Re: John Gee claims in his new book intro that there's no need for his new book
Riess gives some thoughts and insights... According to the publisher, the book is currently under additional review. https://religionnews.com/2020/09/08/controversial-mormon-book-pulled-publication-byu-john-gee/ A second problem is that Gee seems to be reading mostly scholars who agree with him, whi...

Re: Rules of Patheos: Midgley appears to violate TOS 10x
What I discovered then is that out our message resonates with Blacks everywhere. But if we had made any real effort to take our message to Blacks early on, we would have become a Black Church, and then Europeans would have refused to join a Black Church. I have come to realize that the Lord has his...

Re: Grindael: RIP, A MormonDiscussions.com Treasure
This is very sad news for his family, friends and Mormon Discussions. My condolences to all who knew him. I too will make a point of raising a glass to 'grindael' today.

Re: Time to investigate "ghost writng"!

Smoot’s descendants tell untruths (unwittingly?) to try and keep his name on BYU building
There has been a petition raised to remove Smoot’s name from a BYU building. “Despite not being raised in a slaveholding home, and initially supporting [church founder] Joseph Smith’s abolitionist sentiments, upon moving to Utah he made the decision to become a slaveholder,” the petition reads. “… W...

Re: Kerry Muhlestein Does Video Response to Robert Ritner
Strangely, Dr. Muhlestein states that "the Book of Abraham is not based on Egyptology in any way." 11.20 Where does that statement leave Gee’s career-long apologetic work? William (Bill) Gay Research Chair,[16] which focuses on study directly related to the ancient world and LDS scripture, particul...

Sheri Dew takes credit for her mothers passing
It was an afternoon in June when my siblings and I received word that her condition had suddenly changed, and we hurried to her side. She’d been pretty spunky two nights before, when I’d last seen her, so it was shocking to find her completely unresponsive. We all surrounded Mother’s bed as my brot...

Re: A Blast from the Past: "SeN" Takes on EV Critics
One could make the case that BYU is inherently slamming other religions in a number of ways. Under their honour code for instance, which includes the following requirements: Men A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained.

Re: How the Helmeth Hübener Story was Suppressed
I think this highlights a fundamental issue with the 12th Article of Faith, which reads “ We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.” If your ruler is a Nazi Government who passes laws such as The Nuremberg Laws - “announc...
