I'm tucking this here because in a typical comments section attack on Moksha, Sam LeFevre tells this whopper:

http://disq.us/p/2awi0hh

"Sam LeFevre > Moksha • 14 hours ago

No. It was the running. I know from personal experience, that even old fat soldiers can shake a leg while packing 80 lbs of gear, weapons, and ammo, when the mortars start throwing dirt clods."

What is it with Mormon apologists and BS military tales? There is just no way a "fat old Soldier" can "shake a leg" packing 80 lbs of gear, weapons, and ammo whether or not mortars are dropping. Between Louis "stolen valor" Midgley, Hugh "poppin' 88's" Nibley, and now Sam "80 lbs of gear" LeFevre, the Mormon apologists have really plumbed the depths of perfidy and dishonor by claiming military heroism and feats they themselves either never did or could never do. damned clowns, all of them.

Midgley:

The names of 122,766 are known who went up the Stack there, and it is estimated that the total number was 320,000.

Dear god someone needs to tell Midgley to stop using that phrase. It is jarring and beyond insensitive.

Wasn't it the SS guards themselves who originated and used that phrase?

I don't think Lounatic Midgley got the memo:

"Louis Midgley > dCyl a day ago

Professor Peterson and I, for very different reasons, have a serious interest in Mauthausen, which is near Linz on the Donau in upper Austria. It was operated from 1938 until "liberated" on 3 May 1945. Dan's Father was right there when the US Army arrived. The names of 122,766 are known who went up the Stack there, and it is estimated that the total number was 320,000. Dachau saw 41,500 murdered. But Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland had somewhere between 1.1 and 1.6 million sent up the Stack."

Up the stack.

Midgley
I have exactly no interest in the "entire life story" of gemli. And I have not fashioned a "stick figure" of who gemli is.

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeters ... 5007516481
Also Midgley:
I very much doubt that gemli can remember a single thing from that early indoctrination. And I doubt that someone who hides their real identity under the odd name gemli, while trying hard to keep posting the same rubbish over and over about matters about which he knows little or nothing, all in the vain hope that he will somehow gain a symbolic immortality by being eventually discovered as a heroic figure who somehow managed to liberate himself from proclivities of a need that most all human beings just happen to have evolved to wrongly have.

You just have to laugh, at some point. What an obnoxious little ass Midgley is.

Professor Midgley is on a monthly repeat loop of sharing the same group of stories over and over. He is likely mis-remembering with the same repetition.

Except that with each loop, his enemies get worse, his tribulations expand, his trials increase, gemli de-evolves, he becomes more saintly, mormondiscussions descends further into a sewer and the whole human race collectively becomes less human than any single LDS person. no wonder no one takes him seriously any more.

If he weren't so cranky all the time .... maybe I'd feel sorry for the misguided warrior who is obviously slipping a bit.

Let me be the first person to announce the publication of the festschrift in honor of Dr. Midgley. I’ve ordered eight copies and intend to have them bound in leather. The cheap paperback is a slight, I think, toward Dr. Midgley.

Huh. Maybe Allen Wyatt will truck the copies down from Wyoming, and will strap a sliver tray to his back, get down on all fours, and pass them out to everyone? (Socially distanced and masked-up, of course. Though Wyatt will be expected to wear a mask with a pig snout on it.)
