2025 in Mopologetics

[Kishkumen]

Let's see some predictions for the coming year of Mopologetics, funny or serious!

What will happen to Interpreter? Will its next cinematic achievement take shape in the coming year?

What about Scripture Central? What direction is Jack Welch taking this new Mopologetic powerhouse in 2025?

Ward Radio? Is Kwaku still LDS? Will he stay LDS?

Anything new from FAIR?

Will any major Mopologists leave the LDS Church?

Will Boylan find the financial backing he's been hankering for?

Boylan will still be stuck at home living in his parents' converted attic.

Ward Radio will close to half the subscriber numbers of Mormon Stories. They're catapulting to success with their winning Howard Stern style Mormon show.

Interpreter will release their next film "Not by bread alone" straight to video, no more theatrical releases.

I want to see some Everybody Wang Chun graphic predictions.

Boylan is enough of an irritant that I can see some LDS booster backing him.

A little off topic, but I was a bit taken aback at The Afore’s anachronistic discussion of a “war on Christmas.” It seems he wants to go back to the glory days of 2008 when half of America proudly displayed a “keep Christ in Christmas” bumper sticker.

Kwaku El. He might be my favorite LDS semi-celeb. He has demonstrated that he is taking a path unlike that for which the hierarchy grooms young men into its ranks. Kwaku marches to the beat of a different drum. My prediction, he will continue to use the LDS organization to catapult his way to other heights that don't involve the church. When? Hmmm. If only I could guess.

The Interpreter Foundation will launch a redesigned website featuring an entirely new logo. (The current one hasn’t done well in focus groups made up of Relief Society sisters from Parowan.)

The Interpreter Foundation will hold a major scholarly conference on the Ghost Committee responsible for translating the Book of Mormon into Early Modern English.

The Interpreter Foundation will lead an exciting, memorable, and vindictive study tour to Illinois this summer. The itinerary includes a stay in Warsaw, where you will be able to tramp through the wreckage of the town where Tom Sharp and his henchmen hatched their devious plot against the Mormons and spend the night in the restored tavern where Sharp and his cronies met. (Note: Participants are expected to comply with the Word of Wisdom while staying in the tavern and throughout the tour; imbibers will be summarily excommunicated from the tour.) You will visit Sharp’s one-time home and have the opportunity to shake off the dust of your feet as a witness against Mr. Sharp. You will make a pilgrimage to Carthage Jail. And you will visit Governor Thomas Ford’s gravesite in Peoria and have the opportunity to ritually curse the dishonorable man and 14 generations of his posterity.

BYU’s ScholarsArchive will include all past issues of Interpreter. By year’s end, however, BYU will make the controversial decision to remove all Interpreter issues from the digital archive to make room for back issues of the Electronic Journal of Jaredite Studies and Bob Bobberson’s complete set of short stories.

In mid-January, FAIR will release a fact sheet titled “American Primeval: Things That Are True but Are Not Very Useful vs. Fiction.”

Scripture Central will poach several members of the Interpreter Foundation’s board of directors, setting off a feud between the two organizations.
