"Joseph and Moonmen," FAIR Wiki (City Unknown: FAIR) This FAIR Wiki article responds to the claim, made by critics, that Joseph Smith taught that the moon was inhabited, and that this is proof he was a false prophet. "Racist statements by Church leaders," FAIR Wiki (City Unknown: FAIR) This FAIR Wiki artilce responds to the following questions: Why did past prophets make racist statements? God had already revealed to Peter that he should not call anything that the Lord had made unclean (Acts 10:9–16), yet our modern-day prophets thought that blacks were inferior to whites; why is that? J. Cooper Johnson, "The Church and Its Leadership," Mormonism 201 (Mesa, Arizona: FAIR) Mormonism 101 would have us believe that there are no more prophets and that we can not trust LDS prophets to reveal the word of God. Cooper Johnson compares LDS prophets to Biblical prophets and explains how prophets can be both men and inspired leaders and how members can discern when they are speaking the will of the Lord. Samuel Katich, "Joseph Smith," Mormonism 201 (Mesa, Arizona: FAIR) Katich explores the many issues regarding Joseph Smith that are mentioned in Mormonism 101. Such issues include: polygamy, polyandry, imperfections, treasure digging and more. Other ResourcesThe resources listed below are related items available on the Web that should be of interest.
