Not part of the OP of this thread.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Since when is acknowledging that you don't know someone and therefore have no reason to trust or respect them tantamount to "conspiracy fever"? Can you explain how that works?

Not by the moderating staff here.


Oh, of course not! I was referring to his Mopologetic "handlers," as it were. I wonder if someone at the Maxwell Institute ordered him to shut up.

Nah, I'm done. :)


Oh, I'm sure you are. You understand the "unwritten order of things" about as well as any young apologist, I think. But I'm curious: were you told to stand down, or do you merely understand that this is how it's going to be?

Well, someone clearly got on the horn to call in a senior LDS apologist to do some damage control and make sure everyone knew that the Maxwell Institute couldn't be implicated in Will's bad behavior.

I think I can help. Assuming the worst in people that you don't even know is bad form.

Well, if that was the goal, it has been a complete and spectacular failure. Perhaps Silver Hammer will return to clarify some of the alarming questions that have been raised by his presence here. His/her silence will only implicate the Maxwell Institute even more deeply.

And now you're buying into the conspiracy theory.

Congratulations.

All the same, best wishes to you and your family.

Maxwell, why won't you ask William Schryver to identify the members of the small group he referenced?

That would be more interesting, to me at least, than your no-doubt genuine disappointment with MsJack for starting this thread.

Also, Wade Englund is a Turing machine, FYI. Didn't know if you knew that.
