My Interview with Brian Hauglid is Up!

[_Shulem]

PS. Glad to hear you're working on a temple documentary of when you first went to the temple. Be sure to refresh yourself with my glorious temple thread down in the Telestial Board wherein I take great effort to mock the temple and that horrible temple token.

SECOND TOKEN OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD

Mocking Mormon Man-god is what I do best!

I can't imagine Kerry not jumping at the chance to be on your show.

He might be slightly reticent being a backyard professor and all, but he is so well-read that he will shine.

If Will goes on RFM he will be on his best behavior and will not swear up a storm (I assume). Before that happens, I would like to see a Shulem episode (Anubis Strikes Back!)

Unfortunately, Dr. John Gee will not be appearing on Radio Free Mormon any time soon. Below is the email he sent me in reply to the one I sent him.

Dear _____________,

I'm sorry. I would like to address this personally, but you did not leave a name so I cannot. I usually do not respond to anonymous emails.

I am somewhat aware of certain accusations made. I am, however, already committed to another podcast and thus cannot appear on yours at this time.

Thank you for thinking of me. I appreciate the generous offer.

John Gee
William (Bill) Gay Research Professor
Asian and Near Eastern Languages
Brigham Young University

If not sooner, maybe later.

Was he referring to the FAIR Voice podcast released a few days ago? https://www.fairmormon.org/blog/2020/07 ... of-abraham

John Gee poses the question "Is the Book of Abraham inspired"?

How about we pose the question: "Are the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 inspired"?

Therein lies your biggest problem, John. They are most certainly not any more than the chapters. John, let's talk about the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 and you SHOW me how they are inspired.

Thanks.

John Gee insists that the "Book of Abraham is INSPIRED, ANCIENT, and ABRAHAMIC".

Let's talk about the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3, John. Show me how they are ancient?

Can you spell, Shulem? I can prove that the Explanations which are PART of the Book of Abraham are NOT ancient -- certainly not inspired. Abrahamic? I don't give a damn about someone who is willing to murder his son as a sacrifice. In my eyes, the man is evil.

[_Shulem]

"Shinehah" -- remarkable to pluck it out of the air to get validated?

How about SHULEM? How about OLIMLAH? Where is the king's name in Facsimile No. 3?

SHOW ME!



You're full of crap, Gee. Crap!

Abraham did not sit on a 12th Dynasty king's throne! Never! Not ever!!

Vile Asiatics. Vile Abraham.

Vile John Gee, betrays the Egyptians with blasphemy. Blasphemy against Egypt!

[_Shulem]

John,

You do NOT have a spiritual confirmation of the truthfulness of the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3.

You know they are bogus. Stop lying to everyone. Your scholarship is perverted and laced with poison. You are twisted and wrong in bearing testimony of the Book of Abraham which INCLUDES the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3.

You're a liar, John.

[_Shulem]

The bimbo interviewer laughs uncontrollably towards the end of the podcast.

Her questions were on a second grade level. Silly as primary and popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

RFM, you so need to interview John Gee. This podcast was a a joke. I can't begin to count how many times John said "um". What a bore.

John is NOT going to address the Facsimile's at the FAIR Conference. He's going to ramble about mumble jumble defensive nonsense from the Mormon point of view.

[_consiglieri]

My understanding is that Gee's position on the facsimile explanations is that Joseph Smith had nothing to do with them.

More scribal hijinks.

Just like the Abraham Egyptian Papers.

Gee doesn't like the Facsimile Explanations, that's for sure, and for good reason! But he better come to terms with one simple FACT: Joseph Smith Jr., prophet, seer, and revelator -- President of the Melchizedek Priesthood, the ONE who helds the keys of this dispensation -- HE was the one who published the Explanations in the Times & Seasons (official church periodical) while maintaining his authority over the press as Chief Editor and in making an official declaration that his work at the press was his responsibility as he dispensed his "revelation" through the "Spirit".

Gee wants to distance the Explanations from Smith like Nibley wanted to distance the Kirtland Papers from Smith. Snap!

Saying that Smith had nothing to do with the Explanations is like saying Woodruff had nothing to do with the Manifesto. Gee has to face up to the fact that Smith published his work as a revelation and the First Presidency canonized the Book of Abraham to include the CHAPTERS and the FACSIMILES. They go hand in hand. It's a single work presented as a revelation and has been certified as canon -- scripture.

Gee would tread on apostasy if he were to get up to the pulpit and express the view that the Explanations were not from Smith. Had he expressed that to Joseph Smith he would have found himself excommunicated from the church in Nauvoo.

I've discussed the divine providence of the Explanations, if memory serves, in this thread:

Poor Gee. He's pathetic.
