MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The Mormon Problem with Honesty

In the various articles, blogs, and comments related to Mitt Romney's 
Mormonism, the Mormon honesty problem has come up. "Why didn't Mitt 
Romney talk about what Mormons really believe?" asked one writer. 
"Mormons feel it is ok to lie about their beliefs," stated a radio 
caller.

So do Mormons lie about their beliefs?

All practicing Mormons must answer the question, "Are you honest in 
your dealings with your fellow man?" in the affirmative in order to be 
able to attend an LDS temple, so they are often puzzled by these 
statements and questions. But Mormon answers aren't really the 
problem. The honesty problem has more to do with what Evangelical 
Christians are taught about Mormons than with Mormon belief itself.

In a survey done by FAIR, over 65% of responding pastors said that 
they had sponsored classes at their Church on Mormonism. Most people 
love their church and their pastors. They have seen their pastor spend 
countless hours in helping people and doing their best to teach their 
congregations. But in teaching about Mormonism, only 2% of those 
pastors actually invited Mormons to explain their beliefs. The rest 
relied on anti-Mormon ministries and publications for their
information.

The goal of these professional anti-Mormon ministries is to keep 
people away from Mormonism. They want to protect the flock from any 
Mormon "sheep-stealing" missionaries. To accomplish their goal they 
sensationalize, distort, misunderstand, misread, and misrepresent LDS 
doctrine and scripture. It is from this group that we learn that 
Mormonism is a cult. It is this group that provides most of the 
information on Mormonism on the Internet. So when Evangelicals start 
conversations with their Mormon acquaintances, they already "know" 
Mormons belong to a cult, even if they can't remember why.

On the other side of this equation, we have the Mormons. Mormons have 
a completely different way of looking at doctrine. They tend to 
classify doctrine into that which is important and that which is 
speculation. The important things are mostly reflected in the temple 
recommend questions and focus on core doctrines such as Jesus is our 
Savior, God is our Father, keep the commandments, God speaks to us 
today, and the Bible and The Book of Mormon are the word of God. Other 
important beliefs are that we lived with God before this life and 
after this life we will all be resurrected and enter one of the 
kingdoms of glory. These are all beliefs that define Mormonism.

Mormon speculation deals with doctrinal areas where there are hints in 
scripture, but no explanations. These areas are less sure, less 
defined, and frequently completely unknown. Questions in this area 
would include: what was it like in the pre-existence? Where did God 
come from? What exactly will it be like in the afterlife? Because 
these areas are unknown, a good practicing Mormon is free to believe 
and say anything he or she wants about them. We have a long history of 
commenting on these areas, yet most everyone understands that these
are areas of personal opinion and speculation.

The honesty problem comes up when the Evangelical world and the Mormon 
world collide. The questions posed to Mormons come from a basis in 
anti-Mormonism meant to expose how the Mormons are weird and belong to 
a cult. Is Jesus Satan's brother? Is there a God before God? Where 
does God live? Will you be creating your own planet? While you can 
find something written by a Mormon somewhere on all these items, these 
questions fall into the speculative area and are not core doctrines of 
Mormonism. This means if you ask several different Mormons, you will 
likely get several different answers. And Mormons have no problem with 
that.

When the religious issue came up for Mitt Romney, Mormon honesty 
became a factor. The real truth is that most of the discussions on 
Mormonism haven't been about Mormonism at all, but a discussion of 
speculation, anti-Mormon issues, and bigotry. That is where we need a 
little more honesty.

Before closing, I would like to turn for a short time to another
topic--the passing of President Hinckley. We all knew it was coming;
we all knew this day would arrive. That doesn't change the shock and
surprise that comes with hearing the news of his passing, however.

President Hinckley was, to put it mildly, an inspiration for many
people, LDS and not. His boundless energy and eternal optimism gave
voice to the best to which we, as humans, aspire. He attempted to
live his life in concert with the will of his Father, and he showed
us how to be like Christ in our everyday lives.

President Hinckley will be dearly missed.

--Scott Gordon
  President

FAIR BLOG CREATED

FAIR has created a blog for its members to express themselves on 
issues relating to the mission of FAIR: defending Mormonism. The blog 
went online on January 8 and is averaging about one new entry per day. 
FAIR does not determine content and each entry represents the views of 
its author without necessarily representing the views of FAIR.

