Jeff seems to be receiving better medical attention than missionaries receive.., Mormon missionary who nearly DIED while preaching scripture in Argentina reveals how church leaders simply told her they'd 'say a PRAYER for her' when she begged them for medical help https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail...

I watched an evolution among the Mormons I grew up around. When I was a kid they absolutely denied that they were Christians and they asserted that the Book of Mormon was completely true and reliable. The LDS anger towards Christianity stemmed from the religious officials of the 1893 World’s Parlia...

BH Roberts was responsible for a number of watershed moments within Mormonism, such as when he wanted to present a report to the Brethren on historical problems within the Church. The Brethren voted to table that report indefinitely by placing their hands on their ears, eyes, and mouths (leading to...

That's the one where Everybody Wang Chung described Dr. Peterson as the Willy Loman of Mopologetics. God bless him. I know it won’t even make page 10 of the Times when DCP passes but the man is an absolute treasure in post-Mormon circles. I’ll be sad when he’s not around to amuse us any longer. Cal...

President Hinckley said years ago that “ The Lord is fulfilling His promise that His gospel shall be as the stone cut out of the mountain without hands which would roll forth and fill the whole earth, as Daniel saw in vision.” Notice that the gospel will roll forth and fill the whole earth. It does...

As I detailed in my recent MBR interview, I did not get into BYU the first time I applied. I had something of a love-hate relationship with an apologist (now ex-apologist) whom we all know but whom I won't name. He was about 10 years older than me, so ~28 to my 18. I told this person in private tha...

I think it must be hard to keep one's cool as a religious apologist because the dispute between apologists and skeptics is more than just a matter of one side being right where the other is wrong. The apologists believe that some things are not merely true, but worthy of profound reverence. The ske...

I’m referring to his writings and other material he has posted over the years. http://blakeostler.com/ If he has gotten himself involved in vitriolic apologetics I haven’t reached out to that quarter in order to read it. If he has, that is unfortunate. Care to post links in which he has taken the l...

I haven't heard of any of those people but if they know how to behave properly while doing apologetics then that is good. I know guessing motivation can be a hazardous endeavor but I'm truly interested as to why, in my experience, so many mopologists are willing to stoop so low. I don't see that ki...

Dr. Robbers is correct. It’s not defending the LDS Church per se that makes the Mopologists into horrible, combative people, but they do seem to be drawn to it based on aggressive aspects of their personalities. And I get that there is a temptation to make generalizations about them, and we can cer...
