Incredible Story Series, Rich Kelsey
The first three parts of the Incredible Story Series on Mormonism by Rich Kelsey document Book of Mormon changes, problems with Joseph Smith’s First Vision, the 1826 People vs. Joseph Smith glass looking trial, as well as testimony from Book of Mormon witnesses; the final part in the series exposes anachronisms in the Mormon work entitled the Book of Moses.

"Rich's articles are such a wonderful read, he
has done very thorough and impressive research on the LDS church, and its
history.
It is refreshing to read something that isn't just angry
bitter words which is what most non-Mormon articles seem to be. His article's
present the facts with sound logic behind his statements.
As an ex-Mormon, I find myself enjoying his writings, I think it is
because his articles come off as a relaxed conversation instead of somebody
ranting about the LDS church; it's a new perspective."

Hi Rich
“You have a great lead-in, with the "clean cut Mormon" approach, and I think your organization is great. I considered suggesting you follow up the lead-in with the Book of Mormon Story, taking it chronologically, but I think you're right to give readers the "Reason for Doubt" as soon as you do, so you can hook them with wanting to know more.
You've done a mind-boggling amount of research here--very, very fascinating. (There were times I exclaimed my responses aloud. Wow!)
Argumentation: For the most part, your arguments are clear and valid. I really believe in the importance of this piece.
Sincerely,

“I read your article. Great layout, easy reading, rich and documented well. Thanks; I'm always glad to get the truth out there and hoping that I may be planting a seed. I've never visited your site before the other day.
I think you have information in a great format with easy reading style to
present to investigators with open minds. It's hard sometimes to follow some
events in the Mormon church without convolution. Your work is convincing."

“…this is by far the best writing I've seen from you yet! As far as content, you do a great job of setting this up as a trial, using argumentation, evidence, etc. to back up your points. It is definitely easy to read and understand! Fabulous writing, Rich!"

“In Joseph Smith on Trial, Rich Kelsey has presented concise and well thought out evidence for the basic falsity of Smith's assertions which form the very basis of the Mormon faith. This logical well-written tome, presented in the form of a simulated "trial," should be required reading for anyone who considers Smith to be anything other than one of the greatest con artists of all time.
Thank you Mr. Kelsey!”

“I read your article. It was very good! I like how the Mormon teachings just fall apart when put to the test of the 'legal' system, which is essentially just good logic. You haven't happened to have written one on the Jehovah's Witnesses, have you? If you haven't, please do!" Jamie
