What's Become of Joseph Antley?

[_bcspace]

Not sure, but seems like a good place to share my favorite Joseph Antley experience.
He will forever by my favorite apologist for having the guts to do this:

That's nothing. I've actually brought it up in class as a teacher and mentioned it over the pulpit.

He got worn down and left.

Don't besmirch Simon's memory that way, Buff.

No. Last year while serving as a Sunday school teacher in a student/singles' ward, someone complained about something they considered controversial I said in class. The stake had someone sit on my next class, and I repeated what I had said, and he had no problems with it. I was called as the ward Sunday school president a few weeks later.

I've never once been reprimanded by an LDS authority for having, expressing, or publishing supposedly "heterodox" views, many of which I have discussed amicably with my bishops and stake presidents, including the son of a current prophet.

I don't think there are any committed, long-time LDS members who fit perfectly this model of "orthodoxy" that we sometimes pretend exists.

Well, there ya go.

I thought there was only one current prophet. Perhaps I've been misinformed, lo, these 41 years.

I don't think there are any committed, long-time LDS members who fit perfectly this model of "orthodoxy" that we sometimes pretend exists.

No pretending needed. I live with one and I raised several. (just doing my part to make the world a better place...)
