Reply #84: A good start would be for the Mormon Church to OPEN [View All]

its archives to ALL RESEARCHERS. I have no doubt whatsoever that they are holding my g-g-g-grandfather's journal, the primary source material for his autobiography, along with vast numbers of other important documents. They just love to get their hands on damning material and it them away forever, so they can deny what happened.

Openness, truth, and honesty would go a long way toward helping their public image. But that will never happen. This particular brand of religious fascists is incapable of it.

If you want to cite something specific in "Ohio, Illinois and Missouri" I suggest that YOU find the links. That's YOUR issue. Don't expect others to do your homework.

Oh, and if you think the Mormons are squeaky clean these days, you might want to read up on the "Sunday Closing Law" in Utah in the early 70s. They can't seem to refrain from theocracy.
