This is a model of how Kwaku will leave the Church. The institution will fall under his suspicion and he'll become paranoid that certain elements of the establishment have it out for him based on some loose thematic associations between different events/situations that happened to him. Eventually, w...

Kishkumen,

Do you sound at all like Alan Rickman playing Severus Snape?

As someone who has spent countless hours on the phone with the good Reverend, I can confirm he doesn't sound like Alan Rickman in any capacity. Jovial, full of gnosis and virility, sure, but a languid Englishman he is not.

You are approaching this incorrectly, in my opinion. It won't be very fascinating to build a podcast on this board because it is fairly small and unimportant. Except for the 20 or so regulars who post here, no one will care about what's being discussed here, you need to think bigger. Start a podcas...

I think it is a fantastic idea and fully support such an effort.

The other day I took the time to read Daniel Peterson’s ‘ Should I Be My Brother’s Keeper? Yes and No ’ and I noticed something that both annoyed and perplexed me. This is one of Daniel’s little editorial homilies where he tries to stretch his moral legs and play the role of a thoughtful sage reflec...

Mine is Judges 19. It starts off with a Levite living in the hills of Ephraim who takes a second wife (i.e. concubine) from the town of Bethlehem. For some reason, this second wife becomes unhappy with her husband and skips town, returning to her father’s home where she stays for four months. Eventu...

My work on this transmission completely overthrows the traditional view of textual critics that a text becomes easier and longer when it is copied. To the contrary, the original manuscript text, when copied, became more difficult and shorter. This finding has huge implications for the theory of tex...
