Re: What would the downside have been?
That's really something, considering they should have tacked on another 50 billion easy to the mega fund with the covid-tech stock runup over the last few months. with that windfall at the expense of the suffering of tens of millions already, you'd think they'd take the minor tithing hit and spare ...

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
Their idea of doctrine, however, is incredibly odd. So, let's imagine for the sake of argument that Jesus defined core doctrine as this: love God and love your fellow humans, and all else hangs on this. Where does a literally ancient Book of Mormon or Book of Abraham relate to this? Why even bother...

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
Thompson owes Radio Free Mormon a citation for having beaten him to the punch with the Amazingly Subsersive Teryl Givens episode.

What would the downside have been?
Like all of you, I find myself looking at the virus data more frequently these days. And asking myself: what is the perceived downside that prevents Russell M. Nelson from urging all members everywhere, speaking as their prophet, to always wear face masks and strictly socially distance during the pa...

Re: Blake Ostler Levels Additional Threats on "Faith Promoting Rumor"
For a guy who wrote actual volumes on philosophical Mormon thought, Blake sure has a lot of anger about the idea of engaging the merits of ideas without a person to attack. Does he really imagine his credibility grows by such petulant tantrums?

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
But the article, while chiding Givens for straying from the Mopologetic Plantation by not agreeing Smith actually translated an ancient Egyptian text into English, never seems to understand why that theory was discarded by Givens in the first place. So true. They take some of Givens’ assumptions an...

Re: An exotic new argument for eye-witness testimony
The witnesses never impressed me, for the same reason that the “blue wall” enables cops to get away with literal murder. Once you’ve lied enough, the interpersonal web of consequences and benefits becomes incredibly tangled. When faced with opportunity, it all just becomes a matter of picking which ...

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
This was a strange article indeed, and well called out Doctor. Thompson’s main points amount to a sneaky straw man on the word “bricolage” — narrowing the definition of bricolage from an abstract, creative technique to something that Joseph did specifically without regard to the “original intent or ...

Re: Bible Prophecy Donald Trump the Anti-Christ
His name shall be spoken of both good and evil.
Where have I heard that before?
Here is Kenneth Copeland and Stephen Strang talking about the many ways God is using Donald Trump, in fulfillment of Biblical patterns.
