Re: FAIR Board Member and Mopologist, Juliann Reynolds Is Openly Criticizing The Church's Treatment Of LGTBQ Members

That's actually not surprising at all. What was surprising was that back in the Z days, she was oblivious to the fact that FARMS was a bunch of reactionary, right-wing nutjobs that had nothing to do with the liberal values that she mistakenly thought made the backbone of the Church. Man, she was so...

FAIR Partners with the Valiant Conference: Has a New Mopologetic Organization Emerged?

I was passed an interesting tidbit earlier by an "informant." It turns out that FAIR Mormon has teamed up with another organization for this year's annual FAIR Conference: Our partners, the Valiant Conference, join us in nurturing confident expressions of faith both online and offline. FAIR's tradit...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?

Ah, well then. I guess that’s what I get for trying to see him in a positive light? I go out on a limb and assume he’s being authentic and actually posting something original in honor of Easter—but no! Yet another rehash.

Re: Bandwagon effects & Mormonism's online comeuppance

Great post, Dr. Moore. The tidbit about The More Good Foundation was especially interesting: I have always viewed it as a fundamentally Mopologetic organization—basically, a secretive funding arm that would help finance and enable things like FAIR, or Allen Wyatt’s infamous cyber-squatting. More rec...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?

I noticed that Dr. Peterson posted an update on 3/30 , containing what appears to be original content. So I guess the new material is suitable for the blog, but not worthy of "Mormon Interpreter" (which, come to think of it, is also a blog...)? In any case, the message this time around is all about ...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?

You are so very right, Dean Robbers. How much do the Mopologists and Interpreter really care about Easter and the Resurrection? The way DCP has described this on his blog, it’s essentially like, “Oh, yeah: Easter. Let’s get someone to do an article.” But this year has proven how little thought they ...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?

"By Jan. 1, 2014 Interpreter will be dead just like Mormon Scholars Testify. Either totally dead or down to token 'blog' style postings and re-postings of old/reworked articles (already happening)." -- Bond Bond was truly prophetic. Amen. I should point out that the essay does not include a link to...

Re: Lds church is wrongly attacked for giving too little to charity....

There is a lot that's funny about DCP's post. He either doesn't quite know what he's talking about, or he's deliberately muddying the waters. The LDS Church is not a "charity." Charities *do* fall under the 501(c)(3) rules of the IRS, but so do "Churches and Religious Organizations." In fact, "Polit...

Re: Interpreter 2.0?

Thanks very much for calling this to our attention, Tom. I'm not quite sure what to make of this development. I hear that Book of Mormon Central has a payroll of some $2 million. Perhaps the Proprietor can phone them up and talk to them about the possibility of hiring a graphic designer? The imagery...

Re: I Can't Eye-Roll Hard Enough Over DCP's Latest

Does Dr. Peterson think that it was okay to put tattoos on Jews during the Holocaust? You know: since they were a “threat” to the 3rd Reich? Or, consider this: who was a bigger “threat”: the Jews to the Nazis, or gay men to heterosexual dudes like DCP or Buckley during the 1980s? Bear in mind that t...
