Hello Kevin, You said: "I just had in mind some Facebook comments you made on the day the Church released the Book of Abraham essay back in July. You were excited as all get out about it. You said you contacted a friend who works at the SLT, and the commentary you provided him/her would be publ...

Dear Friends, Thank you so much for the kind words and support expressed throughout this thread. I'm grateful for the long-time friendship I have enjoyed with many here, including Kevin Graham. I would like to correct a couple of points that Kevin shared: 1. I have never contacted anyone in the medi...

I was told by an "informant" that, in the lead-up to DB getting "interrogated" at BYU, Peterson had been openly telling people that he was "worried" about David's "spiritual health," so take that for what it's worth. That's alright, I'm worried about his too!...

Like I said, I don't know that I have personally ever listened to any of John's podcasts. I just know that what he does has worked for some and for that I appreciate his efforts. I'm assumi...

Thank you friends for the kind wishes. I do need to clarify, however, that the position in Mormon Studies is a one year assignment that will be offered to PhD's interested in teaching courses in Mormon studies from here on out. I'm really pleased to see the U of U move in this direction. The profess...

Hello Friends, Despite my sincere love for you all, I don't want to get too distracted from other projects by responding on message boards. I hope that won't offend anyone. I just tend to get a little OCD on everything in which I engage. However, I would like to clarify a couple issues: 1. I don't b...

I've used the example of my faithful, temple-worthy, mission-serving parents as well. They are adamant democrats, and use the Book of Mormon to justify their preference for that party. Harry Reid appealed to the Book of Mormon to support his views too, in his BYU devotional. He did a good job of po...
