I wouldn't be surprised to find that at some point in the recent past, before he lost his faith in a certain style of apologetics, that Mr. Huntsman was a Liahona level supporter of NAMIRS.

Wasn't getting his money's worth was he?
Perhaps the donor said, 'I'll give you $10m a year for three years if you make Church beliefs look reasonable.' NAMIRS takes the money, fails to deliver the goods.

Well, the Good Doctor had received some information that suggested something about a possible big donor to NAMIRS. Dr. Peterson denied it, and the figures were eye-poppingly large. Maybe there were unacceptable strings attached.

Cool!! Now I can consider him as a viable candidate.
You wouldn't vote for a Mormon Hoops?
BTW- I've missed you. When are you going to stop trying to positively impacting young women's lives via competitive sports and get down to some serious posting?
I was teasing. Yes, I would vote for a Mormon. I probably unknowingly have at some point. I would even vote for an atheist. I can see how one can be an atheist much more easily than a Mormon.

I haven't started yet positively impacting young women's lives through competitive sports. I'm all about playing to win, and knocking someone's head off if they drive the lane. I'm not particularly well-liked.
I, too, was struck by the massive sea change in Schryver's demeanor on this thread. It speaks volumes about the "unwritten order of things."

Lol. Just read the additions to the thread. It couldn't get any better. I can't wait to show this to the other handlers!