So far the diverse topics have included issues in the Book of Mormon,
anti-Mormon activities, Mormonism in the political arena, LDS history, 
and many others.

------------------------------
FAIR DEBUTS ON YOUTUBE

For many months FAIR has been creating video responses to specific 
attacks against LDS beliefs. This month FAIR began putting some of 
those videos onto YouTube.com to make them immediately available to 
those needing responses in this medium. The clips range from about two 
minutes to about six minutes in length. These are all taken from a 
single, larger video that is being produced to respond to critics of 
the Church.

The videos that have been posted so far are:

  * The Bible vs. the Book of Mormon
  * The Bible vs. the Book of Mormon, LDS Scholars comment
  * Archaeology and the Bible
  * Book of Mormon, Old World
  * Book of Mormon Geography, New World
  * The Book of Mormon and Temples
  * Coins and the Book of Mormon
  * Metals in the Book of Mormon
  * Grains and the Book of Mormon
  * Horses, Chariots, Elephants in the Book of Mormon

RESOURCES ON THE WEB: CHURCH RELEASES VIDEO CHALLENGING MYTHS

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced on January 
19, 2008, that the video produced for the 2002 Winter Olympics to 
explain LDS beliefs is now available for downloading. The 10-minute 
video was produced to help explain the Church, its culture, and its 
beliefs to journalist and others attending the games. The video can be 
downloaded to be used by members.

RESOURCES ON THE WEB: REFLECTIONS BY AN LDS WOMAN

Author Neylan McBaine, on the BustedHalo.com website, discusses issues 
surrounding being a Latter-day Saint in environments where the faith 
is little understood. Her response to Mitt Romney's speech on religion 
was one of relief that his speech might help remove discussions of LDS 
doctrines from the political arena where they have been reduced to 
sound bites.

    http://www.fairlds.org/cgi-bin/site.pl?s280

In another article McBaine discusses the growing awareness of LDS 
beliefs and practices by those in the professional world.

RESOURCES ON THE WEB: A GIFT FOR ANTI-MORMONS

Jeff Lindsay blogged a humorous article on Mormanity using the classic 
anti-Mormon style of "comparing Mormonism to Christianity." In 
addition to being an interesting defense of the LDS position, 
Lindsay's approach shows how such comparison charts, the staple of 
most ministries to Mormons, can be manipulated to misrepresent or 
oversimply a doctrinal position to achieve a particular outcome.

------------------------------
RESOURCES ON THE WEB: DOES IT MATTER IF THE BOOK OF MORMON EVENTS 
REALLY HAPPENED?

Anti-Mormons naturally reject the Book of Mormon as either authentic 
or historical. But can a believing Latter-day Saint accept the Book of 
Mormon while denying its historicity? In this article published online 
with Meridian Magazine, the argument is made that historicity is 
indeed an important, if not essential, foundational belief for 
Latter-day Saints.

RESOURCES ON THE WEB: FINDING NEPHI'S "BOUNTIFUL" IN THE REAL WORLD

In recent years many exciting finds have been made on the Arabian 
peninsula that support the Book of Mormon narrative. The location of 
Bountiful on the seashore of Arabia has been a primary focus for a 
number of individuals and groups seeking to find possible sites for 
locations identified within the Book of Mormon text. In this Meridian 
Magazine article, Warren P. Aston looks at a site he feels meets the 
requirements laid out in the ancient text and which could very well be 
the spot spoken of in Nephi's record.

RESOURCES ON THE WEB: USING NEW MEDIA TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE 
CHURCH

In the December 2007 edition of the FAIR Journal, we highlighted parts 
of Elder Russel M. Ballard's speech during the BYU-Hawaii graduation 
ceremony. The complete text for that speech is available on the 
Church's website. Elder Ballard encouraged members to responsibly 
engage in online discussions of LDS beliefs, practices, and culture.

Elder Ballard said, "The Lord over the centuries has had a hand in 
inspiring people to invent tools that facilitate the spreading of the 
gospel. The Church has adopted and embraced those tools, including 
print, broadcast media, and now the Internet."

