What is this year's 'game changer' for the FAIR conference?

[_Kishkumen]

I didn't actually call it a game changer, but I would not be surprised if it proved to be one.

[_Doctor Scratch]

The Mopologists are probably expecting that it will be DCP's "Mormon Studies" talk, though his topic may change between now and then.

[_Drifting]

I've been led to believe that Michael Purdy and Scott Otterson are doing a joint presentation that aims to show that Christ did indeed want a Corporation rather than a Church.

Following their remarks, Will is presenting an earth shattering piece (currently slated for publication by the way) that proves, via a cipher theory, that women are celestially inferior unless they have great 'melons' and agree that Will is God's gift to the female species.

[_SteelHead]

When you apply Will's cypher methodology to the Book of Mormon it reveals a copy of the Necronomicon of the Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred".

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.

is the other shoe about to drop on DCP?

This will be an apologia pro sua vita thinly disguised as a scholarly paper.

[_Bob Loblaw]

This will be an apologia pro sua vita thinly disguised as a scholarly paper.

Liberally sprinkled with whining about being persecuted.

[_Themis]

The Kinderhook thing was interesting, but in no sense moved the ball forward for the apologists. Is there reason to think any of these presentations will actually be "game changers" (as opposed to merely interesting)?

The kinderhook plates were never a big issue, but what Don presented didn't help apologists(especially Will), but shows more evidence Joseph was involved with the KEP's A&G, which is a much larger problem for the church.

[_DarkHelmet]

They are going to explain how the gold plates were simply a catalyst so Joseph Smith could receive the Book of Mormon direct from God. It's a preemptive move, just in case Joseph Smith's golden plates prop is ever found.

We should create the first annual "Middle Earth Geological Cataclysm Award" for FAIR papers that drop the critics' arguments into Mount Doom and then sink Mount Doom under the continental plates.
