Re: “King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head”

Well, you guys, both mental and physical health issues have me focused even more intensely on them, so I really need to force myself to break away for a month or so. I need to avoid going back to the hospital. Of course, if I were to die I would more powerful as an apologist than you can possibly im...

Re: Bad Rap for Mormonism

Seems like a bad rap for Mormonism to call it a "Victory for Satan". Mormonism has faults, but don't you think the victory for satan is laying it on too thick? No wonder President Nelson is trying to camouflage the name if that is how little he regards it. Do you think the Church should hold a cont...

Re: “King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head”

What is the situation with the two boards, are these pretty much the two main boards? Is there a lot of overlap between posters? There used to be a lot of overlap when this board first started, then many posters were banned en masse for posting over here. Do you mesn the other board bans people for...

Re: “King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head”

Hey that’s actually my post! I didn’t mention it over here on this board because I didn’t want to start getting into Facsimile 3 stuff just yet here, as I know it’s Paul’s signature issue! But I wanted to test it out on that other board. That board has quite a different flavor. What is the situation...

Re: For Ryan Larsen on Tim Barker's FAIR 2020 BofAbr Presentation

If one of the General Conference speakers could emulate Kerry's dramatic style of presentation they could wake up everyone snoozing both at home and in the Conference Center. If they also adopted Kerry's truthfulness, members would be talking about "this hit of the conference" the next week in chur...

Re: The Quincy Account

Haha well blogger is problematic in a number of ways. I’m reluctant to change things because of unintended consequences I’ve had to deal with in da past. But I guess you could copy a whole post and past it into word or somethin?

Re: The Quincy Account

Your computer or phone must have some “night settings” you could turn on, which could maybe soften the colors. The font is too light and thin. It needs to be darkened. It vibrates and hurts my eyes. Could you perhaps take a partial screenshot, so I can see if it looks different on your device than ...

Re: The Quincy Account

That means a lot, really. Thank you. There are soooo many different data points when it comes to the Book of Abraham, as you know. And I don’t claim to have all the answers. But one thing we agree on, I think, is that the convergence of different points is what matters. I do believe the papyrus con...

I look forward to it! I don't want to speak any ill of him, as I think he's a great person, but I'm sure you have a lot to offer analysis-wise and I will find it no doubt very interesting! Oh yes, I have no ill to him personally at all, and in fact find him to be a very credible scholar... in some ...
