Interpreter is now reprinting old content

[Marcus]

It's simple enough to show. There have been 48 Fridays so far in 2024, and under the Interpreter tab, "Journal Articles," there are 45 entries for 2024.

Three broken links is significant. Imagine if there were three breaks in his priesthood lineage going back to Adam?

You'll notice DCP has not addressed this issue in any of his multiple comments about our board. When he gets caught in (his frequent) prevarications, he invariably goes silent on the topic for a bit.

thanks for the response, huckleberry.

Yellowstone, that is an interesting purchase, that Time Magazine. Do you have any observations about the magazines treatment which would likely be rose colored treatment.

I think writing news during that time or anything in print for the general public was carefully scrutinized by the government . The reason I think that is reflecting on a book I read a few decades ago, The Longest Day by Cornelias Ryan about the D-Day invasion. It kept my interest from page 1: lots of stories how the people lived during those war years. There was one man, Leonard Dawe who along with his friend, Melville Jones, prepared a crossword puzzle for the Daily Telegraph.

It appears the Allied High Command had also been reading the paper and completing the puzzle and certain answers scared them. The answers also caused concern with those in Scotland Yard and Mi 5. They sat down with him and asked him why he chose questions where the answers were Overlord, Utah, Omaha, Neptune, Mulberry. "The two M.1.5 [Mi 5] men were extremely courteous: They agreed that it was difficult. But wasn't it strange that all these code words should appear in the same month."

It's seems the - loose lips, sink ships - type atmosphere was present during that time. Being dedicated to journalism and truth may be a lofty thought which brings action in peacetime but it could get you executed by both sides during war. I've read over and over that there was censoring during the war. Try expressing freedom at night by keeping your lamps lit and wait for a loud knock on the door.

The magazine looks very sanitized. It seems to focus on personalities and events rather than on the horror of the wars.

The Longest Day can be found on Kindle. The information about the visit from Mi 5 can be found in chapter 9 on the free sample download.

There are too many examples of this in Mormonism to count. The new “light and truth letter” that is becoming popular has an entire section on church finances, and doesn’t even tackle the SEC settlement. As church leaders themselves have said “those will be the questions we don’t answer.”

I checked the Interpreter website. I believe the journal has posted 59 pieces, including articles, book reviews, introductory essays, and a copy of an old sacrament meeting talk, so far this year. At least one piece each week. Nine pieces (3 book reviews) were posted in November alone. How many people beyond the editors are actually reading these things? I have no idea.

January 5, 12, 19, 26 (2 pieces): 5

February 2, 9 (2 pieces), 16, 23: 5

March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29: 5

April 5, 12, 19 (2 pieces), 26: 5

May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31: 5

June 7, 14, 21, 28: 4

July 5, 12, 19, 26 (2 pieces): 5

August 2 (2 pieces), 9, 16 (2 pieces), 23, 30: 7

September 6, 13, 20, 27 (2 pieces): 5

October 4, 11, 18, 25: 4

November 1 (2 pieces), 8 (2 pieces), 15 (2 pieces), 22 (2 pieces), 29: 9

Once secular archeologists start digging up steel swords and horse bones in Mexico, Interpreter will become more cited than Nature and Science.

Any day now.

I would be remiss if I failed to point out that the website’s listing of articles in volume 63 inexplicably omits the pieces posted on November 22 and 29. https://journal.interpreterfoundation.o ... l-papers-0

The note at the top of the linked page says, in part:

These are all of the papers that have been published in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship.

Not quite.

Thanks Tom. I heard a rumor that Amgid might get its very own Del Taco soon. Crossing my fingers.

so when DCP said "article" he didn't mean "article"?

[I Have Questions]

Peterson clarifies…

As of last week, in addition to its blog entries and reprints and books and movies and radio broadcasts and conferences and the like, Interpreter has published at least one journal article on each of the past 645 consecutive Fridays.

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeters ... hings.html

You need only go to the website of the journal and, once there, click on “All Journal Articles.” You will find there a list of all Interpreter volumes, including the year in which the volume was published. You will notice that three volumes are shown for 2024 — volumes 60, 61, and 62. If you count all of the articles in them, you will come up with a total not of 45 articles but of 48.

This board is the biggest source of inspiration for Sic et Non. It gets mentioned several times a week. If not almost daily. What would he be posting if not responses to this board?

Interpreter has published, and will have published, at least one journal article each and every Friday during the year 2024.

This seems to be a hill he’s prepared to die on. The idea that a consistent publishing schedule is the key success metrics will drive quantity, not quality. I’d be interested in knowing what the quality threshold is that “articles” need to meet to be published, and whether or not they are fungible during those weeks where journal fodder is in short supply.

I have a recommendation for you Dan. Because very few people are reading your regular weekly emissions, how about picking your top ten and putting out an Interpreter Christmas Special?

So I was right. "article" does not mean "article." When you click on his link that he titles

"all journal articles",

it goes to a page with the heading

"all papers."

The actual page entitled

"Journal Articles"

found at the below link still shows 45 articles, with the dates they were published, in 2024:

https://journal.interpreterfoundation.o ... e/?journal

You will also notice that the link I posted above still exists, but is no longer accessible in
the
interpreter journal page menu. It is still there, but Peterson has removed the link from the drop down menu, so you have to use my link or type it in. He replaced it with his "all journal articles" link, which is NOT the original "journal articles" link.

That's the usual smarmy lying by omission and misdirection that is typical of Tapir Dan, the Plagiarizer. I also predict he will completely remove or disable the hidden link once he realizes he has been caught.
