Thanks. That was a lot more useful, not to mention more polite.

Schryver has recently announced his imminent departure from MADB and kindred MB's:

As for myself, I have reached the limit of my endurance when it comes to these online forums. I have become such a lightning rod of late that my words, however much light they may cast upon the scene, are getting lost in the thunder. I have concluded, therefore, that I must act to place my words in a new context that will both shield them from the wanton vandals as well as make them more potent and persuasive in the eyes of those who are best positioned to derive benefit therefrom.

And so, with that, I bid you all a final, if not universally fond, farewell.


jwhitlock has singly, thus far, noted his departure.

For what it's worth...

CFR. And well they should be! FMH are infinitely more powerful than Will... after all, they can give birth.

It may come as a surprise to most of you, since you sincerely believe that this message board is full of “truth” and reliable information, but you’re nuts to believe that William Schryver has been censured by anyone, whether at FAIR, or the MI, or in church leadership.



Except for two or three people at FAIR, no one else believed Will did anything wrong when it comes to Trevor edited by harmony: violation of Rule #3’s tall tale about having his “privacy” violated. They know the “rest of the story,” and it is much different than the version that edited by harmony has crafted on this message board. In fact, the net result of edited by harmony’s lame attempt to discredit Schryver has been that Trevor’s reputation has been destroyed in the minds of those who previously considered him to be a half-way decent fellow. Most people at FAIR had not known how hostile edited by harmony was towards the church until he caused them to review his posting career on this board. Now edited by harmony is viewed less as a well-meaning disbeliever and more as a calculating apostate.



As for Schryver’s reputation among church leadership, I know that there are people at the highest levels who are aware of him and his work, and they are excited to see that work come to fruition. As I understand it, permission for him to obtain full access to the Book of Abraham materials in the archives was granted at the highest possible levels.



Will’s decision to avoid the message boards has everything to do with wanting to focus more fully on the work he is doing, rather than wasting any more time in fruitless discussions with apostates.



So fantasize anything you want, just don’t start believing that your fantasies have anything to do with the reality of things as they really are.

Oh, you mean the cowardly apostles of the church, those of the highest levels. Let me tell you something about those apostles, they are false prophets and have no real power. They love to have titles and be reverenced by the members of the church but they have no real power. The beast and the false prophet will eat them for lunch.

Nothing about FAIR surprises me. I just consider the source(s).

And we're supposed to believe YOU because YOU, of course, have shown yourself to be so trustworthy in the past.

Can I interest you in a bridge in New York City? You can buy it cheap.

And this is supposed to add weight to your opinion? You do realize where you are, right? We don't take much at face value here, especially from drive-by's whose knowledge and understanding has yet to be shown as worthwhile.


Will’s decision to avoid the message boards has everything to do with wanting to focus more fully on the work he is doing, rather than wasting any more time in fruitless discussions with apostates.


No doubt that his story and he's sticking to it. It's good he has you to spread it around.

So, all that time William spent was fruitless. Countless hours. And all the hours spent on the MAD board by fools who defend the church are fruitless too. As you say, "Wasting" their time.

William is about to apostatize and his whole life will turn upside down. His house must be a mess by now. Just watch it happen. You will see. Confusion is swelling in him now. But this board will receive him in kindness after he denounces the Book of Abraham as a fraud and MAD will rail him as an evil apostate. That's the difference between the boards.

I'm sure we all await, with bated breath, the fruition of his arduous labors, most especially such apostates as frequent MADB.
