sake of the church and the privilege they have as individual members of the church to express their point of view. There certainly must be opportunity to express dissent and dissatisfaction and this should be done directly with the officer or officers involved. The First Presidency are willing to give a hearing to responsible criticism. Members do not have a right, however to directly circularize the church with a point of view or style which conflicts with the program emphasis being presented to the church.
