Re: BYP Responds to Elder Bednar - It is Inappropriate to Ask Questions on the Sabbath After the Sacrament

Bednar himself hosted a Q&A on the Sabbath… https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/news/elder-bednar-teaches-byu-i-students-a-pattern-for-getting-their-questions-answered?lang=eng Why is Bednar facilitating a Q&A session on the Sabbath when he denounces it in a separate breath as inappropriate?...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

Likewise. You have been, and still are, one of my favorite people. Seeing your jovial personality, keen intellect, and well intentioned spirit on a recent podcast, is what drew me back here. You are a genuinely a loveable guy. My only regret is that we don't have you fighting the good fight on our ...

Re: Prominent critics who have joined the church

How about this: https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/sexual-reproduction Thanks, Wade Englund Lol. Last time that website was referenced here was when Markk used it, only to find out that it took the definition of "woman" from Webster’s dictionary, published in 1913. Hmmm...I just did a search ...

The Backyard Professor will never, ever, defend the Book of Abraham again. I can assure you, my apprentice is well trained and fully capable of handling the likes of any Book of Abraham apologetics! https://media1.giphy.com/media/l3diT8stVH9qImalO/giphy.gif?cid=790b76117778cf4db1b9cfd0fd52c4d807f81...

Re: BYP Responds to Elder Bednar - It is Inappropriate to Ask Questions on the Sabbath After the Sacrament

I am so glad it resonated with you. Some people might have felt insulted to be compared with vain psycho-babbling. But, not you. If the shoe fits... Thanks, Wade Englund The shoe fits. Would you please put the other one on too? :lol: How nice. A variation on the Pee Wee Herman theme. https://m.medi...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

I 2nd this. Good to see you active and posting a bit and mixing it up Wade. Always good exercise for my own brain cells when I do so - GRIN! And heavens knows, at this age, I need it... :lol: Likewise. You have been, and still are, one of my favorite people. Seeing your jovial personality, keen int...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

Wow….you read his Facebook page every day? You must be quite a fan. I am a huge fan. Dr Peterson is highly intelligent, articulate, insightful, witty, and engaging. I am just one of hundreds of people who actively follow his Facebook posts. And that’s interesting that you don’t see any of his effor...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

So as far as I can tell "gathering" is not apologetics because ii doesn't presume a rational basis for discussion. At least that's what I gather in attempted conversations with Wade. If so, i too applaud such a perspective. There is no rational convincing of faith. It is anti-intellectual and must ...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

I found this happening with me quite often as an apologists, and even to some degree now as a "gatherer." I would begin posting with joy in my heart and a desire to respectfully interact with those I disagree with, and often by the end of the session I would feeling sick in my heart at what I had d...

Re: Prominent critics who have joined the church

Human feet have evolved for walking and running, and maybe climbing. Those are the main natural purposes of feet. That doesn't mean, though, that there's anything wrong with using those feet to kick a soccer ball, or to stand on tiptoe in order to reach something up on a shelf. Many human features ...
