It seems that both Jasmin and Neal Rappleye no longer work with Scripture Central. Other people seem to have been let go as well.

Jasmin discussed her move away from SC a month ago at a new YouTube channel. It doesn't seem to have been voluntary:

ETA: It looks like Don Bradley used to have some sort of affiliation but no longer does. They seem to have lost a bunch of board members, likely they were donors.

Check the Archive.org version of the SC "Team" page and compare it with the current version:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240713170 ... l.org/team

https://scripturecentral.org/team
It is odd that the team page doesn’t appear to include links to profile pages for others, such as Matt Roper (see below) and Robert Boylan.

I think it involves paranormal manipulation regarding the carrying and transport capabilities of tapirs. I wonder if this will all be revealed at the upcoming FAIR Conference at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah?

I’m just glad that Robert Boylan is still there.
If you look at the staff page, he isn't there. I suppose maybe they're reorganizing things and took people off in the interim, but if that's not the case, then Boylan is gone, along with many others.

It looks like Robert Boylan parted ways with Scripture Central in order to pursue his other passions.

I was thinking there would be a shakeup at SC. They were put under new leadership a while ago. Cuts were definitely on the horizon. I do hope Don was not one of the people cut.

I looked around and identified six employees who left SC in the March through May 2025 period. Do you have an idea of how many people were let go?

Is it plausible to think that the Church, by virtue of the funding it provides to SC, is now exerting some influence?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Jasmin, who might have every reason to expose dirty secrets about Scripture Central since she was laid off by them, posted a video just three days ago where she denies that the Church was directly a sponsor of them.

She did mention that some influencers have been receiving money through third parties but did not indicate Scripture Central received funds in the same way as the example of this she gave. But let’s say it were so, what third party would it be done through and how would it be proven? Until then it seems rather speculative to me.

The video for reference:
