Greetings,

Long-time lurker here, and yet the bizarre innuendos I’ve recently witnessed on a several threads has peaked my curiosity and I would love to receive some straightforward answers.

Am I to understand that Mormon apologist William Schryver is the illegitimate child of Mormon apologist Hugh Nibley? I’m trying to understand the information shared in a couple of threads regarding a BYU meeting that involved Schryver, DNA expert Ugo Perego, and one of Hugh Nibley’s sons.

Several people have told me that after his Book of Abraham presentation Schyver claimed publicly to have received communications from the deceased Nibley. Now in these threads, I’ve read the following statement from Schryver regarding his BYU meeting:

“As the editor of The Journal of the Book of Mormon and Other Restoration Scripture, [Hoskisson] even agreed to publish a paper I’ve written—as long as I don’t reveal the fact that Darth Nibley … er … Hugh Vader … ah, nevermind.”

Am I to understand that Schyver was suggesting that Nibley is to Schryver what Anakin Skywalker was to Luke in the Star Wars movies?

He then adds this comment:

Well, I must confess that I am not a descendant of Joseph Smith, but not even I knew my real identity until fairly recently, WW. It turns out that I was adopted when I was just a baby."

And finally,

“Who knew dear old mom had a thing for scholars dressed up like Anubis?”

I’ve read some strange things from Mormon apologists in the past, but this one takes the cake.

Is it true that Nibley is Schryver’s biological father?

Mmm.....this topic is going to get quite interesting whatever may develop or whether or not there is actually anything to Scratch's "Intel".

Any mention of these threads on the other board or DCP's blog yet ? If there remains silence in those quarters on this latest from Scratch that would be piquing my interest in itself.

You guys don't see a trap here? Shut up about Will unless you want a lawsuit.

Link?

Would explain his attitude towards women as well as open up previous accusations against Nibley by his daughter.

But im inclined to treat this as a bad joke for now.

Given that it is an odd topic started by two people who just registered today (within one minute of each other), I think it's the work of trolls.

Well, I happen to know it isn't. I heard this from someone who has a record of getting it right but im not going to reveal her identity unless she chooses to. Not saying she is right about any of this. Just saying these arent trolls.

Not necessary. I would have thought the same.
