Can the Church Stop Hemorrhaging Apologists?

[_Everybody Wang Chung]

I think it would be fair to say that this week has been terrible for LDS apologists. First, John Lund's arrest and pending criminal charges. Second, Will Schryver's behavior is exposed by MsJack and, subsequently was notified that he would not be published by FARMS.

This unethical, unprofessional and misogynistic attitude by these apologists must have the Church concerned. As I have previously stated, most apologists' behavior and actions are detrimental to the Church in many different ways.

What's next for these apologists?

If Will's work does indeed never see the light of day, I consider that a victory for our apologist friends.

Agreed. I think it needs to be published. But probably not for the same reasons that WS would want to see it published.

Clearly, as this week has highlighted, most apologists need some training and fast. Since the members of this board have the expertise, experience and education, my suggestion is for Cassius University to hold its First Educational Continuing Seminar for Apologists (FECES). This seminar would be free to LDS apologists. My proposed agenda would be:


9:00-10:00
"Why It's Probably Not a Good Idea to Degrade Women in a Public Forum" Presentation by Dr. Cam

10:00-12:00
"How to Not Win Friends and Not Influence People Online, A Brief Retrospective of DCP" Presentation by DarthJ

12:00-1:00 A light lunch of NeFries and Waters of Mormon will be served in the Cassius Center for International Studies

1:00-3:00
"Why Stealing is Probably a Bad Idea for Apologists and Other Nuggets of Wisdom" Presentation by Dr. Scratch

3:00-5:00
Q&A session and special rap muscial number "If I Could Hie to Kolob" by Dr. Kishkumen

I think if Cassius University and its faculty would commit to this seminar, you would see a vast improvement in many of these apologists' behavior. What say you?

Please tell me that "NeFries" are a real thing.

See? Fabulous sense of humor. Wonderful!

Well, considering the fact that no one has ever been able to show any major criticism against the Church to have any basis, I'd say the apologists are doing quite well. No one will ever be able to keep up with all the prodigious rumor, innuendo, and yellow journalism being produced by the critics, but that's just life.
