Dan Peterson breaks Church Rules in pursuit of Mopologetics

[_Mayan Elephant]

How many discussions has mddb had on this, and what would it mean if mddb will not allow discussions on the topic?

Does MAD even allow the general public to view the board?

yes. they allow the general public to view 10 pages. And after a guest has viewed 10 pages, then Dan Peterson's people block you from viewing any further compliments the other posters may have about Dan Peterson or his discussion board. so, if you have three browsers on your computer, you can see 30 pages without an account, then you are done.

the other option is to create an account, and not say anything intelligent, direct, reasonable, naughty, investigative, rational or coherent. With an account where you say nothing, or, you write and share the same crap that bcscpace or our Heavenly Father would say to Dan Peterson in response to Dan's humble prayers, then you are free to read and post as much as wade england.

So to survive as a MAD registrant, you can

• take the approach: Mormonism's all right/Somebody check my brain
• register, never post, but lurk, or
• yell the cheer, "Dan, Dan, he's our man, if he can't do it, nobody can!"--i.e., become an OMID sycophant.

Thank you, no.

This is such a hot topic here I've lost count of the related threads -- but I find it utterly amazing that NOTHING is being said over on MAD about any of this. Just goes to show, that the folks over there 'bury their heads in the sand' when it comes to an obvious screw-up by DCP. In this regard, DCP has become as untouchable on MAD as Joseph Smith.

I’d imagine their responses would run along Liz’s proposed defenses, which most of them boil down to “DCP’s concerns are Church business”.

Which boils down further to the equating of the Church and Dan for all intents and purposes.

You're a very insecure person. You've left wizardry, or maybe like Lucius Malfoy you still hypocritically embrace it but don't believe a word of it, except by some perfunctory reference to "Harry Potter". How many hours do you spend here, each and every day? Like a Voldemort filled with the determination to turn people away from wizardry, that's the most obvious thing I see in all your posts. No one can get a pass unless Darth shows them that they have a "frenzied mind" because they believe in some magical delusion called "wizardry", which by extension believes in some deluded messiah called "Harry Potter".

You're here to "straighten out" the wizards, aren't you, Darth? And show them a "better way", which way is to deny the Boy Who Lived, to deny the existence of Merlin, to offer "more rational explanations" to all of the supernatural phenomena you assign to "superstition", and to give them hope that they will find redemption by reading books like Tom Riddle's diary. The Dark Arts Trump's Harry Potter any day, in Darth's campaign to redeem the foolish from their delusions.

If Darth ever had a spark of magic, or even a spark of belief in wizardry at some stage, folks - the lights have gone out. All is darkness. You're reading the words of a Peter Pettigrew. You're reading the words of a Voldemort, who has nothing better to do all day long than try to dissuade the believers, and to turn them against members of the Order of the Phoenix like Professor Dumbledore. You're reading a man obsessed, who now wants to turn people away from the very wizardry he once believed, and because he has lost his faith, he can't possibly comprehend how any "rational person" can believe what he once believed.

You poor souls who take Darth J seriously. What's your problem? Can I help you escape this modern day Bellatrix Lestrange, this false wizard of no hope? This man obsessed who spends day in and day out trying to persuade you to abandon a belief in Harry Potter, and in Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which School expects moral accountability from those who claim to practice magic.

There will be no compromise. If you follow Darth, then you will become a Death Eater.

In the meantime, though, Everybody Wang Chung continues to post comments on the message board that seem radically incongruous with being a faithful member of the Church, let alone a currently-serving bishop. Many of them are extremely insulting toward Peterson. He is also reputed to have sent some extraordinarily abusive and crude emails to one or two people who are friendly to Peterson.

Daniel C. Peterson,

Really? CFR that I've ever sent "emails" crude, professional or otherwise, to anyone about you. Strange and false accusations, but I look forward to your response to my CFR.

It's pathetic and tragic. Daniel C. Peterson really is the Willy Loman of Mopologetics.

Daniel, please stop. You're only hurting yourself and the Church.
