It appears that Boylan's blog scripturalmormonism has been removed from blogspot. The rumor among some of his critics is that he doxxed an ex-mormon and listed the names of his kids in the post. The ex-mormon and his friends then mass reported Boylan's blog. I can't confirm that, but I've heard it ...

In that case, how do YOU, Kishkumen, define “prophet?”

A charismatic religious leader in the Judea-Christian tradition who claims inspiration from God, speaks authoritatively in accordance with that inspiration, and takes on a role of moral correction. Something like that.

I always appreciate you playing the middle, I hope my posts haven’t implied otherwise. When you get criticism from DCP and us it’s a good sign you’re right where you need to be.

Thanks, drumdude. It makes things that much more interesting, hopefully.

If you're going to stand before millions of people and the whole world and say you're a prophet, seer, and revelator, or let it ride as others ordain you as such, then let the criticism fly. Nobody who claims to be God's mouthpiece on earth deserves protection from criticism. Criticism should be pl...

Only in a sentimental sense, at best. That’s a very simplistic answer for a complicated set of questions. But it is your answer, and I can only say that your view and experience hardly define the full range of reasonable possibilities. Okay. Please share with us how a person being a prophet or not ...

What specific set of circumstances has led you to form the opinion that Brigham Young was “relatively decent”? You act like “relatively decent” is some kind of high praise. This is because nothing but fierce criticism of Brigham Young will do on the board. The set of circumstances is leader of a fu...

In a way, but ultimately, no. Not even close. All real historians know Lincoln and his innate built in sense of honesty. When he had a general store, he also did some type of postal work. Ultimately it had to close. A few years went by and one day an official showed up requesting the postal funds h...

Take it up with drumdude, he was the one asserting Holland doesn’t pay tithing.

You can bow out whenever you like!

Not to mention, the Q15 hardly need anyone to point out their virtues. They have an entire billion dollar media empire which tells the world 24/7. One small forum on the internet offering a counter point hardly seems over the top or unwarranted. One small person on that forum pushing back against a...

Your words, not mine. Every one has good and evil inside them, and everyone has done good and bad. I believe DD’s point on Pg. #2 was that Holland was getting a nice perk while demanding the flock pay up, all the while knowing he’s benefiting from a double standard. You just prefer to make things o...
