I was sent this tidbit by an anonymous informant: Really Tyler? There are reasons that people might want to leave the church, but I would hope that the CES letter is not one of them. There's a little problem with being factually inaccurate. If 1 of my students wrote that they would get an F for the...

I would just say Mormon. I don't really invest in the concept of "believing" as in "affirming propositions that I cannot possibly prove." At the same time, I think we all live our lives doing things that are driven by our investment in narratives and assumptions that we don't feel the need to defen...

Seriously? Yep, I can envisage that is where he is heading. I could be wrong of course. But as I said, google “cynical” and you’ll get me. I think there's reason to be cynical. Not about his motives for resigning, but about his reasons for resigning in such a public way. After all, he could have ju...

It strains credulity, but then Daniel is a master at weaving stories for the credulous.

Just like 99% of DCP's stories, this too never happened.

I once ran into Thomas Monson in the temple. My wife and I were waiting for the elevator. The doors opened, and he was in car with I think two others, but it was full. So we waited.

I suspect the training will likely involve intervals and burpees.

More likely, just another boring talk where nothing new is discussed, but the audience is still told how really, really important it is.

I think the most likely scenario is that it stressed the poor guy to the point that it compromised fatally his delicate health. Yes, that's the most likely scenario. Nevertheless, if the junior Ballard is found unalived or suicided, then I'll take a second, much harder look. 95 year olds tend to di...

Greetings, Friends and Colleagues. Sometimes there are moments in Mopologetics that really make you scratch your head in bafflement. I don't know about you, but I didn't think I would see the day that an article in "Mormon Interpreter" used the pornographic magazine Playboy to make an apologetic po...

The rain came, 3 months later . In the Fall. That's not a miracle from paying tithing. That's a natural rain fall pattern. The rain would fall regardless of tithing contributions, Snow was just scamming them for money because Church Leadership had messed up the Church finances. Again. You have to h...

drumdude, a colorful suggestion you have here. Have you actually experienced such a thing? Horrendously foul and distasteful song. Ok you stirred my curiosity. What sort of song would qualify here? I nominate Iron Man, Black Sabbath. back in the day I listened to radio music some and that would com...
