Re: The 2020 Sampson Avard Golden Scepter Award

Somebody want to list each year's winner? I don't want to go back and try to create the list, but if someone has it, it'd be fun to see. The Cassius archivist is out today, but off the top of my head: 2020: Hanna Seariac 2019: Louis Midgley and Blake Ostler 2018: Allen Wyatt 2017: Stephen Smoot 201...

Re: Folding like Darwin's House of Cards?

Everybody Wang Chung, I believe the Interpreter Foundation has spent nearly $313,000 on Volume III of the Book of Mormon Critical Text Project. I've forwarded this information to the Relief Society sister in Parowan. She contributes most of her monthly pension to the Interpreter Foundation. The wido...

Folding like Darwin's House of Cards?

I recently spent $100 on two large volumes by Doctors Skousen and Carmack claiming, among other things, that a number of word uses, phrases, and expressions in the Book of Mormon disappeared from English one to three centuries prior to 1830. See The Nature of the Original Language of the Book of Mor...

Is this board working? I tried to put up a new post yesterday and received error messages.

Re: The 2020 Sampson Avard Golden Scepter Award

Cassius is on the west coast, and all the fires, among other things, have been difficult to deal with and think about. That reminds me: during my senior year of high school, I toured several college campuses in the northeastern part of the United States. While passing through Massachusetts, I thoug...

Re: Death of Tom Kimball

It wasn’t you who asked.

I should add that I’m not Tom Wayment. I don’t know Greek and I am not an academic of any sort.

Re: Death of Tom Kimball

I can confirm that I was not Tom Kimball. I also did not know, nor did I have any type of relationship with, him. I knew nothing about his personal history. As a secondary subject of this thread, I will note that an active member of this board asked me 12 years ago via PM here if I was Tom Kimball, ...

Re: "Bitter Fruit"

Peterson reports the words used as follows... “Adultery, promiscuity, elective abortion, and out-of-wedlock births are but some of the bitter fruits that grow out of the immorality sanctioned by the sexual revolution,” said Elder Christofferson. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2020/10/of-...

Re: DCP Recycles The Same Article At Least 4 Different Times.

I must confess that I am occasionally amused by recycled posts. For example, in February 2018 the SeN proprietor posted an excerpt from his book, Abraham Divided :https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2018/02/west-owes-east-part-5.html The reader will note that this particular item was posted fr...

Re: Contemplating a Cruise

I expect that I would greatly enjoy a Cruise Lady tour of Egypt. In my mind’s eye, I can see myself holding on to Dr. Peterson in a hot air balloon as it “accidentally” crash lands on Elephantine Island (which just happens to be one of the most important of all Book of Mormon archaeological sites) o...
