Dr. Peterson has already announced that he will be a regular columnist at Meridian Magazine (the place where Uranus testifies).
Wasn't this meant to fill that void that was created when he was fired by the Deseret News?

In any case, I expect that he's now going to sharply curtail his commenting and posting, and that his next post will be chock-full of all the details about how busy he's been, soaking up the fascinating history, landscapes and culture of Maui.

I’ve heard that Meridian Magazine is very tired of people making fun of the article “Uranus Testifies of Christ” and it being the “butt” of many jokes throughout the years. One solution the editors had was to officially change the title to “Urectum Testifies of Christ.”

I can’t say the change would be any better.

My wife and I periodically dissolve into hysterical laughter when the memory of that title surfaces.

And poor Pratt. He's stuck with for the rest of his life and memories of him...

I am not feeling very sorry for him. He can just chuckle at all of us and our juvenile senses of humor. I am sure his life is very rich and he thoroughly enjoys pursuing his interests.

He sure is enjoying pursuing his interests. John Pratt is now an official witness to Prophet Berger and the Sealed Plates.

In addition, he has been a frequent speaker at Denver Snuffer’s conferences.

WOW! I had no idea he had gone that route! What caused this? How long has he not been LDS?! Good heavens when I bury my head in the sand, I really go all in don't I?!

Yeah, I believe that stuff about his witness of new plates was posted a while ago. Fascinating stuff! Had no idea about the Snuffer part.

If I remember right, John holds a Phd in physics. This is quite a challenge to the apologists. Kiwki57 recently assured Chapstick (I think it was Chapstick) that Martin Harris was much smarter than he is on SeN's "skeptic or gullible" thread. Well, I can assure Kiwi57, that with a Phd in physics or astronomy, John Pratt is certainly smarter than Martin Harris was, and he has given his witness of the plates of Ether. And so Kiwi57 and Dan should at minimum spend the same amount of time researching and praying in faith, to know if the plates John testified to are true, that they expect Chapstick and Gemli and others to spend reading Interpreter articles and watching their Witnesses film.
