I'm afraid, however, that I have no idea what you're referring to. If JT did in fact misrepresent his academic accomplishments (which based upon my associations with him I find hard to believe) then of course I would not approve of the act. Next question, please. Check out his website: m In particu...

Now, now. Last time I checked, Jskains is an adult. While you might take issue with some portions of the tone in my OP, I've really done nothing wrong. If anything, I've done a favor for all those who claim to care about [deleted] ---now you can contact him in order to persuade him to give up his a...

Wow. Pure quintessential Scratchism. Make a totally unfounded and unsupported claim that it totally out of his warped conspiracy theory mind and when challenged, why demand proof that his wild claim is false. You are loosing it Scratch. "Loosing" a new theory? Why, yes! I am! And my specu...

I don't know how many total articles John has authored, Well then, Dave, you are avoiding the issue. You told Latayne that you disapproved of people who "misrepresent" their accomplishments. Well, Tvedtnes claimed to have authored "300 articles," when, in fact, he was counting s...

I don't think its a stretch that DCP would have been set apart for his role with FARMS .. I'm not familiar with how BYU operates in relation to the Church, so it could be possible. It just seems really weird to have people "set apart" for their jobs. Are employees at the COB "set apa...

Do the apologists feel that their work is spiritual? I think there is a difference between considering your work to be guided spiritually and proclaiming that God has revealed certain things to you. In other words, I think the apologists view their work as spiritual, but they do no set themselves u...

Do you think they were "set apart" in some sense? Not in the usual sense and I don't know what else you mean. I just meant that there is some sort of tacit understanding between the Brethren and the "big-league" apologists, perhaps with some laying-on-of-the-hands involved. Now,...

It was the scope from the other end he was talking about. And I wonder why it was done. The bottom end is done after a certain age as a matter of good health care, but the top end isn't done as a matter of course. It's only done for a reason. One must have symptoms, they must be uncontrolled, and t...

No, I don't think DCP, Hamblin, and other apologists are praying for spiritual confirmation in their apologetic efforts. I think they treat it as an extension of their scholarly, intellectual pursuits, and less as an extension of their spiritual lives. Likewise, I doubt very many readers are prayin...
