Thank you Kishkumen. Glad to be here. I have had my nose bloodied here many a time. I watch this board as a source of entertainment as if it were a looney toones cartoon show, where I consider each of you a character of sorts. I know who many of you are, and have watched you for a very long time, a...

Anyway, putting Taves in the trailer saying that she thinks there weren't any ancient plates and therefore really saying that whatever was inside the cloth was a mere prop, was a great step in the right direction toward a little objectivity. I'm sure the 10 plus other "experts" will drown her out a...

Bob, Thank you so much for posting. I am glad that you have decided to declare your presence here and make a strong statement. I tend to agree with you that it is better to be more dignified. At the same time, I think there is a place for having some fun and finding humor in things. That goes both w...

A documentary that gives a serious summary of the parallels you just noted would be amazing. Daniel Peterson is on record of saying that his movie "candidly examines all substantial arguments, pro and con." Do you think there is any chance that you'll walk away from the movie agreeing that's what i...

Wonderful work as usual, Tom. Clearly there have been hiccups along the way. It is regrettable that we are enduring one of the worst, if not the worst, health crisis in half a century or more. No doubt this has not worked in favor of the success of Witnesses. Still, I am hopeful. I would like to see...

In the trailer Susan Easton Black "Critics today have started saying that the witnesses saw the plates with, quote "spiritual eyes"..." Really Susan? Why would critics just suddenly start saying that? Perhaps she should be more concerned that Interpreter and FAIR are working on the case for a ghost...

So, I have to apologize for dropping the ball here, but I finally got around to watching the trailer for the much-anticipated Witnesses movie. It is really thanks to our good Doctor Scratch, who included the trailer in his wonderfully informative and guffaw-inducing yearly Top Ten of Mopologetics th...

Excellent observation amigo. I am SOOOOOOOO enjoying your thread here.... Thank you, Philo. I wish you and yours a very happy holiday season. I wish I were able to drop by and visit you to see how you celebrate. Someday I would love to commission you to do a carving on a wood chest for me. It has b...

An excellent tribute, Kishkumen. I studied Comp. Lit and had Professor Sondrup for a couple classes. He was incredibly intelligent and exuded a calm thoughtfulness. Thank you for sharing that, nemo. I agree. That calm thoughtfulness is something that I do not succeed in emulating well, but it is so...

Your post prompted me to get in touch with my PhD professor, Brain Deverall. Sadly, I learned he had passed away a few years ago. My research career had shifted away from the field of research I did my PhD in, so I had lost touch with the community and missed the memo. His obituary in the Sydney Mo...
