What's Become of Joseph Antley?

Does anybody have information regarding Antley's current LDS membership status?

Hopefully he Didn't get Ex'd or sent to Church Court for his involvement in this forum. I can see either of those things happening unfortunately. The Apostles emphasized in last General Conference if a member come across any false information on the internet to set those facts straight. I'm my opinion he did a better job at LDS Apologetics than most members or the Apostles for that matter, considering the Leaderships stance at Apologetics is ignore the problem and wait for the whole thing to blow over. If I were a TBM and took the Apologetics stance then got hauled into Church Court I'd be Pissed.

Why do Apostles instruct their members to enter Apologetics when they don't do it themselves? Have the General Authorities released a statement instructing their membership to avoid Apologetics since the last General Conference?

Not sure, but seems like a good place to share my favorite Joseph Antley experience.

I'm alive. Slightly bored. Got dumped by my girlfriend recently. Applying for internships. Not studying as much as I should be for my midterms. My paper got accepted for MHA this summer. Am still a happy member of the Church and will remain such.

Hi Joseph, plenty more fish in the sea.

Or as a mate of mine once advised me when faced with similar circumstances.
If your dog dies, go out and get another dog.

I think you have been fortunate with the Church's non reaction to some of your published comments etc. Not that many years ago other members were excommunicated for arguably not much more.

Good luck.

Congrats on the paper!

Good luck with your internship search.

Smart girl. She should know better than to date a boy who won't serve a mission.

Do these internships require a hairnet and name tag?

It wouldn't help.

Too bad LSDT, Young Antley and I will be joining forces and invading your homeland at the end of June.

Don't sweat the small stuff Young A. Work on that paper and I'll see you there. Let's get together for rootbeers at the mixer!

I may have to join the Calgary Militia and guard our border.
