Re: Will Schryver Spits in the Face of John Tvedtnes

Are either of you going to answer any of my questions? Or is this just another of those attack with no substance threads you're known for, so you ignore every post but your own? If so, I'll not bother to read any further. Harmony, Come on, now. The "substance" here is the behind-the-scene...

Re: Nominations for the Hughies

Least substantive apologist - Nehor (I'm actually voting Nehor in this category as a kick in the butt. He actually has a very solid gospel understanding, but instead, is content to drop one-liners. I think that Nehor has more to offer than he is showing.) Of course I do, I used to try to offer it. ...

Re: Will Schryver Spits in the Face of John Tvedtnes

Dr. Robbers--- This is fascinating indeed. Was he "forced out" of the MI? Is this why he's now an "associate" at SHIELDS? You know, it long seemed evident that there were divided factions within the ranks of the apologist, and this only adds more support. Another thing: I recall ...

Re: Will Schryver Spits in the Face of John Tvedtnes

This is all pretty fascinating. I'm left to wonder how much of Will's criticism reflects his own detailed study, and how much reflects his desire to promote himself by jumping on the popular theory and leaving the fellow apologist originator of the competing theory to the vultures in a heated repud...

Will Schryver Spits in the Face of John Tvedtnes

Thanks to an informant's tip, I was keyed into a fascinating, aptly named MADthread, where Will "Wheat" Schryver is gloating about his demolition of John "The Hatchet" Tvedtnes's Book of Abraham theories. The thread can be read in its entirety here: m It is always interesting to ...

Re: Mopologetics & Priesthood Authority

I'm wondering what term the brethren use when setting apart apologists like DCP, Midgley, and Hamblin? Do they set them apart as "apologists" or "defenders of the faith" or something else? I surmise that they use the term "defenders of the faith". It has a nice, positi...

Re: MatthewG Stages an Ambush at MAD

Now, given the context of this, what are you led to believe? Do you in any way suspect that among that rather larger number would be things like scripture quizzes and screw-around pieces for SHIELDS? Or, instead, are you led to believe that Tvedtnes is a hardcore scholar who has produced an astonis...

Feel free to cough up some real proof.


I already adduced LDS culture and ritual as evidence.
