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.

Re: Is Something "Amiss" at "Mormon Interpreter"?
This thread is worthy of your nom de guerre, Doctor. This head scratching apologetic is a trophy case of “heads I win, tails you lose.” Had Joseph taught frequently from the Book of Mormon, rest assured that tidbit would be trumpeted by Mopologists as evidence he found the record precious, divine, c...

Re: Has the Baton Been Passed from Gee to Smoot?
In how many ancient cultures was literature marked by summarizing chapter & section headings? I would think more common than not. It’s like a common courtesy to the reader. More importantly, in how many cultures is there no evidence of any summarizing chapter and section heads in the extant literatu...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims
Dear Everybody Wang Chung, FAIR appears to play a shell game with factual statements to anticipate and slip past your accusation, don't they? I mean, in actuality, nothing in the FAIR entry is falsifiable at all. Let me explain. Their presentation has 3 independent parts: (1) Joseph WOULD have known...

Re: Mormon Discussions needs your help!
I am convinced that the Dean has managed to clone himself, perhaps more than once. How else could he flawlessly manage so many simultaneous tasks? You may jest, but now I have to share a real observation. Last year, about this time, I noticed Dean Robbers escorting a guest from the sub-basement lab...

Well done, team Cassius! The Dean is to be commended for his exceptional leadership during this period of social and technological upheaval.
