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

Yes, I have not even dared try to post there because I know I would be banned almost pronto, and that is before typing anything. They have lightened up quite a bit on the board monitoring and banning. The activity on the board has also dropped way off. No surprise. I am so busy with so many project...

Wow, I got one. Should I take the survey? And do I dare be honest?

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

I have noticed a significant change in the perceptions and opinions of many of the stalwart members of that board over the last few years. There is now open criticism of church decisions. Criticisms that would have got someone banned five years ago. Yes, I have not even dared try to post there beca...

Re: FAIR Author And Unhinged Mopologist Blames The U.S. For The Recent ISIS Attack

I quit reading this lunatic some time ago. It was entertaining for a while, but Will and his b buddy "Serge" were finally able to disgust me to the point I could no longer watch. At one point, Will was bragging about picking up his grandkids from some function because, you know, he's such a big fam...

Re: BYU Now Offers A Class On Taylor Swift

I guess this is progress? It seems like this class is more useful than classes on the Book of Mormon or the Book of Abraham? At least Taylor Swift actually exists. https://universe.byu.edu/2024/01/09/ryan-davis-the-philosophy-of-taylor-swift%EF%BF%BC/ Wellllll, thaaaaaaaaaat's exciting......... :ro...

Christ’s resurrection is small potatoes compared to completing the feature film that celebrates the bigamist racist Brigham Young.
They love to talk of Christ, Lo! He is here! But they don't like to actually live how he taught them to.... THAT is a bridge too far.

Re: Prophets can't explain the Book of Mormon, they ask the experts to, scholars!

Markk What bugged me more was Brant's almost caviler assertion that they are the experts. They are experts at attempts to make the prophets sound accurate, which is virtually impossible. They have to change the meanings of words to do so, and it obviously flops. Their recontexting a miscontexted qu...

Re: Prophets can't explain the Book of Mormon, they ask the experts to, scholars!

He says the prophets are "declarers" not "explainers." But that is a modern change in order to add plausible deniability. They were "explainers" plenty of times before the last decade or so. They just realize now that their explanations are easily criticized with the Internet and not just taken at ...
