Not surprised
In response to T.1 mmy
Batey's Doc: 7 column, and the
response to it
I saw Batey's work as either
very credible or an outright lie
I doubt the latter very serious
ly Therefore, 1 think there are
some lessons to learn from it
What is prejudice, folks7 Dis
crimination7 No’ Prejudice is
the act of judging without a
complete set of facts Discrimi
nation is setting one apart from
another, very possibly as a re
sult of having a complete set of
facts (Right, physics people?)
As I walk down the side
walks. I see people 1 don't
know I say. "Hi." because I al
wavs want to extend a greeting,
an invitation to become my
friend if anyone is making a
judgment about what that
means, they too are prejudiced
along with the people who
turn away from my greeting
each day
So why should it surprise us
that Batev experienced it?

Misconceptions
1 am very appreciative of the
story about Aaron Johnson
[ODE, Nov. 30) However, some
misconceptions flowing dim t
ly or indirectly from the text
should be corrected.
We believe God named Ins
church The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints by
ilirei t revelation in 1838 We
proclaim the Book oi Mormon
to be the word of Cod. hence
our nickname However, then
is no Mormon Churt h
While Johnson served his
mission (which consists of
seeking the humble to teach
and baptizing them into the
church) in Salt Lake, others in
the campus ward (a geographi
cally defined body of LDS wor
shippers) served in Germany,
Japan. Ireland, Lis Vegas, Chi
cago, the Philippines and Tex
as, among other places
We have congregations on all
continents, save Antarctica,
and leaders are drawn from
these fellow saints Th« Churt h
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Samis is not a I'tah church or
an American church It is our
Heavenly Father's earthly Winn
dom that loaches his truth and
performs lus work that all who
have, do now. or will live upon
the earth might !>e saved and
dwell with him.
Thank vou again for shining
the spotlight on brother John
son and for your policy of sen
sitivily that assures against fu
ture replication of ihe import i
sums herein pointed out and
made right

you not empathize with her life
experience and perhaps under

from voting I didn't vote at the
