Re: A big hello

:lol: I think we all should just stipulate that we have all been jerks at one point or another on this and/or previous boards, i.e. human, and go from there. I'll drink to that. Amen! You know, I apologized a couple of times in various threads to being so difficult directly to you when you were a m...

Re: A big hello

Philo Sofee/Kerry, I will chastise you as I know you personally. You are a pure Jerk since your change of beliefs, Um, did you ever read his comments in the old-old-old days? Given what I have seen, he was a colossal jerk back then so why chastise him now? :lol: I think we all should just stipulate...

Re: A big hello

I don't think anyone will be angered or enraged by your posts; this is a pretty open place and everyone is welcome to tell their story. The parts of the story you told where you talked about your personal relationship to the lds church and how you feel about your personal choices was quite interesti...

Re: A big hello

You people get on here and find fault. Go ahead and expose what you disagree with if you wish, but in a dignified matter, as there is plenty of imperfection to find, as with any human-run organization. It isn't surprising that there is human faults in an organization run by humans, and with those w...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Every time I look at this research, another thing comes up wonky. The very first phrase from pre-print part 4 that is determined to be evidence the Book of Mormon language is archaic is "drink in with." This phrase was also in Skousen's NOL, in a section where they were considering whether phrases w...

Re: Fairmormon's T. I. T. S.

And the dishonesty/inaccuracy of these videos is so breathtakingly vertiginous as to be counterproductive and damaging. These guys treat the CES letter as though it were something that it is not. The history of the CES letter matters. Its origin as the research process of a struggling member accoun...

Re: Fairmormon's T. I. T. S.

The point of these videos are to show just how ridiculous the CES Letter is.
