I just don't understand the level of hostility and ugliness that Boylan displays in the linked thread. I mean, WOW!!! Yikes!!!
Don't make things so personal.

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
Okay, now we're getting somewhere. If he claims inspiration from God, can we classify his claim as "true" or "false" based on whether he is really, truly receiving inspiration from God vs. whether he's lying about it or simply delusional? Yeah, that is where it gets messy. Charismatic leaders of th...

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?
At the end of the day, both sides think that the truth matters. If Mormonism is a sham, it should be criticised. It's the objectively right thing to do. And if Mormonism is true, it should be preached from the mountain tops. The middle ground is a weird moral relativism, and almost nihilistic view ...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
I am stepping up to observe a basic point. Shades is thinking of the way prophet is used in the LDS church. There is only one and being that one is yes or no. Step outside of the LDS church and that understanding of prophet does not exist. There are a variety of definitions. I cannot think of any c...

Re: Eclipse
We went out to the backyard, set out our event chairs, and put on our eclipse glasses. We watched it at various points, including its peak of coverage in our area, which reached 65%. As always it was magnificent. Originally we had planned to travel to a location where we could see the totality, but ...

Re: Boylan's Blog Removed
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 ...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
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.

Re: Elder Holland may not be Secondly Anointed?
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...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
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 ...
