Re: Davis article in Dialogue Journal

Bill Davis is one of the most important Mormon Studies scholars of our time. He is definitely perceived as a threat by such people as Brian Hales, and he has already entered the sights of Interpreter . I feel fortunate to have found his article on John Bunyan and the Book of Mormon a while ago. He d...

Re: Is THIS the Morality 71% of Mormonism Believes In?

Should Church leaders have put their mouths where their morality is then? Their tradition is to speak out on legislation that bears on moral issues, not individual candidates. I don't think they would have viewed breaking this tradition as a good idea. Once they speak out about a particular candida...

Re: Is THIS the Morality 71% of Mormonism Believes In?

they believe they are carrying out the will of their Authorities. The Authorities are concerned about the sanctity of Ensign Peak Investments. Most church leaders almost certainly did not vote for Trump. The Deseret News published an editorial that was pretty strongly anti-Trump. Do you think a pro...

Re: Confessions of a CES Director

Congratulations to consiglieri for another riveting RFM episode! It is fascinating to see how someone who was much closer to the inside view of CES came to conclusions that I intuited but could never have experienced in the same way.

Re: Jesus in a Window

People walk past the Hyde Park Chapel in London and pay little mind to Mormon Christus as he beckons folks from the corner of a window. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/99/6e/2e996e15cb847cc4291c094c2879a4eb.jpg Seriously, the Christus gives the illusion of a staggering drunk man in a window. The ...

Re: Trump ended COVID19

Just yesterday on a friend’s Facebook wall, a Trump supporter stepped into an ongoing discussion to point out the “substantial” achievements of Trump. On that list were such things as “pro patriotism” and “pro freedom.” I got a good chuckle out of this fellow’s claim that jingoistic mantras represen...

Re: Top 10 Falsifiable FAIRMORMON Claims

The other funny thing is how DCP et al have historically introduced this proof by remarking about the howls of derision heard from the critics over this obvious gaffe. Alma a man's name? Preposterous! But diligent search has failed to turn up any examples of such howls of derision. That is why DCP ...

Re: Missing Grindael

Anyone? A core of volunteers? Gad said he was having intermittent access issues with the previous board. I think he suspected that it could somehow crash. That's why I moved the Paradise threads right away because I think we could lose them. I wouldn't know where to begin with the Mormon history th...
