"Mormon Interpreter" Resurrects Tvedtnes

[_Doctor Scratch]

Thanks for not further derailing my thread, Liz. I appreciate it.

is the picture of Tvedtnes accompanying the MI piece just a cropped screen cap from that defunct Meridian page?

It might be, though I think I recall seeing it on the Maxwell Institute's "authors" page. It looks pretty grainy and poor-quality, doesn't it?

I am sure that Dan can meet an article a week with all the resources at Mormon Scholars Testify. So am not sure why he has to dig up the old relics and repeat old stuff.

Probably not a has-to so much as a wants-to by DCP.

DCP's efforts at recruiting for Interpreters reminds me of the 2010 movie Red: "When his mopologetic life is threatened by high ranking Bradford, former black-ops agent DCP reassembles his old team in a last ditch effort to survive and uncover Mormon critics."

Mormon Interpreter really is the gift that keeps on giving. It occurs to me that there was a bit of a trade-off in opting for the "not-for-profit" status. Yes, they can now solicit tax-deductible donations, but we'll get to see exactly how much the Members of the Board are compensating themselves for things like "editing" a long-lost article that was written ages ago by John Tvedtnes. Based on the past financial documents, it appears that they think this sort of work is worth something like $5,000, just for the editing. And hey: I have to hand it to them. If they are able to earn money like this for that kind of work, then I think you have to concede that they are playing the market very wisely.

Now that was a very funny post.

It has come to my attention that DCP has announced this article on his blog. There is still no mention whatsoever that the Tvedtnes piece is a word-for-word reprint of an old article.

Peterson seems uninterested in the subject. Asked on his blog whether the piece is a reprint of a Meridian Magazine article, he replies: "Possibly so. I have no idea. But if I have no idea, others probably have no idea, either, which likely means that it doesn’t much matter . . ."

Quality control is slipping.

How do you suppose they are making money off of "Mormon Interpreter"?

Are they offering print versions you can subscribe to receive? Anyone can read the articles online. I am just curious.
