Re: RFM and Washington State Bar Complaints

The Washington state bar never saw it coming. How could they ever plan for the eventuality that a mousy homewrecker might send them frivolous complaints?

This could be precedent setting.

I'm a 10% full tithe payer (for the sake of family relations). I also attend the temple at least twice a month (again for the sake of family relations).
That was a nightmare I'm so glad I escaped from.

Re: Gemli explains...

I remember several scholars pointing out that the modern conception of history is a very recent phenomenon. The idea that someone recounts a story exactly as it happened, to preserve a real historical record, is a modern thing. Many ancient people would have recounted stories with embellishment, or...

Re: Daniel McClellan Responds To The Apologists' Skin of Blackness Explanation

Over at the Peterson Obsession Board, denigrating and mocking Stephen Smoot (presumably because he threatens their position) is a popular occasional pastime, as is, much less frequently, lionizing Dan McClellan (because they esteem him, whether correctly or not, as a potent weapon against Latter-da...

Re: Open Message to the Open Stories Foundation Board of Directors

Oh for “F”'s sake. Stop being a drama queen. If you have information state it. This parseling out of "clues" is ridiculous. Post the information you have about the case in question or don't. Don’t call women drama queens. And don’t flatter yourself. I’m not here to give you or anyone else clues. Wh...

Re: Gemli explains...

Thank you for getting this thread back on track. This thread is getting derailed by these legal arguments about evidence that is not of the type gemli meant when he used his shorthand of "stories require evidence" to indicate he was talking about supernatural stories which are stand alone stories w...

To be fair I think all of her posts the last two days can be combined into a single thread, they’re all just whining about John again.

Re: Gemli explains...

What stories would be evidence that not only God exists, but that Mormonism is the religion that has the correct details about his existence? The ones we have, apparently. If Mormon God wants only a few people to accept that God exists and Joseph was his true prophet, then he crafted the perfect st...

Re: Gemli explains...

Are you not similarly making a categorical rejection of stories which are fantastical in nature? I also think Gemli would say his rejection of the story is not based solely on them being religious, but that they have similarly fantastical elements that are present in works of fiction like Lord of t...

Re: SEN indulges in gossip and innuendo

Back in 2016... Permit me to explain what I’m up to. I’m here in the Kirtland area for a new Interpreter Foundation movie project. (Our previous effort, on the late Mormon composer and former Tabernacle organist Robert Cundick, is now essentially complete.) My classes are covered. We have a film cr...
