New Maxwell Institute Book from Jack Welch

[_Daniel Peterson]

You need to contact Dr. Shades about that "Seething Cauldron of Hatred." Do you see, above your avatar, where it says, "God"? *That* is what I was talking about. Mine has been personalized to say, "Master Mahan." Clever, eh? I urge you to contact Dr. Shades, so that you, too, can have a personalized avatar descriptor!

I've done that. But, in the meantime, I thought it would be good to have the descriptor in my signature.

People here who haven't yet realized, from my posts, that I'm a seething cauldron of hate urgently need to come to that understanding as soon as possible.

by the way: Who is "Master Scartch"? Or do you just think that ridiculing people's screen names is an effective form of debate?

No.

I see it as an efficient short-hand method of expressing my low esteem for your on-line character and your ceaseless, obsessive, and malevolent campaign of gossip and personal defamation.

Most conventional thinkers tend to believe that the best way to appreciate a work is to read it.

Actually, as has already been demonstrated, most conventional thinkers know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. Clark, Sorenson, and probably now Welch, have been and will continue to be ignored in their attempts to demonstrate any actual existence of Book of Mormon historicity amongst "thinkers". Did you not already admit this four years ago? If your position has now changed because of even a slight acceptance or interest of their works in Book of Mormon historicity beyond the Provo campus, please share it with us!

IF you can't (as I am sure is the case), please feel free and continue in your attempts to bolster book sales for FARMS. A good pitch man never quits.

It seems, frankly, that the learning curve on this matter is considerably too steep for you, but one should never give up hope.

Obviously the "acceptance curve" for these supposedly scholarly works is even steeper! It seems that the "hope" not given up is that quantity will overcome quality!!
[500 pages to demonstrate what? That someone has a lot of free time in Provo?!]

The quality of arguments and evidence, Joey, isn't measured by their popularity, let alone by counting up the number of people who're unaware of their existence.

You continue in your obvious ignorance to a changing time of instant awareness via technology. If the boundaries of the Provo city limits is as far as the works of Clark, Sorenson, and now Welch, are as far as their works, on a historic people, draw interest from their respective peer group and the academic world in general, it is far more telling than your church generated rationalizations.

But we know your role as the consumate "pitch man". It may not pay well, but at least it pays!

Carry on!

Hey come on, now---20 grand isn't exactly "chump change."

Perhaps not for a college professor. Remember, those who can do, those who can't teach.

And those that can't teach go into management.

You're right. They're unknown beyond Provo. Take Jack Welch's new book, for example: On the back, it receives praise from Terryl Givens, at the University of Richmond (in north Provo); from Raymond Westbrook, of Johns Hopkins University (in west Provo); and F. Rachel Magdalene, of Augustana College (in south Provo). Since it's a book on ancient law, it's perhaps relevant to note that Welch has, among other things, served on the executive committee of the Provo-based Biblical Law Section of the Provo-based Society of Biblical Literature.

Does it ever bother you that your posts make no sense?

Only in the mythology of Scartchworld -- of which you're a worthy citizen.

Remember, those who can do, those who can't teach.

Spoken like a true anti-intellectual.
