Re: DCP Admits that Joseph Smith's Polygamy was "Probably" Motivated by "Sexual Desire"
Was there an element of sexual desire in at least some of his marriages? Probably. Sexual desire exists in most marriages, I hope. It would be a very sad marriage that was completely without it. is he actually referring to sexual desire beyond that for his legal wife? Let me be more specific. Peter...

DCP Admits that Joseph Smith's Polygamy was "Probably" Motivated by "Sexual Desire"
In the midst of trying yet again to paint old Mormon leaders as "complex" (that is, to try to whitewash them and to downplay the bad things they did), Dr. Peterson has at last toppled over a decades-old Mopologetic edifice : I'm far less inclined than some are to speak of Joseph Smith and his action...

Re: Boylan's Blog Removed
Wow.... If this is true, it represents a devastating blow to Mopologetics. They have been warned countless times about how their tactics will eventually backfire, but they never (or seldom?) seem to listen. Has anyone checked Boylan's Twitter/X feed to see if he has said anything about this on that ...

Re: Kirton McConkie's Randy Austin called as Area Seventy
It's striking to compare Pres. Nelson's comment with the Mopologists' views on mortality. Here is Nelson, nearly 100 years old, thanking the Lord "every day for the privilege of still being here.' Meanwhile, Midgley refers to this life as a "probation," and Dr. Peterson was brimming with excited gid...

Re: FAIR Partners with the Valiant Conference: Has a New Mopologetic Organization Emerged?
Yep. Great point. You'd think there'd be some legit alt-right counter anger out there, but this doesn't have that authentic feel, does it? will be interesting to see how long it lasts. I think that the number of women who truly want to live in Gilead is limited. Unfortunately, a few others might be...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
If this is really what they believe then they’ve got that word on the front of the book that they believe is the “truest book on Earth” and a “New Testament of Jesus Christ.” Maybe they need to start censoring the Book of Mormon?

Re: Interpreter 2.0?
Perhaps she converted, and he wasn't interested, or he converted and she didn't. Just because one party or even both parties want to be together doesn't mean they will. I was at a gathering with Henry Eyring speaking a few years ago, and he went on and on about how hard the work is in the spirit wo...

Re: FAIR Board Member and Mopologist, Juliann Reynolds Is Openly Criticizing The Church's Treatment Of LGTBQ Members
That's actually not surprising at all. What was surprising was that back in the Z days, she was oblivious to the fact that FARMS was a bunch of reactionary, right-wing nutjobs that had nothing to do with the liberal values that she mistakenly thought made the backbone of the Church. Man, she was so...

FAIR Partners with the Valiant Conference: Has a New Mopologetic Organization Emerged?
I was passed an interesting tidbit earlier by an "informant." It turns out that FAIR Mormon has teamed up with another organization for this year's annual FAIR Conference: Our partners, the Valiant Conference, join us in nurturing confident expressions of faith both online and offline. FAIR's tradit...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?
Ah, well then. I guess that’s what I get for trying to see him in a positive light? I go out on a limb and assume he’s being authentic and actually posting something original in honor of Easter—but no! Yet another rehash.
