If what you say now is the truth, then you lied to me when you spoke of how you were told to ban me and did not, how you told me that I should not have e-mailed Linda Booth about a deleted post, because I was not supposed to be there any longer, how you told me of the committee that said for you to ban me. Now which should I believe, what you say now or then? I have caught you lying in the past as well, so why should I believe anything you say?

You could save much time by simply giving a link to the site that already has those on-line. All you would have to do is add the false sections of the D&C after 144. It even has a searchable database that you can search all three books at once plus History of the Church and Times and Seasons. Looks like you are duplicating the work of others before you.

I would guess that would be those outside the church, because church history is not considered that important among the mainstream members of the COC today.

Why not start with those scripturally starving folks that sign your paycheck? They could use it to great advantage for the Lord if they ever decide to follow Him instead of their own agendas.
