I have bought now extensive materials on the JST, and in reading them don't find it essential that members study them. They are of passing interest but not essential.

So, Tex, what did you mean by the quotation marks around "unfinished", anyway? Is it the same as us calling you "smart"?
Mommy, mommy! Everyone misunderstands me! Why is that, anyway?

I think of it as a first pass. I'm curious how much of the Bible Joseph Smith would excise altogether or how much of the Apocrypha should be in there with the aid of a little divine proofreading.
