This is an interesting thing that Bill Reel has started - collecting all sorts of LDS documents and putting them in one place. I haven't had time to do more than skim through, but there are some really interesting letters here that show just how messy Mormon history is on blacks, what God deems OK with sex, evolution, marriage, missionary worthiness, Nov 15 policy, etc.
If you haven't seen it, you can check out all the documents at https://showcase.dropbox.com/s/LDS-DOCU ... LVzj3Kmd0I
Bill Reel's new project: Mormon Document Repository
Re: Bill Reel's new project: Mormon Document Repository
Used to have some John Birch letters from ETB. If I find them, will send them in.
This is a good site. Some of these things need to be published. Whether they are considered private or not, let the record stand for itself.

Man, how does that guy find the time and energy for all of his projects?

Re: Bill Reel's new project: Mormon Document Repository
I don't even have time to post on NOM as much as I used to. I have the same question for Bill!
But what a great idea, and there are some great documents on there that I have to search for, and it's great to have it all in one place. I took a quick look on the site, and they have hard to find things like John Taylor's 1886 revelation and junior's council of love about it. What great finds! I don't know where a lot of these Mormon documents are, but if people can point Bill in the right direction, it's such a great thing.

Re: Bill Reel's new project: Mormon Document Repository
The document about the faith crisis study, did anyone check out any of the other documents in that repository? There's quite a few:

I'm just starting to dig into it.
