This is the same guy who had the image of FAIR and UTLM or whatever calling them both the "same" right?
He now has the above new image.
Anyway, I want to correct this anti-mormon false presentation of FAIR and what it does.
First, note how he quotes a FAIR statement on a subject, and then quotes something the Church has said on the same subject.
He quotes mines, ignoring certain contexts and facts in order to create the impression that FAIR is not representative of the Church.
Here however is the problem with his judgment.
The reason FAIR stated what it has is for a very good reason. The reason is that the idea that we will "have our own worlds" etc. is not in fact a "doctrine" of a Church. Yes, it is a common belief and assumption in the Church, but it's just that, a belief and assumption from what the actual doctrine is. The Church teaches many things and subjects that are not actually doctrine. All religions in fact do this.
This is why FAIR said what it said the way it said it. It's dealing with anti-mormonism, thus it has to be accurate and "precise" in explaining things. One reason for this is because Anti-mormons quote mine statements from history, and make them ALL "doctrines" of the Church when they absolutely were not, never were, or are not. The actual doctrine is that we will stand on God's Right Hand, be Joint Heirs with Christ, and Inherit all the Father hath, etc... That is the actual doctrine. Us having our own worlds we will rule over, etc. is an "assumption" from that doctrine. It's likely a true assumption, hence why it's taught, but it's not a doctrine.
In conclusion, it is not that FAIR is contradicting the Church, it's that FAIR is being accurate and precise in explaining what is and isn't doctrine. Take for example a negative example from history. Some taught blacks were "less valiant in the Pre-Mortal life". In fact, this idea was likely often taught by many members. Problem is, it's not actually a "doctrine" of the Church, and never was. It's an "assumption" from another doctrine, i.e. the LDS doctrine of pre-mortality that what we are here is related to who were were there. But, as we all now know, it is a FALSE assumption.
Further, FAIR is not the only ones who are being more precise here. The Church itself is also the last 20 years especially striving to be more precise itself, striving to prevent problems such as concerning blacks and the priesthood. For example, when was the last time you heard LDS leaders teach the idea that "God was once a man"? You don't. In fact, President Hinckley even debunked the idea in an interview that anti's spaz on. Well, more precise, he was making clear that that point isn't actually doctrine. The doctrine is that we can become like God. However, the King Follet Discourse statements are not officially doctrine. A true belief yes within mormonism, but not actually doctrine. Doctrine only comes from the scriptures and official pronouncements by the presidency. God being once a man is not officially in the scriptures. Christ imply's it, hence the origination of the KFD, but it's not directly stated.
Anyway, I hope I've clarified this LIE that FAIR and anti-mormonism are the same things.
UTLM lies, FAIR clarifies and corrects the lies, and is in full conformity with LDS Theology and Doctrines. Anyone that is mentally sane and a good member of the Church should know this.
