Realizing this is an old post I thought I'd point out that the link to the article is not functioning anymore. It is one of the top 10 most popular posts so it might warrant taking a look at it.

And when all is said and done, at the end of the day, what of the Christian principles of forgiveness & restoration. Is it not true, Mormons do consider themselves Christian. If agreed, then where are these principles exemplified in your critique of the author? He is guilty, yea admittedly so and subsequently convicted though of heinous acts of great moral turpitude indeed. However, does this preclude him of having any thing of genuine goodness/worth to contribute? Does his base or vile conduct, contrary to accepted morals, preclude him from atonement for his sins and therefore receiving forgiveness? We are not the divine intercessors in this matter, and so I would think not!

Perhaps it was God’s will that the article was published by the Ensign. Perhaps it was also God’s will that Mormons would be exposed to the article. Perhaps instead of being confounded by how it came to occur, Mormons should ponder what it is, which is useful, God intended you should receive from the article.

I don’t see anything wrong with publishing the article. It touched me and helped me realize their feelings and how to help them come back to Christ.

I’ve just dug out our copy of the Ensign. Personally, it is a very uplifting article that does no damage in itself – hence why it was published in the first place. I think it’s great to hear of his re-conversion and his experiences with the missionaries.

The Church would simply not publish it online, to make a stand that they do not condone his behaviour – funnily enough, this article does not appear in the German Liahona, which contains several Ensign articles.

George

You should know by now Kim doesn’t “blacklist” anyone. If you can’t post it’s not his fault. Other people don’t seem to have a problem.

“George,” I don’t suppose you’re going to offer any explanation of what your last comment was supposed to mean, are you?
