Re: Kwaku on Mormonism Live!
We had a pretty good discussion I think. Especially the part where I got him to admit the priesthood ban was a mistake. I wonder how he squares that with the Aug 17, 1949 First Presidency Statement that the mistake was a "direct commandment from the Lord"? I heard the part where that he thinks Jose...

Re: Does Jonathan Neville Pose a "potential threat to the peace and unity of the Saints"?
It never ceases to amaze me when people -- invariably critics of the Church -- say that FAIR or Interpreter (or BoMC or FARMS or take your pick) has done more to hurt the Church than anything. Were that the case, I would think that critics would cease their own efforts and back (even monetarily) an...

Re: Does Jonathan Neville Pose a "potential threat to the peace and unity of the Saints"?
I’ve learned approximately everything I know about him from the invaluable Neville-Neville Land blog, which follows his writing pretty closely and quotes him extensively. People say all the time that DCP is such a nice person in real life. I don't doubt it. But I ask that they cease to judge Nevill...

Re: Will DCP Keep His Promise To BYU?
Just look at his CV. Is there any one else at BYU that has published less than DCP? Look at how DCP has trashed BYU's administration, professors and the Maxwell Institute. Look at how much DCP has plagiarized, etc. I have not looked into this, to see how DCP's publishing record measures up against ...

Re: Witnesses walking away from the Church?
As a potential derailer -- To me, witnesses leaving the church hobbles the apologetic that the reason there isn’t compelling evidence is because it would interfere with free agency and faith. Yet, the people who purportedly handled the plates, and saw an angel, still had plenty of free agency and r...

Re: Murder among the Mormons
Is that a trick question?
It is the same "sock puppet" of 2010-2017 from mormondiscussions.com.

Re: Murder among the Mormons
I just listened again to Oaks giving that oh-so-authoritative speech in which he promotes an alternative (and possibly the primary intended) definition of "salamander": "a being capable of living in fire ," just like Angel Moroni. And this was a forgery - completely made up fiction. But it was take...
