Sure is funny how official LDS magazines talk about Green Flake but fail to mention that the Church accepted him as human tithing.
This is the first I have ever read of the Church accepting "human tithing." I know of BY's endorsement of slavery as inspired of God, but to actually accept a slave as "tithing" takes it to a whole new level.
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."
-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)
What Bruce Hood said makes sense to me when applied to Peterson's increasingly puzzling blog posts:
There are some interesting phenomena emerging. There is evidence of homophily – the grouping together of individuals who share a common perspective, which is not too surprising. More interesting is evidence of polarization. Rather than opening up and exposing us to different perspectives, social networking on the Internet can foster more radicalization as we seek out others who share our positions. The more others validate our opinions, the more extreme we become.

That could potentially be quite moving, actually, since my great-grand mother was an Amerindian (born in the Caribbean). My siblings and I are the "remnants" of that genocide. I can even provide you her name, and a 1927 photo, but I'd never do anything like that on this mocking board.

Engage with my allegedly invalid points.

I'm sure that our Moplogist friends will all agree that anti-Mormonism is the work of God, which has conferred great benefits upon believing Latter-day Saints.

You must identify closely. Island or mainland? Actual Caribbean or Guyana? Do you hold with the 100% Caribbean Island pre-Columbian native genocide position or with the some cultural and/or genetic survivial postion. If from an island, I would assume the very last position, otherwise, you wouldn't exist.
