Re: DarthJ is a prophet

Meetings have always been boring. I left activity long before correlation because meetings were already so boring. Though, I agree correlation has made it so much worse.

Re: Dan still on about the Book f Abraham (BYU St Vol)

I couldn't help but notice the very first comment by "The Last Danite:" I do notice how the grand chorus of criticism towards the Book of Abraham almost never deal with the actual text itself. The text feels ancient and is among the most theologically rich on Earth. This is laughably false. Lets se...

Re: The Church has commissioned a spin piece biography of Joseph Smith

It should be:

Joseph, the Prophet?

Re: Does Mormon God travel in a space ship?

Religion in general seems to depend on a belief in the existence of a being or beings who are not subject to the laws of physics as we know them. It is just easier to see them in Mormonism than more mainstream sects who have had a lot longer to develop their theology.

Re: L. Tom Perry's Briefcase Revisited

Trump uses words like 'evidence' the same way Smith used words like 'translate'.

Re: "Not translations in the usual sense" Book of Abraham Defence.

Link? https://www.amazon.com/Pressing-Forward-Book-Abraham-Interpreter-ebook/dp/B07C85SLMC The date says 2018 but for some reason he was presenting it at the 2023 fair conference. Thanks Drumdude but your Amazon link is for an Interpreter review that Smoot did of Gee's horrible 2017 Book of Abraham...

Steven “Bukake” Smoot has a new book out which explains everything. I wonder if anyone has picked it up yet.

Interesting! When was he in the MTC?

I have a hypothesis that because of MTC culture, they are reluctant to make very many changes or updates to how they teach languages. I'd love to be proven wrong on that, though.
It has been 20 years since he was in the MTC.

Re: How Good is the MTC at Teaching Foreign Languages?

I have a son who served a Spanish mission and now works as a linguist in the military. He learned a third language in the military. He taught languages at both the MTC and in the military. for what it's worth he thinks the military training is much better than how the Church taught him.
