It would give Will a chance to bathe in the glory of the masses, with book tours, tv spots, a movie deal and documentaries on the History Channel and Discovery. He could turn his misogyny into an artistic quirk. There would be a clamour for the 'factual' books on the subject that gave him the inspiration to create his best seller. What could be better for his 'colleagues'?
Imagine the fireside tour he could do. Ward and stake houses all across North America would be buzzing with tales of Will's findings.

When asked about the promised portion, Will responded:
Go away Chrissy.
We've already picked teams for this game, and no one wanted you. So go back to your home board and do whatever it is you do there.
Will feminized Chris's name with the intent of insulting him. No surprise there....

Yeah, but I am sure he was immediately threatened with suspension by the Moderators for posting a mere contentless insult.
Wasn't he?
(On feminising names of male posters: I couldn't care less if someone does it to me, but the really sad and revealing thing about Schryver is that he thinks it is an insult to treat someone like a woman. In the case of women, since they can sink no lower in his eyes, he leaves their gender as it is and just insults them anyway. What a sad guy.)
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
Anyway, I'll leave this thread to you now and see if I can't finish extracting the portion of my book chapter (William Wines Phelps - Linguist and Translator) that I am willing to, at this point in time, publicize via message board. Hopefully, I'll start that new thread before the end of the day today
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

In fact, I have secret informant who just managed to smuggle out some video:
GSTP Cannibal Ritual
Thank goodness it's too dark to see detail!
At any rate, they are, as is their wont, consumed in an orgy of mockery, ridicule, and blood-thristy anticipation on account of my having mentioned that I planned to post a partial extract from my forthcoming book on the Kirtland Egyptian Alphabet, Grammar, and Counting manuscripts. Therefore, I have decided that I will deprive them of their desires—at least for the time being.
I may very well share it with Wade, and perhaps a few others. But the reaction of the hyenas at the GSTP has made me better appreciate "George Miller's" posture about pre-releasing his stuff via message board. I think Miller's approach might be a good example for me to follow when it comes to my research as well.
That's it will - grab any excuse to delay the release of your vaporware. :D

How sad and telling that MDB is once again responsible for Schryver not being able to publish even a small part of his opus. It's a pity that he cannot share his scholarly works because of the evil people here. ;).
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

This is another day that will live in infamy.
And we have wakened a sleeping giant. No, we have sleepened a waking ... forget it.

LOL!
We, here at MDB, have some soul searching to do. It's apparent that our cynicism has deprived the world of knowing the true honesty of Joseph Smith.

Dang it! I wanted to see it... well, actually, I wanted to see Kevin tear it apart, but still!

Well, as long as Wade believes it, that's what really counts. Any pretext will do. If it wasn't us, it would be the poor family pooch.
