http://chronicle.com/article/Retired-US ... Is/127575/So did former BYU Professor, John L Lund, ever go back to Israel and face charges that he was illegally trafficking in stolen artifacts as he was charged with? Anyone know what happened with this guy and the charges filed against him? Or did he just forfeit bail thinking it was the most efficient way out of facing charges?

Doesn't look like he's headed to Israel any time soon.

Wow, while following that link, it looks like John Lund is using Joseph Smith to pimp his tours. He all but guarantees that tour attendees will see Book of Mormon ruins, based on Joseph's writings in the Times and Seasons.

Was Times and Season an Official Church Publication?

Up next is the
China Yangtze #1 Tour On Earth! Wish he could smuggle in some drink mix from the Tang Ju Tse Dynasty.

He better be careful. You piss'em off in China, there's no bail about it, they just shoot you in the back of the head and strip out your organs for spare parts.

With Joseph Smith as its editor, what do you think?
Remember, BCSpace wasn't born until probably a good 120-140 years later.

He makes a pretty good case against Meldrum. But it is also a good case against an LGT, particularly a Mesoamerican one with his "both sides of the Rio Grande".

I always defer to bcspace on these matters, when I can get him to answer.
