According to Elder and Sister Renlund, the enemy are the “hack” tennis instructors who take business away from the “Roger Federer” pros, all in the business of teaching tennis to the masses. Makes you wonder, though, because anyone can look at court performance and judge for themselves who plays well and who doesn’t. Scoreboard suggests it’s the self-proclaimed pros who are being exposed as hacks.

An interesting remark from Dr. Midgley:
Louis Midgley wrote:I have been heavily involved in responding to the rubbish published by the truly disgusting Protestant countercult movement, with Professor Peterson and also Bill Hamblin, and others. And I am also still very much inclined to target those on the margins of the Church who insist that the Book of Mormon is merely frontier fiction somehow fashioned by Joseph Smith out of his own imagination.
Interesting. He seems to be saying that he and other Mopologists deliberately targeted fellow Latter-day Saints at the "new" Maxwell Institute. I mean, we already knew that, but it's somewhat refreshing to see such a clear admission of their malice.

Isn't this a clear admission that he's been lying the whole time about Gina Colvin, and that his confrontation wasn't about being friends?

His story has shifted many times. I think that most recent version had him merely stopping by some ward in New Zealand, and would you know it? The bishop happened to know Gina Colvin's husband! And not only that, but he and Midgley quickly became fast friends! And they had a laugh or two over how silly that Gina can sometimes be!

Seriously, he was out to get her from day one. His openly bellyaching to DCP about being called out for it was one of the clearest admissions of guilt that I've ever seen from any Mopologist, ever. It's also one of the only times I've ever seen any of them confess to feeling bad about their rotten behavior.

I found this Midgley comment to be an utterly spectacular display of projection:
Louis Midgley > gemli

gemli simply cannot do much of anything "respectfully."

The reason is that he operates from a self-imposed ignorance...
The midge and the concept of "respectfulness" have absolutely no overlap.

"Targeting those on the margins of the church."


Just wow. Thank you Professor Midgley for contributing more evidence for my thesis.

It's why we target these non Christian Mormons back in podcasts, articles, and videos. If they don't like it, they can repent and begin following the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or pay the price of exposure. Ain't it great they still have their free agency as all the rest of us?

Gotta love the stalker in residence at sic et non. Midge just can't stand anyone messing with his blessed maori narrative and so flew half-way around the world to attempt to ruin a marriage. I bet many New Zealanders breathed a little easier when his cruise ship left, when Midge boarded the plane, and probably more when the plane took off.

It certainly shows his motives and state of mind about these matters. Such a statement would be front and center had a criminal trial occurred.

The real truth is Midge's Maori "knowledge" is at least half phony, being based on Mormon myth and so-called testimony. And oh how he loves to crow he knows more than anyone since he served missions there! :lol:
