(^60) Contrast this with what an LDS/Mormon “General Authority” said, “Other records and
revelations show Martin Harris’s significant involvement in the activities of the restored Church and
his standing with God. He was present at the organization of the Church on April 6, 1830, and was
baptized that same day.” (Dallin H. Oaks, “The Witness: Martin Harris,” Ensign, May 1999: 35.)

(^66) “Not every human that holds the Urim and Thummim can get it to work. Inside each of
us are fractions of light that are distinct to each individual. (These fractions of light can be more
easily described as “spirit” matter—and we’ve scientifically named these “electrical impulses.”
Some call this light an aura.) All fractions of light undulate, or move in a wavelike manner,
according to their makeup and purpose. Like our fingerprints, our own light undulations are
unique to each of us and give us our individuality and distinctiveness. There have only been a
handful of men and women whose DNA has been programmed, so that the waves of their
unique light meet the actuating specifications and parameters programmed into the Urim and
Thummim.” (TSP, 580, “The Coming Forth of The Sealed Portion.”)

do? I have sinned—it is I who tempted the wrath of God.’”