He went on to urge members to be active in using the tools the Lord 
has made available to us.  "Now, to you who are graduating today and 
all other faithful members of the Church, as you graduate from this 
wonderful university, may I ask that you join the conversation by 
participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share 
the gospel and to explain in simple, clear terms the message of the 
Restoration.  Most of you already know that if you have access to the 
Internet you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you 
know to be true.  You can download videos from Church and other 
appropriate sites, including Newsroom at LDS.org, and send them to 
your friends.  You can write to media sites on the Internet that 
report on the Church, and voice your views as to the accuracy of the 
reports. This, of course, requires that you, all members of the 
Church, understand the basic, fundamental principles of the gospel."

ASK THE APOLOGIST

FAIR invites the public to submit questions relating to LDS beliefs, 
practices, and history. Some questions are asked sincerely by members 
and investigators, others are clearly hostile questions challenging 
the veracity of the Church and its teachings. Many of these responses 
may end up on the Web site as a FAIR paper or brochure. If you have a 
question, you may submit it through the FAIR web site.

    http://www.fairlds.org/contact.php

Questions sent to FAIR will be shared with members of FAIR, so it is 
not uncommon to receive several responses that approach the issue from 
different angles.

FAIR WIKI

The FAIR wiki project was started in 2006 to provide a more flexible 
and searchable resource for Latter-day Saints and allow others to get 
answers to Gospel questions. The wiki is, by design, always a "work in 
progress," with many editors at FAIR contributing to articles on a 
daily basis. You can access the FAIR wiki at:

    http://www.fairmormon.org

This month the FAIR wiki focuses attention on wiki articles that have 
been updated. Each month hundreds of changes are made in the wiki as 
new information is incorporated, errors are found and corrected, and 
new topics are added. The following are only a few of the scores of 
wiki entries that have been modified this month.

"Marriage not needed for exaltation." This article discusses the 
statements by Paul and Jesus relative to marriage.

    Scholarship, 2006, paperbook, 436 pages, ISBN: 978-0-8425-2661-6)

Oliver Cowdery's life stands as a testimony of the restored gospel of
Christ. This volume, which includes an award-winning article on the
return of the Second Elder, helps readers understand and appreciate
the remarkable Oliver Cowdery, renowned as Book of Mormon scribe,
recipient with Joseph of restored priesthood power, witness with
David Whitmer and Martin Harris of the visit of Moroni, and cofounder

    Mormon," Brant A. Gardner (Greg Kofford Books, 2007)

This is actually a series of books, covering the entire Book of Mormon
in an exemplary, readable, and understandable manner. Taking the Book
of Mormon "seriously but not inerrantly," the series employs a
dazzling range of systematic approaches to propose plausible answers
to tough "why" questions, present paallels and models from both the
Old World and the New and, perhaps most significantly, reveal glimpses
of Mesoamerican culture, religions, and lifestyles through this
Nephite record.

There will be a total of six volumes in the series. The first four
volumes (First Nephi, Second Nephi--Jacob, Enos--Mosiah, and Alma)
are now available in stock. The first three volumes retail for $39.95
each and the fourth volume retails for $49.95. You can get them right
now through the FAIR Bookstore for 20% off their regular retail price.

These volumes will make an amazing reference for anyone studying the
Book of Mormon this year. They are a must-have for any serious
scholar or student of the scriptures.

ARTICLE SUBMISSIONS

We welcome article submissions for the FAIR Journal and Web site. If 
you would like to submit an article, please review the editing 
guidelines at:

    http://www.fairlds.org/EdStyle.pdf

Submit your article to the FAIR Journal Editor, Paul McNabb, by going 
to

    http://www.fairlds.org/contact.php

An appropriate article would be one that affirms the truthfulness of 
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

While LDS apologetics involves refuting critics of the Church, its 
doctrines, and its leaders, articles don't necessarily have to deal 
with anti-Mormonism. FAIR will consider articles that deal with new 
evidence of the Book of Mormon, scriptural passages that involve a 
unique LDS interpretation, a viewpoint or quote from the early 
Christian Fathers or other historical figures, an inspiring missionary 
story, Church history, a view on a current event related to the 
Church, or a piece from an historical journal.

We may also accept articles from people who are not members of The 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that may not necessarily 
meet the guidelines of supporting the church if it is a topic of 
general interest to people involved in apologetics.

A submission may range in length from several pages to a single 
paragraph.
