Just to show you the utter bias of it all, the new book "In the Hands of the Lord" on the life of Dallin Oaks he felt the church had come out unscathed at all by the Hoffman incident and was thrilled with how it handled things! There was no impropriety and they all did everything correctly! No, I h...

The Mark Hofmann incident seems to point out how faulty the inspiration model is. The FP and some senior apostles, like Boyd K. Packer, were duped by forged documents. They acted upon it. They caused money (donations) to be paid to Hofmann to secure those faked documents for the Church. Were the FP ...

Finally, cultural biases and preferences have changed. The people who de-emphasized or even excised references to seer stones and the like were moving away from these things because they were unsympathetic to their use, not because they were hiding things to deceive others, in my opinion. Divining ...

In his research with Chapman, the two scholars noted that “the movement frequently positioned itself as 1) a collection of exemplary members of the church and 2) as doing work on the internet that the church needed it to do,” Yes, after all, none of the prophets, apostles, or seventies are writing ...

I can definitely see why some might see it as very good and I can see why some might not see it as so good, perhaps even go so far as saying it might ...

Ok. This looks like you wish to expose and punish him for the dance parties still. It doesn't have anything to do with what he says about Mormonism and really is a logical fallacy and usually disallowed if in a court proceeding. It's a small point but seems worth making. My view on this kind of thi...

Exactly what I was thinking... Due to the fact that the missing page(s) is MISSING in action, then it leads one to conclude that it's missing for a reason. I wonder what that reason might be? The page(s) didn't just disappear or for that matter get lost of their own accord. No, the records have bee...

It has been years and years since I read Doctrines of Salvation. I was then yet a TBM. I recently came across a set. I don't have the time or the inclination to read the volumes, cover to cover, again. I am wondering if there is a good list of its bizarre "doctrines" anywhere? I'd also like to hear ...
