He is such a threat that they refer to him as MR. Meldrum, not BROTHER. Pretty ad hominem eh?
Not that anybody serious here takes PP seriously . . . but, just for the record:
FARMS/the Maxwell Institute hasn't, so far as I'm aware, referred to Rodney Meldrum at all.
YET
Farm, Fair, MI, and the like all suck from the same dirty teat.
... our church isn't true, but we have to keep up appearances so we don't get shunned by our friends and family, fired from our jobs, kicked out of our homes, ... Please don't tell on me. ~maklelan
It's true, since we review just about everything published on the Book of Mormon, that we'll almost certainly review Rodney Meldrum's stuff.
The fact remains, though, that PP's claim that writers for FARMS or the Maxwell Institute "refer to him as MR. Meldrum, not BROTHER," is flatly false, as is the claim that they do so because he's "such a threat" to them, since, thus far, no writer for FARMS or the Maxwell Institute has referred to Rodney Meldrum at all. Nor, for that matter, is anybody at FARMS or the Maxwell Institute currently working on a review of anything by Rodney Meldrum.
Attempts at mindreading are often unpersuasive -- but they're especially so when they're seeking the motivation for an action that, as a matter of fact, hasn't even happened.

Well, for goodness sakes, get off your collective duff and do something about that neglect. PP needs something to complain about, and you aren't keeping your part of the bargain.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
... One possibly big error in the origin of the name of the city pegged as Ammonihah has been pointed out to me, but the overall reasoning seems good and the negative FARMS treatment of it was just a gloss over imho.
It does contain a unique way of looking at the river Sidon and the narrow neck of land.

I dunno why anyone would argue about city names without first explaining how Adam practiced Christianity, contrary to every historical assessment we have by reputable scholars. Isn't it a bit like straightening deck chairs on the Titanic?

What, in your opinion, did Adam practice?
Not Christianity. No scholar worth his salt would argue this, because the evidence simply isn't there.
But the POGP states that Adam had "the gospel". And that Christianity was known since the time of Adam. In all its fulness! This, mind you, was at a time when Jews didn't even believe in an afterlife, at all, much less with specific grades of salvation.
