|link= Non-existent quotes/Haight: assistance of the moon
 
|subject=Did David B. Haight use astrological ideas about the moon, only to be censored later?
 
|summary=It is claimed that Elder David B. Haight "reinvoked the astrological principle that people should 'do nothing without the assistance of the moon'" in a talk that he gave during General Conference in 1998. One critic takes this a step further by claiming that the phrase "do nothing without the assistance of the moon" was deleted from the transcribed version of Elder Haight's talk. This claim has evolved over time due to successive misinterpretation of the original sources.
