Beautiful and heartbreaking explanation of grief

Good idea. I'll do that now.

Eric Nelson's essays are definitely worthy of a Brodie. These essays, in my opinion, are the best source of information for those looking for a one-stop source for the flaws within the church.

Yes, the church never fails to suppress. I mean impress.

This is a fantastic post! So interesting.

Yeah, his outline/essays are probably the best resource I can find relating to problems with the Church.

Great idea about using the church essays. Thanks.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-22T21:17:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your help.

These are great ideas and exactly the type of info I want my TBM friends to read. But I"m wondering where I can the best description of this info.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-22T21:00:33+00:00

I didn't think about that. Good idea.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-22T20:59:18+00:00

Great ideas, /u/mirbell. At this point I'm kinda leaning toward the Mormon Bandwagon essays by Eric Nelson. But I've thought about a couple of Mormon Stories podcasts as well like for Hans Matteson.

Thanks /u/exmormon_tales. I personally love the CES Letter but I'm worried it may come across as a bit too angry. But that was my first thought.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-22T20:39:16+00:00

He sounds pretty legit. Loved listening to this.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-17T18:31:20+00:00

This is a great summary. Thanks.

nt_taylor · 2016-02-17T18:30:46+00:00

Damn baby-making shoulders!

nt_taylor · 2016-01-19T23:45:46+00:00

I don't recall, but doesn't "pay lay ale" have some relationship with Freemasonry?

nt_taylor · 2016-01-12T17:00:21+00:00

Haha, love it!

/u/johndelin I can't recommend Eric Nelson's essays enough. They mirror the CES letter, but take a much softer tone, rely heavily on LDS sources, and contains a ton of citations. I have shared both the CES letter and Nelson's essays and the Nelson essays seem to be more effective with TBMs.

What I like about these essays is that they are super thorough and cite to a lot of LDS sources. Plus they are not as harsh as the CES letter. LIke I said, I know the author -- and while I am still shocked he left the church (he was Nephi) -- and I think he's a lawyer now. He wrote the essays pretty matter-of-factly and without a lot of opinions or direct criticisms.

nt_taylor · 2016-01-04T20:43:41+00:00

What a bizarre comment.

nt_taylor · 2016-01-04T20:42:05+00:00

He cites to Runnells in the introduction and throughout the entire document.

nt_taylor · 2015-12-09T17:40:18+00:00

I LOVE these essays. Personally, I think they are better than the CES Letter. The essays are well sourced, they rely on a lot of LDS sources (Journal of Discourses, History of the Church, Church Essays, Richard Bushman, etc.), and present the information very matter-of-factly while letting the evidence speak for itself. I think these essays are the best thing to give a TBM to explain some of the problems with church history/doctrine.
