Hell, I wouldn't like me either if I were him. But to expect everyone around him to dislike me too is just too revealing to ignore. These guys are control freaks and think they have their little cult followers under their spell.

Well, one of the nice things about Kerry is that he certainly has a mind of his own, in any case.

Here is how our conversation ends tonight on Kerry's Facebook post:

Bill Hamblin: Bradford has actually done this before. He fired an editor by email when she was in England caring for her ailing mother. And Kevin, you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any of this, so butt out. You are living in a delusional fantasy world of your own construction.

Kevin Graham: I have my connections, Bill. This decision wasn't Bradford's alone. You can't even admit that you don't know for a fact that Bradford "waited" for Dan to go out of town. That is what you want to be true because it provides you with a convenient piece of ammunition to poison the well, which is precisely the kind of traditional FARMS tactic the Church no longer wants to associate with. I can't say that I blame them.

And by the way, the "apostates" aren't shouting with glee over this issue. In my conversations with people like Trevor and Scratch, the overall sentiment seems to be "wow" with a desire to make sense of it all. The only thing we're really pleased with is the fact that we feel vindicated because we've been telling you two for YEARS that FARMS primarily engages in low-level polemics and relies on ad hominem. You and Dan both denied that FARMS did this even when examples were provided. But beyond that immediate sense of gratification, the rest of us "apostates" are rather melancholy about this whole affair. The only scary rioting we see is taking place over at MAD where you and Dan have encouraged the idiots to go ahead and overrun the asylum and form an apologetic Tea Party. If you can't have FARMS the way you want it, then anarchy it shall be!

Is Kerry a Democrat?

Does he consider himself a liberal?

Poor, poor, Billy Hamblin. That sorry SOB needs to be fired on the spot. He is like skunk squirting noxious odors all over the Internet.

The General Authorities will axe him within days.

Then we can all laugh and make fun of him!

:lol:

Better yet, ask him how he feels about mighty Anubis being called a slave by Egyptologist Joe Smith. I think you'll find that Kerry is quite disturbed about that.

Misinterpreted? In what way? They seemed pretty black-and-white to me.

. . . and that he doesn't want to attack or blame Bradford for any of this.

He doesn't? Well, he sure has a funny way of expressing it.

Yes, Hamblin has been pretty upset and saying dramatic things that he does not see as rhetorically charged.

The SOB is supposed to be an example of a Christian over there in Israel. He doesn't come accross as the kind of Christian that I read about in the Bible. He's an attack dog foaming at the mouth. The church needs to put him down quickly before he does any more damage to the reputation of Mormonism. He needs to be replaced with someone who is kind and thoughtful, someone who is forgiving and full of genuine Christian love. Hamblin is none of that.

That is...just an awesome response.

The hypocritical mirror some of the MADites need to look into breaks before they can even put their faces in front of it.
