Re: Paul H. Dunn’s Blatant Lies
The weird thing here is that the impossible details are just chrome. The miraculous break from reality isn't something like, "And the blind beggar saw!" Making it through gunfire unscathed should be the actual good part, but it's merely lucky, not impossible. The crazy parts are the helmet getting ...

Re: Approaching the Facsimiles
Two LDS scholars (Royal Skousen & Terryl Givens) have accepted the view that the interpretations of Smith of the facsimiles are wrong. Skousen suggests they could be dropped and the written content of the Book of Abraham be accepted as given by revelation. So this paper is I believe a must read for...

Re: DCP: the Church is basically behaving exactly the way that we would expect that a large non-profit would behave
Daniel Peterson recently posted a link to an article at Public Square Magazine called THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS THE WASHINGTON POST FORGOT that makes an astounding claim: The best estimates put the Church’s annual spending at about 4-5% of its savings. That level of spending of a fund’s principal may s...

Re: The great 'de-churching'
Certainly it must be due to the one and only true factor: those who dechurch do so in order to sin. Ref. DCP and his mopologetic co-horts.

Re: To RFM; Re: Jenn Kamp
Complaints to the state bar about an attorney have become commonplace compared to the frequency in past decades. In my legal practice, I sometimes defend other attorneys against whom clients (or even opposing parties) have filed complaints. They almost always are flailing allegations with no evidenc...

Re: DCP posting personal information of Cody Temple critics
Well, that was interesting. I was contacted by someone named Hillary from the BBC's Content and Brand Protection Team. We chatted a bit, and I suggested to her that the BBC run a crawl script through on his blog to tack down a hard number of times he's plagiarized their material. She thanked me and...

Re: Did your exit bring you sadness or happiness?
Neither. Relief from the drudgery and nonsense was the immediate benefit. But then you have to make your way in a world that you don't understand and that can bring in new sets of problems that you could have been sheltered from by staying in the harness. My experience as well--after I'd gone throu...

Not much mention lately of the CES Letter
Are the LDS Corp. and its apologists yet attacking and trying to defend against the CES Letter? Or have they given up? Or have they hoped by not mentioning it, not as many Mormons will read it?

Re: Three Questions (Split from, ‘Vogel Responds …’)
My thoughts are you're a gullible dupe, and a waste of time. 25 years of these interactions, and you're still at square one. What would we do without Herr Heiliger als du? No thoughts in regards to the question at hand? Are there issues which at one time caused you to toss aside the core doctrines ...

Re: DCP wants his politics clean, and his apologetics dirty
Common theme in the Book of Mormon with the Lamanites bitching about the Nephites. Regards, MG sockpuppet, this is a common theme in the Book of Mormon, isn’t it? If you go in and look, you can find chapter and verse. More than once, I think. I’m just stating a fact. Regards, MG Every book I have r...
