When I first published the LaTL I got comments and emails from critics who hated it and faithful members who loved it. I hoped that eventually the letter would reach people like this. It's starting to and I couldn't be happier.

Anyone who hasn't read The #LightandTruthLetter is really missing out. Just look at this glorious illustration of how the anachronisms in The Book of Mormon have consistently reduced over time:
This week in come follow me has one of my favorite scriptures. I was deceived for a time. Everyone's experience is different but the Lord promises to reclaim those who have been deceived.

One of the reasons I could never become a critic is because of all of the "Joseph Smith was a creative genius" mental gymnastics I'd have to use.
The list of skills that critics sweep under the creative genius rug is staggering.

Dear critics,

No matter how much the critics want it to be so, the church they imagined may not be real.
Some critics had or heard of a one-off, personal bad experience with the Church. From there, they fabricate a made-up church of evil-doers.
