What’s so miserable about the uniforms on gemli’s comments? Floppy berets? Bulky epaulettes? :lol: Yes! :smile: ! And the weird, discordant, totally unaware thing is that hugely error-prone L.M. tends to be the first to jump on people's typos, and make a big deal of them, mocking and demanding expl...

This is slightly off topic, yet relevant I think. Regarding the travels of LDS folk ... I recall a conversation with an ex-LDS friend of considerable means who mentioned that, while a faithful member, he and his wife travelled frequently. They still, up until covid-19 restrictions, tended to go on v...

I like to think of this as Loopy Lou being playful with Moky Moksha.

I hope your generosity of spirit rubs off on those who could use a big dose!

(It just occurred to me that one always has the option to Choose the Right ... good choice, Moksha!)

I have been a huge Kerry fan dating clear back to his FAIR Conference videos. Those were epic, and I cannot tell you the sheer pleasure I got from the opportunity to review them. That level of enthusiasm and passion is infectious. He really won me over in that regard. You can say that again. Kerry'...

... Again, if it is comportment like this that got Peterson and Midgley kicked out of Maxwell and off BYU campus, i am not surprised at all. I'm not surprised either. One of the returned missionaries that I know was treated badly by the apologists online, is part of a very well-connected LDS family...

I really wish that Dr.s Midgley and Peterson could see how others see them. When I came across that 2007 By Common Consent blog, it was because I was interested in seeing what Midgley had written about the Maori. I have an interest in writings about the intersection between indigenous people and Chr...

Just came across a fascinating foray by Professor Midgley in the comments of a blog (By Common Consent Maori, Mormons and Metageneology 2007). Thirteen years later, not much has changed. His protector then, too, was Professor Peterson (as shown in the comments ... way too much text to bring here, bu...

What has struck me throughout my awareness from afar of the Mormon apologists associated first with FARMS and then with Interpreter, is the hero worship of figures like Hugh Nibley (especially in the further past) and Daniel Peterson (especially in the near past and present). See how essential was B...

I notice that Dr. Peterson is vehemently insisting that he does not/has not attacked the beliefs of non-LDS believers. While this is anecdotal, I clearly remember several years ago when DCP wrote a stinging critique of the Trinity. (If I recall correctly, it was Ms Jack who drew attention to it.) Pe...

I sense that Dr. Midgley is impressed by credentials. Not that I expect him to read this, or to care in the slightest about who I am ... but, if I were speaking with him, here's what I'd say. Yes, I know something about missionary experience. I've lived and worked in a very remote part of Africa for...
