While a paycheck is a paycheck, I think we ought to recognize that most of the participants will already be living in or around Provo. So this amounts to a new plasma tv and a year's cable subscription with HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax. Not a bad lifestyle for upcoming apologist hopefuls to set their sites on. $mith would have approved, I'm certain.

Green eyes, I guess, is at the root of your out of whack response.


Hey, income is income. And I would be green with envy, if it didn't mean that I had to make excuses for Joseph Smith to get a measly 3000 bucks.

Call for references here. Do you know this? I know members of FAIR who live all around the country, and some even out of the US.

Isn't the paying of expenses kinda the point of a salary?

Don't spoil a good pity-party with the facts, Kid. These Mormon apologists are like self-flagellating mendicant friars. They live off of roach turds and sleep in hollow logs. They donate all of their stipends to the Gordon B. Hinckley prophet's hottub fund (PHF for short).

When the 12 spots fill up, we'll see. Yes, you know members of FAIR who live all around the country. But, believe me when I say, no one, not even the church is going to cough up 3K for the work of the typical FAIR apologist.

Especially while they're still straining to crap out the latest, half-digested issue of the FARMS Review.

Could they cut costs by allowing one of the aspiring apologists to crash on DCP's couch?

The we could spread rumors about how some of them left because they refused his advances!

$3,000 for six weeks work?

Are they working delivering pizzas on the side to make ends meet?

I'd lose my house at that income level.

This is obviously a simple living expence for while they are there.
