What else would you call it?


The professor called it as he saw it: "With my sacking now".

Don't Geralds usually go with Gerry?

The fact that if it was fake, apologists would be all over it?

Yes, not a single post about any of this on yonder board.

The sound of the crickets from there is almost deafening.


Still waiting. I'll check the other thread to see if anything's come up yet. Perhaps he was fired and perhaps the emails are still fake; just more mental masturbation designed for your consumption.

Is it not fascinating to see the way these posts from bcspace are playing out? Do we see a pattern of denial and damage control here that sometimes occurs in other contexts?

The bolded bit is a particularly nice specimen of its genre.

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

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

If nothing had happened, there would still be a deafening silence on the issue.

Not at all. I'm simply interested in the unvarnished truth. The fact of the matter is that when there is some truth, anti Mormons typically make up some other "truth" to enhance their yellow journalistic position. That's where the real fascination lies for those interested in psychological or propaganda studies.

But a switch was open.

Why are the switches that catch erroneus openings still closed?

So we are now considered members of the drive by media? Coming from you that label is an honor.

One of my favorite things about the internet is when believers in the LDS Church make statements like the above with no sense of irony.
