Re: Pissing on "Frenchy"'s Grave?; Or, a Case Study in Mopologetic Selfishness

Does it take more than once to stick? In fact, the proxy baptisms for the Signers had been completed in stages by various people starting in Nauvoo and ending in 1876. John D. T. McAllister, who helped Woodruff in the temple, had even participated in doing some of the Signers’ work six years earlie...

Re: Pissing on "Frenchy"'s Grave?; Or, a Case Study in Mopologetic Selfishness

I must confess that Spencer W. Kimball’s piercing words nearly 50 years ago about the urgency of doing temple work have long haunted me. In my view, they should continue to haunt the daily thoughts and nocturnal dreams and inspire nightmares of every faithful Latter-day Saint: The spirit world is fu...

Re: Pissing on "Frenchy"'s Grave?; Or, a Case Study in Mopologetic Selfishness

LOL. So he's happy, and finds it to be "wonderfully good news" that Frenchy and either Wife #1 or Wife #2 are going to be reunited, but he also understands that their marriage has essentially been dissolved . They're just friends or acquaintances, I guess? Their actual marriage relationship no long...

Re: A Darkness Settles Over "6 Days in August"

The situation is worse than I imagined. Money problems, the set is leaking like a sieve, anachronisms (I’ve heard rumors that part of the filming of a movie set in the 1830s and 1840s is being done in Upper Canada Village , which is intended to depict rural English Canadian life in 1866!), and we ha...

Re: A Darkness Settles Over "6 Days in August"

I am informed by the film’s producer that the stray man will be brushed out of the scene during the “sweetening” stage of post-production. Everybody Wang Chung, is Six Days still set for release in late summer? The Relief Society sister in Parowan recently mentioned to me that the Little Old Lady f...

Re: It's Time For The Church To Give Bigfoot/Cain The Priesthood

I agree that it's time. I am unreliably informed that Everybody Wang Chung's post has inspired four Kirton McConkie junior associates to begin burning the midnight oil analyzing the relevant General Handbook provisions on repentance and church membership councils to determine if Cain has a case for ...

I guess we can all be thankful that he is not riding a lawnmower. Man, I hope this scene makes the Final Cut. I am informed by the film’s p...

Re: DCP Admits that Joseph Smith's Polygamy was "Probably" Motivated by "Sexual Desire"

is he actually referring to sexual desire beyond that for his legal wife? Let me be more specific. Peterson is discussing, and defining as normal and expected, Smith's sexual desire for his (multiple!!) other illegal and immoral conquests, beyond that of his wife to whom he was legally wed, correct...

These are cool stories, much better than mine. I have shaken a few GA hands, but that is about it. My closest encounter was an interview with a Seventy when I applied for a job at BYU. That was memorable.
Have you told that story here or elsewhere online? I hope it will be preserved in some way.

Re: FAIR Partners with the Valiant Conference: Has a New Mopologetic Organization Emerged?

Apparently the proprietor is also in the dark about Valiant Conference: I will be speaking at the 2024 FAIR conference, which, this year, will bear the title of FAIR and Valiant Voices: United in Faith and will represent the alliance of two distinct organizations, FAIR and something called Valiant C...
