Seariac is far more deserving than the other nominees. Well chosen, Doctor!

When did Doctor Peterson withdraw his support?

Jackson's article comes off as not much more than a desire to fulfill the need put out by Oaks that someone needs to say something when critiques come out. It doesn't matter too much what it is, but you have to respond. Right. Jackson actually sows doubt in a Clarke influence on the JST in at least...

Why does it matter whether Joseph plagiarized 1% or 100% of the JST? That’s like saying it isn’t a bank robbery unless you get all the money.

Sheesh. No wonder Jackson goes for the jugular on Wayment as he does. It will be interesting to see how Jackson addresses the matter once Wayment releases all of the "hundreds" of instances of Clarke-borrowing he found with Wilson-Lemmon.

I have no particular insight about this, but would imagine that Wyatt now goes to bed on Thursdays with a sense of foreboding dread. No doubt he understands perfectly well that your calling attention to the reoccurring slights assures that (a) he will never again be publicly and properly thanked by ...

It may have been more than 1 million, if all the marriages and multiplying began in the low teen years, which is likely tautological if we could q...

I would love to know where to find the apologetic answer on FAIR Mormon. "Why didn't Joseph Smith make daily study of the Book of Mormon a priority?" "Why didn't Joseph Smith teach more frequently from the Book of Mormon?" The answer makes its own case from the data: because the Book of Mormon was a...

What exactly is it that makes being born to an out-of-wedlock couple a "bitter fruit?" We know divorce rate is something like 50%, no better in the church. Would D. Todd agree that half of all married-couple births also destined to become bitter fruits, too? And I wonder what the data says about out...

Eh, I think it's silly to blow this one out of proportion. It was a poorly proofread sentence, nothing more. Mistakes like these are predictable enough, since the goal is so singularly on keeping members afraid of stepping outside of the church-defined chalk line of morality. Did anyone else see the...

That's too bad. Hopefully the masks and socially distanced chairs prove to have done their job during this weekend's 10 hours of conference sessions.
