Our general authorities and local leaders deserve our prayers and good will. They also deserve to know when their actions are threatening the testimonies of the members. The problems some local leaders and general authorities have caused me has left me feeling that I have the right, even the obligation to sound off about it. I left the LDS Church for twenty five years because of the opposition I encountered when I stood up to racists and discovered over a century of denials about Brigham Young's false doctrine. Out of my concern for others who have been chased out of the church and have not yet found their way back, I have written Will the Real Mormons Stand Up and Sound the Alarm? When I returned to the church I found that the First Presidency was very tolerant of my new and much less naive testimony. Some local influencial high priests, to their shame, were not tolerant. They need to feel ashamed of the things they put me through. Confronting them did little good in most cases so I wrote the book.

My latest book has been published and is available at www.archwaypublishing.com. It is titled Will the Real Mormons Stand Up and Sound the Alarm?. It is available at other vendors, but it is more profitable for me if you buy from the publisher.

But, not all slave owners were racists and not all racists were slave owners. Joseph Smith, our first latter-day prophet and leader of the Church was neither a racist or slave owner and he ordained at least one black man.

Since my most recent letter to the editor has not yet been published by the Elk Grove Citizen, it will not likely be published by them. They only allow me 250 words which wasn’t enough for me to do justice to the points I wished to make. Therefore, I will expand my letter with this article for the benefit of my readers.
