we've been through this before; I have met this challenge twice before and there was no comment from you or Guy.

So you're basing your statement on a non-comment of Guy (and, apparently, me)? I don't even know the thread to which you are referring. Care to enlighten?

marg or Dan,
Would one of you start a new thread with Criddle's name in the subject line in the Terrestrial Forum? Might I suggest that whomever starts the thread, that you ask posters (like with the interview threads) to stay off the thread until Dan and Craig open it to the masses? Just a suggestion.
Open the thread, let it sit there and be patient.

For now Jersey Girl I'd like to find out off the message board who is interested and then get the okay from Dan. I've asked Shades to involve himself. So we won't start any messages just yet. Thanks.

That's correct. Give me a little while to work out the kinks, make the preparations, and e-mail the right people.
Just a little longer 'till the great unveiling.

And, how is Joseph Smith to know the concept of justice and mercy, and explain it better, than Milton?

I guess that's your opinion. How did you determine it was better? Being raised in the Burned Over District, and having a father who was a Universalist and a mother who was a Calvinist, probably had a lot to do with the Book of Mormon's discussion of those topics. The Book of Mormon is eloquent in places, but nothing like Milton. I don't see how the two can even be compared. I think comparison to contemporary sermons would be more appropriate.
