In light of the recent firings of Daniel C. Peterson, Louis C. Midgley, George L. Mitton, Gregory L. Smith, and Robert B. White from BYU’s Neal A. Maxwell Institute,
1. Don't they know Dan resigned?
2. Have the others been "fired" too?
(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.
This is right up there with watching the TLC, Bo Gritz and the Bensonites in the 1990s. Great stuff!
It's so funny to see new apostates wriggle in denying that they are bucking their upline authority in BYU/COB/Brethren, when that is precisely what they are they doing.
Bottom line: The church doesn't think the Maxwell Institute was helping the cause. That these jokers are so clueless about how much damage it was doing is just perfect. I hope they put it back the way it was. Makes my work easier.
The angry apologists will probably migrate to FAIR, where they'll have the freedom to be who they want to be.

This is why it reminds me of the right wing fringe of the 90s. Before long these apologist will be sneaking in the SLC Temple and having prayer circles.

In light of the recent firings of Daniel C. Peterson, Louis C. Midgley, George L. Mitton, Gregory L. Smith, and Robert B. White from BYU’s Neal A. Maxwell Institute, we believe FARMS is essentially lost, in spite of President Hinckley’s vision of it’s future at the university:
It seems these supporters of the brilliant and persecuted cutting-edge scholars don't know the difference between "it's" and "its."

I know the difference but still sometimes type the wrong one if I'm not paying attention.

Are you saying you are the one behind the restore FARMS effort? If so, I'm disappointed in you.
