Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

If it comes to a fight, Caleb Fryar is ready. But the 26-year-old son of Brett Fryar, the chiropractor, said he hoped Trump’s fraud allegations would instead spark a massive mobilization of Republican voters in future elections. Do they think it will be that much harder for Dominion to throw out a ...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Not even sure it was an orange, but I was thinking about penicillin. it is my understanding that prior to this, Skousen's writings proposed that the Book of Mormon language was Hebraic, not 19th century. Yes, I recall a youtube video where he was stuck arguing for both. Why was it a problem that the...

Dr. Peterson is a wonderful person and does not deserve the narcissist label. Even though I have become the target of his ire.
Why is he upset with you, Bought?

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Great information, Lem. Originally, Skousen had this "AM" model for predicting some kinds of language changes. Early Modern English was a logical part of that research, as you have to show the language rule working throughout different periods. Set that aside. Now over here, on the other side of the...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

Lem, I'm going to have to slow down your argument to understand it. She used the Helsinki Corpus of Early Modern English to support her conclusions, as well as the Webster 1820s dictionary. At the time, she mostly implied the archaic nature was simply an artifact of Smith's speech, and in some cases...

How is using prophetic authority to save lives by asking the Saints to wear masks any more danger to free agency than pleading with the Saints to pay a full tithing?

Re: The gospel of Q

From Res's article: Let’s think about this for a minute. How many great movies, books, and TV shows would have been forever ruined if the mysterious stranger just laid it all out for the protagonists in the first meeting. “Jim did it. It’s Jim. He’s laundering money for the mob. Perhaps this is wher...

Re: Carmack/Skousen: "Virtually none of the grammatical variants listed in section 4-archaic grammar are archaic."

the rest of what I wrote over there: I can think of one set of consistent facts to fit the scenario. Wiki says that in 2011 about 5% of the content was made available for free. There is also a trial version available, which I assume is also free for a certain period of time (don't know about content...

The gospel of Q

In an effort to better understand where subs and Ajax are coming from, I've done some light reading on the origins of Q. It all started on a Saturday, the twenty-eighth of October 2017 in the twilight hours of Daylight Savings, with news that the Mueller probe had their first indictment ready to go....
