Lol. Talk about a case of projection! “Self-destructively nurse their prideful grudges”? I never could have come up with a better description of the Mopologists than that. It’s absolutely perfect. This is a great point with startling conclusions that I didn't appreciate until I put my pot of tea to...

More information is {always} better. One wonders why then the Church kept so much historical information (Joseph’s polygamy, the seer stone etc) from Church members for so long (and only started putting some information out once third parties had let the various cats out of their various bags). One...

Andres Gonzalez, 19, stands on the balcony of his Los Angeles apartment, his hands in his suit pockets. It is his first week as a missionary, but today, instead of approaching people on the street, he is shooting a video that he will later post to social media. After about a dozen takes, he is succ...

If we want to get into real problems with the organization of the LDS Church, let’s discuss the lack of a Smith patriarch. As Brigham himself said, without a patriarch over the Church, the Church is not fully organized. The LDS Church is not fully organized as I type this post. It has been in this ...

You're right, of course. Unfortunately for him, me, and maybe the board, I always have hope. I see my brother in MG. In fact, have to continuously remind myself that MG is not my literal bother. My brother has the same responses, the same tactics, the same style, the same beliefs. And I love him de...

If we break down every single choice a person makes and determine whether that choice was made using free will, we would fine that that would vary. We have a sense of freedom will with things like how we wear our clothes. The limitation is the availability of clothes that we own. So owning the clot...

FAIR doesn’t portray the event as quite so miraculous. some Saints specifically state that as Brigham Young addressed the congregation he sounded and appeared remarkably like Joseph Smith, others simply say that the “mantle of Joseph” or “of the prophets” rested on Brigham Young, and others state th...

In my judgment, the available evidence is persuasive that the story of Brigham’s transfiguration was being told quite early, and it’s difficult to imagine that so many testimonies over so long a period and from such far-flung areas emerged from a conspiracy to deceive or from a mysterious “contagio...
