Jeremy Runnells "My letter is not meant to be a new Encyclopedia of Mormonism" comment on r/exmormon.
u/kolobot, "Sharing ONLY One Book", Reddit, February 2, 2014.
If I included every.single.problem. the CES Letter will be 200 pages. THEN we have the problem of people not wanting to read a 200 page letter.
My letter is not meant to be a new Encyclopedia of Mormonism. It's meant to go over the main problems. People can then take a deeper dive in research from there.
To me, Second Isaiah, Kirkland Temple story, Carthage Jail, BY transfiguration are not critical parts to include in the letter. They're important, yes, but I've got a balance to watch for...83 pages or 200 pages?
Edit: Everyone has their buttons. For some, it's LGBT. For others, it's politics. Others, Second Isaiah. Others, Carthage. I wrote the letter outlining my buttons and problems. I've tried to include as much as I reasonably could without turning my letter into a textbook or encyclopedia.
I'm not knocking down or diminishing any issue or problem. I wrote the letter to the CES Director as it affected and concerned me.
