I don’t even know where to start.....so I won’t.

But I found this concerning LDS apologists.

” They is paid indirectly by the Mormon Church to publish articles and reviews on the Brigham Young University Website called “FARMS”. Many LDS Apologists are professors at the Mormon owned Brigham Young University. They spend countless hours writing apologetic material for the LDS Corporation and posting on the apologetic FAIR boards.

The job as a Mopologist (Mormon Apologist) is to contradict, counteract, suppress, withhold and dismiss any claims made by persons outside the LDS Church (read: Anti-Mormon). They do this by discrediting authors, creating answers to Mormon questions (such as horses in the Book of Mormon were really tapirs) and dismissing any Anti-Mormon claims in any way they can. Often, the apologist uses his “professor” status and his knowledge of the English language to write works that impress and convince Mormons that his answers are all that is required.

Experience shows that there is nothing, and I mean nothing, in the Mormon past or present, in its history, or in its culture that apologists will not excuse, rationalize, downplay, explain away, dismiss, or ignore, as a means to support pre-determined conclusions that the Mormon Church is the ONLY “true and living church” (common Mormon phraseology) on the earth. This includes, among other things, Joseph Smiths’ lying and philandering, murder of innocents, Gordon Hinkley’s repudiation of long-held “divine” teachings, racism, sexism, homophobia, anachronisms and blatant errors in divine texts, wholesale plagiarism in divine texts, uncharitable practices and statements of “divinely inspired” men, personality cults, etc., etc. In short, many, many things that decent and moral people (including Mormons in other contexts) find objectionable.”

Is there something wrong with “homophobia”? This is not DU~~~!!!!

A “horse” is a “tapir.”

In a “pig’s” eye!

That’s the kind of foolishness that makes you realize how ignorant this stuff is.

horses in the Book of Mormon were really tapirs

Tapir-Back Riders
Tune: "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles

Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Joe
And the main idea is the Lamanites were
Tapir-back riders
Tapir-back riders

See, the Nephites came to the promised land
And those dang exmos just don't understand
That when they said "horse" they meant something else
But it all makes sense if you know that they were
Tapir-back riders
Tapir-back riders

I know the whole thing doesn't hold up well
If you take it literally, but what the *heck*
There’s this group of guys that work at FARMS
And they can save the whole thing by postulating
Tapir-back riders
Tapir-back riders

They say the book is really history
If so where's the proof? Ah, a mystery
External evidence is perpetually due
Apparently the best that they can do is
Tapir-back riders
Tapir-back riders

What the folks at FARMS don’t seem to understand
Is we want the truth, not sleight of hand
The Church asks for all, but gives nothing back
The best they have to offer is a team of hacks with
Tapir-back riders
Tapir-back riders

Well put, imho. And far tooooo accurate for any LDS perceptive, well researched, thinking person’s comfort.

Than don’t imply or make up stuff as you go along!

One big thing you like to imply was They is paid indirectly by the Mormon Church was that meaning it came from tithes?

***

No it does not come from tithes it comes from the LDS who want to defend, and have refutation for the misrepresentation going on out there, by disgruntled X-Mormons for whatever reason they are where they are, plus the anti’s they had them in the days that Jesus dwell upon the earth and it is the same disturber spirit leading them today!.

The children of Caiaphas!
