The backdating and changing the boc i think its super applicable. It clearly establishes that JS wasnt above changing "facts" to fit current needs, strengthening the argument that the FV and priesthood restoration in general were made up for convience rather than actual events.græy wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 5:40 pm I'm late to this party, but this is exactly what I was looking for a couple of weeks ago. Well done jfro18! Three cheers for you!
I agree with the comment about adding some context. Competing seer stones and Alger specifically.
It could also be beneficial to include some of the text that changed as events were backdated, BoC -> D&C. Maybe?
Overall, great work!

Re: Priesthood Restoration timeline - Official church narrative vs Historical timeline
It's frustrating to see the last resort in a discussion of facts be: I disregard those facts because of my faith. Why even talk about facts if the last resort is to put faith above all facts that are contrary to your faith?
Re: Priesthood Restoration timeline - Official church narrative vs Historical timeline
Yeah - when I tossed it up on the site Friday I added the pictures outlining the changes from the BoC to D&C in the 'apologetic' page which (to me) are devastating when you see the timeline and then see just how much it was altered w/o explanation or reason. I think I'll add those to the timeline page as well since it again highlights the absurdity.mooseman wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 12:04 pm
