I'm thinking we're being studied.

Yeah, something like that. As though MD is a microcosm of Mormonism in general...........

You can do your own research here: m A simple search for "Joseph Smith" shows the following decade-by-decade breakdown: 1900s - 895 1910s - 1103 1920s - 1386 1930s - 867 1940s - 890 1950s - 784 1960s - 1166 1970s - 1055 1980s - 793 1990s - 807 2000s - 991 2010 - 2011 - 351 There can be hu...

He asked the FP to respond to him personally as a "professional courtesy." I lol'd when I read that. What exactly is that supposed to mean, anyway? WTF is a "professional courtesy" in this context? I'm sorry, but the more I hear from/about John Dehlin, the more convinced I am th...

I published a very short piece in Sunstone in 2009. I was somewhat surprised at how grateful they were to receive something from a "faithful" member, and went out of their way to tell me so. I have been on an internet list with a couple of the editors. I once or twice complained about the...

I can't claim credit for the idea, but I had a lot of fun writing this. m ! Very well done. I admit I wasn't able to finish reading the blog post by Mormonism's answer for Phyllis Schlafly , so I probably didn't "get" some of the references as well as I might have. It was just soooooooooo...

MD Friends, I have been "called" to serve in one of the many cyber wards and stakes popping up as a result of the John Dehlin excommunication. I am humbled by the trust that has been placed in me and am looking forward to exciting work ahead! I imagine that my participating here and at ot...

45 pages? Doesn't Dehlin realize that he doesn't need a transcript to prove them wrong? He just needs to publicly state (i.e. "testify") to any one of the points they accuse him of not believing. So, if they're wrong about his disbelief of the Book of Mormon and Book of Abraham, he just n...

As cynical as I may seem, I was really taken aback by the incompetent way in which John Dehlin's case was handled by King. Now, like you, I don't blame King. He is thrust into a situation for which the Church has done very little to prepare him. He has no training, and, as much as people criticize ...

I saw a dance between two sides with an agenda. This. This transcript is really quite remarkable. President King was a poorly prepared tool. He came with a directive and authority to discipline but hardly anything else. No kidding! I admit I could only manage to get through about 1/2 of it before I...
