The Big Lie About Maxwell

We, it sounds like Dan's new online journal is a reestablishment of the old FARMS, then.

Seems to be the usual suspects...

From the Mission Statement

Our goal is to increase understanding of scripture through careful scholarly investigation and analysis of the insights provided by a wide range of ancillary disciplines, including language, history, archaeology, literature, culture, ethnohistory, art, geography, law, politics, philosophy, etc. Interpreter will also publish articles advocating the authenticity and historicity of LDS scripture and the Restoration, along with scholarly responses to critics of the LDS faith. We hope to illuminate, by study and faith, the eternal spiritual message of the scriptures—that Jesus is the Christ.

Although the Board fully supports the goals and teachings of the Church, The Interpreter Foundation is an independent entity and is neither owned, controlled by nor affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or with Brigham Young University.

Hamblin's charge that the current MI is conciously steering funds in order to support a rogue director's vision is heavy and not unnoticed. If I were Hamblin and believed Church funds were being misused then I have an obligation to bring this to the attention of Church leadership, unless Bill is exaggerating the issue in order to slander the current MI leadership. I for one, find Bill Hamblin every bit as accountable as those misusing funds if and only if Bill does not bring the misuse to the attention of Church leadership.

You raise an excellent point, lost. Mil Frimpton is indeed on the hook by covenant to make sure that the Lord's money is not wasted on one man's pet project. Why just the other day I was disturbed to find this structure towering above the Maxwell Institute east of BYU campus:



Could it be that the longed-for FARMS Ziggurat has been built at last, as a tribute to the tyranny and avaricious dreams of one man?

Speaking of land grabs, steering funds, and the construction of the FARMS ziggurat, I am reminded of this thread in which Professor Peterson explained where donations for the construction of the FARMS Book of Mormon Research Center ended up.

From the thread you linked

Also, do you deny having received thousands of dollars for your FARMS work?

Yes.

Let's call that a little white lie shall we Daniel?
