Navigating through crises of faith fireside tonight (Sun. 7/17) with Dr. Peterson

Post by Tom »

A friend of mine from Cardston has informed me that Dr. Peterson is speaking tonight (Sunday, July 17) in Cardston on the topic of navigating crises of faith.

Time: 7 pm MDT
Link: https://zoom.us/j/92940294365?fbclid=Iw ... 28#success

Refreshments will follow:

Open poutine bar (all-you-can-eat with a huge variety of fries, cheeses, sauces, and condiments)
Doughnut bar (catered by Jelly Modern; I recommend the Madagascar bourbon vanilla ones)

I call "Fake News" on your report, Tom.

Any respectable and self-respecting organization in Canada would have Tim Hortons supply the doughnuts.

Oh, wait, ... :D

Yea, Jelly Modern is the “only true and living” “original gourmet doughnut bakery café” upon the face of the whole province, with which Albertans are well pleased, speaking about Albertans collectively and not individually.

How about Dan’s crisis of integrity? Would love to reach out to those attending this fireside, so that the question can be asked to Daniel: “why did you agree not to trash talk the Mormon Discussions board and its people, and moderate similar bad talk by your guests, in exchange for a big donation to Interpreter, and then wholly go back on your word? Why did you choose to let your integrity slide instrad of just being nice as you promised?”

Wow--quite crazy. Having Dr. Peterson deliver a talk on this topic is like asking Stalin to give a talk on how to be a good Communist. I wonder if he'll talk about how he was secretly recruited by the Strengthening Church Members Committee to interrogate some poor sap for *four hours*?

We tried tellin’ ya, man.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Has the Professor had a personal crisis of faith since he first read and prayed about Added Upon as a young teenager?

My own crisis of faith was resolved after I read four particular books:

Richard Lloyd Anderson, Investigating the Book of Mormon Witnesses (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1981). Next to the scriptures, this is the most faith-demoting book I’ve ever read.

John W. Welch, ed., Opening the Heavens: Accounts of Divine Manifestations, 1820–1844 (Provo, UT: Brigham Young University Press, 2005).

Mark McConkie, ed., Remembering Joseph: Personal Recollections of Those Who Knew the Prophet Joseph Smith (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2003).

Grant Hardy, Understanding the Book of Mormon: A Reader’s Guide (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010).

Did it stay resolved, Tom? I know I am not entitled to that information, but I am curious.
