Well, now this is fascinating.  Willard blows smoke again.  Considering
that we are under a red burn indicator, (it is unlawful to burn in
your wood stoves unless it is your only source of heat), Willard is
risking criminal prossecution.  *cough, cough*  At any rate, Willard
has done some picking and choosing of his material to misrepresent
BOTH sides of the argument.  I find it interesting that the anti-Christians
strive to focus more on who got what from where, rather than the
information itself.  Oh well, this is a cross we all must bear.

It still remains that it is up to each individual to examine the evidence
from its source, not just what Willard chooses to cite.  Again, I
exhort you (parakaleio) to look at what the Tanner's say, and examine
their arguments for yourselves.  Look at what Gee says, and what
Larson says, on the basis of the arguments themselves, and not on the
basis of who did what first, etc.  Willard, with his futile posts would
attempt to discourage you from studying the REAL information for yourselves,
but do it anyway.  The last thing he or others with his agenda would
want you to do is study and learn the REAL facts.  What he, and others
will not admit, is that the evidence is in, and the BoA is dead.  Some
Mormon scholars have agreed with the rest of the world that Joseph
Smith created the BoA from his own imagination.  Let go of the lies,
and accept the facts for what they are.  Don't be blinded by the smoke.

It is interesting to note, that Willard resurects "Dr. Clandestine"
once again.  Why is this?  Can he really think we don't have the
attention span necessary to remember the earlier debate on "Dr. Clandestine"?
Willard continues to attribute (and rightly so) that Quinn is
the "Dr. Clandestine," but it has been shown long ago in this newsgroup
that even the "author" has not openly acknowledged this pamphlet (why?),
and it has more misrepresentations and more holes than a fine aged
swiss cheese.  But, don't take my word for it.  Don't take Willard's
word for it.  Examine it all for yourselves.  There is only one
conclusion you can come to if you are honest with yourself.
