So any approval in my direction is by definition from faithless apostates?

Nice try, Nimrod.

Your rhetorical techniques get no traction here.

Be gone.

I know it is. From what I can tell, being honored by "these people" is your primary aspiration in life. And you’ve got it! You’ve finally achieved, among this group of faithless apostates, that elusive something you never could quite get from the faithful Saints.

So congratulations! Enjoy it while you can. I hope it's as satisfying as you imagined it would be.


What a shame Nomad that you have nowhere you can go to where people respect you, like people here respect consiglieri (even people who don't agree with him). Instead you come here and try and get some attention, to make you feel better and try to gain some self worth. No contribution to any discussion, just 'look at me look at me'. That's very sad.
Have you tried publishing anything recently, that would make you feel better, having something published...yeah that would work for you I'm sure. Give it a go...

I've always thought it would add a special something to the proceedings if, right after the sustainings, they read a list of all the intellectuals, homosexuals, and feminists excommunicated since the last general conference.


Somehow I do not have the impression that Nomad's ship is a very jolly one to be on.

Could something unpleasant have happened to him in the past few months? Let's all try to cheer him up!

I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.

Everyone knows you're Will, Will. Even DCP. I'm not sure why you bother to keep pretending you're not Will. Up until recently you only existed as an alt to back yourself up when you were losing debates. Now you're used because the name Will Schryver is now mud. But you're fooling exactly no one.

Aw man, way to add an extra two hours to conference...

Perhaps I could regale the good Captain Nomad with tales of the two articles I have had published in the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies?

Or maybe the paper BYU-Studies saw fit to print?

That should do the trick, all right.

Come cheer up, me lads,
'Tis to glory we steer.


All the Best!

I think it would be great to list all the people for the last six months, who, after having been baptized, stopped attending the same month.

It would take days.

We get to share offices with the MDD board? This new building building you speak of sounds like it will have astounding amenities compared to our humble trailer court.

by the way, were those marble walls and gold fixtures for the washroom real expensive?
