That really is hilarious — and more than a little sad. How would it be to be that obsessed with tearing down the church? www.discussmormonism.com? Mr. Peterson’s obsessive, decades-long crusade against Cassius both here and on the board’s prior iteration, is a sad and sordid affair more akin to addiction and mental illness than virtuously defending the Lord’s kingdom.

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.

Re: My Review of the Witnesses
So the (mis)identification of stir fry in a film is on the level with tearing down the church? That seems a bit too sensitive, if not mildly cultish.Doctor Scratch wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 11:52 pmThat really is hilarious — and more than a little sad.

Not when one comes to the testimony that Daniel C. Peterson and anything he writes, produces, sings, or belches IS Mormonism.
Re: My Review of the Witnesses
Thank you for the review, Everybody Wang Chung. It seemed like a fair assessment to me - perhaps because it's about what one familiar with DCP's overall approach to his work would expect. I especially appreciated your description of the ambiance in the theater itself. That said a lot. Your time and effort are appreciated by many of us who live outside the Mormon Curtain.

Is this what is supposed to be Dinty Moore stew from a can? I would have avoided it also.

The scene with the seer stone and top hat is one that would be easy to get right. Light coloured top hat, face placed right in it to seal out the light - these are well known historical facts that the movie should have gotten right. That they didn’t can only be deliberate. In the recent Nelson video put out by the church, they got the top hat prop right, it was light coloured. But Nelson couldn’t bring himself to properly demonstrate how Joseph used it. He was awkwardly hesitant about being it close to his face.
Why are they scared of showing what the records show actually happened? Why didn’t “Witnesses” get this simple thing right?
