I had occasion to re-read these two articles on the FairMormon Website, and though they deserved to be "plugged" on this blog:
R. McKay White, The Kirtland Safety Society: The Myths, the Facts, and the Prophet's Good Name
McKay V. Jones, “Dead Men Tell No Tales!” The Blood Atonement Balance Sheet (be sure to check out his other excellent article, “Well Nigh as Dangerous”: Latter-day Prophecy and Revelation; Infallibility and Blind Obedience)
