It occurs to me that we may be witnessing another instance of Mopologists trashing the memory of a senior Mopologist with the publication of a “tribute” volume that unwittingly reveals what the Mopologists really think of the supposed honoree. I’m confident, Doctor Scratch, that you recall the dumps...

Last night, I attended a celebration for George Mitten in honor of the publication of a collection of his essays, entitled Joseph Smith and Our Preparation for the Lord’s Final Judgment . The book is a nice tribute to Brother Mitten. However, I winced when I saw the cover design. Whose idea was it t...

They must be referring to someone other than Peterson. Have we looked for this Dan Petersen? Dan Peterson has insisted that Interpreter articles go through a stringent process of peer review and editing, and must be of the highest quality before release. I may email my good friend Richard Nygren do...

Does it take more than once to stick? In fact, the proxy baptisms for the Signers had been completed in stages by various people starting in Nauvoo and ending in 1876. John D. T. McAllister, who helped Woodruff in the temple, had even participated in doing some of the Signers’ work six years earlie...

I must confess that Spencer W. Kimball’s piercing words nearly 50 years ago about the urgency of doing temple work have long haunted me. In my view, they should continue to haunt the daily thoughts and nocturnal dreams and inspire nightmares of every faithful Latter-day Saint: The spirit world is fu...

LOL. So he's happy, and finds it to be "wonderfully good news" that Frenchy and either Wife #1 or Wife #2 are going to be reunited, but he also understands that their marriage has essentially been dissolved . They're just friends or acquaintances, I guess? Their actual marriage relationship no long...
