Mormon scholar Mike Reed explored this same approach ten years ago. He listed 47 examples of pre-Book of Mormon male Almas on his blog, "Cultural Mormon Cafeteria." Here is a link to his interesting comments posted January 23, 2010: https://culturalmormoncafeteria.blogspot.com/search?q=alma+name+ma...

Kish, while I get your point, neither Trump nor Jackson were picked by 'elite insiders.' I don't think either choice was an improvement. Yes, I thought that someone would raise these guys, but I am going to have to push back, albeit respectfully. Look, the "elite" refers to a class of people, not t...

Influence the outcome... that's not really it. It's more about making a prediction and being disappointed by its contrast with reality. That's what I want to avoid. I am going to act as though Trump is going to win until he doesn't, because quite frankly, I don't trust America to do the smart thing...

This is a devastating find, Everybody Wang Chung. I would put your discovery among the very most valuable refutations of Mopologetics for the year, if not the most valuable. And one has to wonder, for all the time this claim has been put forward, did no one think to check it? We have had FamilySearc...

Dean Robbers! Great post. So, the bad news is that there are some left-wing extremists who do embrace this kind of conspiracy thinking, and even some who specifically believe QAnon claims. In their minds, OF COURSE corporate Dems are evil and in league with Satan, are really lizard people, are eatin...

Cool stuff, Rick Grunder. I hope I am able to watch. W.W. Phelps is one of those key characters who contributed to the esoteric nature of Mormonism. Anything we can learn about him will help us understand Early Mormonism better.

Nothing would make me happier than Trump losing the election and being convicted for the many felonies he has undoubtedly committed. Now THAT is something to pray for.

Many congratulations, Sunstoned! All your hard word has really paid off. And yes, Dean Robbers is correct: if you attempt to post on "SeN," you will likely be banned. The only PhDs permitted on "SeN" are the Mopologists. Welcome to the new campus, Doctor! You have a new, much larger office with an ...

I am especially interested in the stuff about the angels on the magical parchments. There are symbols of five angels on the "Holiness to the Lord" parchment. I think one of these angels must be the first angel Joseph Smith saw. It was not "Moroni." Joseph Smith does not use the name Moroni until ab...

I feel a little better about posting here because I am not the first. I don't have a lot to say right now, but I did want to share with you guys something I picked up from Facebook. Nick Literski, an ex-Mo who is a knowledgeable historian, shared this video about Joseph Smith and Magick. I thought ...
