“Since some people have been accused of quoting Mormon prophets and apostles out of context, I think it is important that whole sermons preached by these men be posted.”

Since the only thing people appear to be allowed to post is the Mormon side of things, I believe you are right. Fortunately, those whole sermons speak for themselves.

I have tried to give first hand original accounts, based on the writings of both Gentiles and Mormons.

Parley P. Pratt - full Mormon
Ann Young - born Mormon, 19th wife to Brigam Young
Mrs Stenton “Tell It All” - full Mormon convert turned Apostate
Ebeneezer Robinson - full Mormon, even responsible for printing on his own the third prining of the BOM
The Nauvoo Expositor, all editors being recent Mormons
Governor Ford - non-Mormon
Reed Peck - full Mormon who lapsed after being jailed at Liberty
the Mormon War Letters (archive state of Missouri)

Unfortunately, quoting people who were there first hand now seems impermissible because the truth is embarassing and is therefore “bashing”. Once you start down this path though, where do you stop? If one is a basher for pointing out that philosophies pulled out of a hat by looking through a peepstonew are highly suspect to the point of being ludicrous, what logic could ever prevail?

If I believe 2 + 2 = 5 because it was handed down to me by a dead Jewish Indian on Golden Tablets, should I be allowed to design a jet airline? Apparently that is the slope we are on.

As Jesus said: "where are those thine accusers?"

Obviously not on this thread.

But it's still early.
