I have the complete JOD at my disposal so I checked to make sure the Kimball quote is in context
So what?

This stuff gets so old.

Do you really think posting this is going to wake everyone up to the flaws in the Church?

Do you really think it's not something we, including this ex-Mormon, haven't heard over and over?

Do you really think we don't know the "thinking has been done" comment is a weak and shallow "anti" strategy to condemn the Church?

If you want to confront latter-day Saints, there are other and better arguments, though you still will not change anyone's heart.

Give it a rest already.
