Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I just noticed this bit from another one of our threads: A more efficient approach -- I'm watching it in real time over at the Peterson Obsession Board -- is to simply dismiss all the accounts, sight unseen, accompanied by snorts of derision and, among the higher organisms there, airy but factually-...

Re: Romney on Pardoning Trump
Pardoning Trump would be a great political move. It would cement Trump's guilt with a lot of the population without having to go through trials that could have bad results for those pursuing them. Nah. The introduction of the presidential pardon is the first step down the road to the Republic’s end...

Re: Romney on Pardoning Trump
It is pretty bleak out there. There is Murkowski, but I think she plans to become an Independent.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 8:38 pmI honestly don't see how the GOP escapes Trump's thrall before his death. Every GOP politician with a shred of integrity has stepped aside. The rest are simpleminded lickspittles.

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
This is interesting: https://ldsanswers.org/evidence-transfiguration-brigham-young/ While not one dissenting hand was raised at that conference, thousands today are leaving the Church believing that Brigham Young was not the Prophet Joseph’s legal successor. Was Brigham Heaven’s choice? The transfi...

Romney on Pardoning Trump
In a recent interview, Romney expressed regret that Joe Biden didn’t pardon Trump. Pardoning a president for committing crimes that have nothing to do with his official duties is a huge mistake. Ford was wrong to pardon Nixon. At least one can see how it happened. Ford was, after all, a Republican, ...

Re: Russell McGregor: Online Mopologist Extraordinaire
My favorite Pahoran episode was from ZLMB, when the subject of Ronald E. Poelman's re-taped conference talk was raised. He had never heard of this and outright denied that it could be true. When his fellow apologists on the board finally managed to convince him that it happened, he immediately chan...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
I think a good example of the evolutionary nature of this particular miracle story is how the vast majority of the first-hand accounts of the miracle are from years after it occurred. Even people who were keeping journals at the time only noted in their journals years later that they witnessed it. ...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
You would think the Saints would abandon this obvious artifact of trickery and hokum. It doesn't bother me because I think I understand the nature and role of miracle stories. My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...
