The Deseret News reported that the LDS Church ran a survey of its members to find out if they wanted the truth about LDS leaders, history, and other matters. The fact that an organization run by divine inspiration would conduct a survey to make decisions about truth — about whether to be truthful, in fact — is sobering. But even more sobering are the comments made on the Deseret News article.
Can you imagine Jesus doing something like this? Or the first-century apostles? Sure, they had the Council at Jerusalem and came to some decisions after prayer (and under the instruction of the Holy Spirit), but can you imagine any of them colluding to suppress, say, the fact that the Apostle Paul had been a murderer?
