Roland Martin does a great job exposing today's media for pushing this pro-Israel narrative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i63gYmDPj5Q&t=735s Turns out the agitators at these colleges aren't the pro-Palestinian protesters, it is the outsiders coming to start trouble. We saw the same thing with th...

It is stunning how ajax18's blinkered thinking so closely resembles Jenn Kamp's recent court appearance. "Why can't I demand the same from my opponents that they demand of me, even though I obviously do not understand the laws or procedures governing this situation? Don't I get to decide arbitrarily...

Those recollections claiming to remember the names Nephi and Lehi do make me think that Smith might well have done some cribbing from Spalding. On the other hand I gather that lots of people had notions about ancient Jews populating the Americas. I think that for a long time European Christians cou...

It's like you paid no attention to anything I typed. You still think "Spalding's Work" is the Oberlin Manuscript and not Manuscript Found . "Spalding's Work" also includes the Romance of Celes , which Nielsen quotes in his HBMCP. He ought to have published that and let people judge for themselves w...

That was painful to hear. She’s wasting an incredible amount of her and others’ time and resources. One wonders if she should be fined or held in contempt for these shenanigans.

The judge was incredibly patient with her, all things considered.

I recommend a recent RFM podcast on Jenn Kamp in a hearing where she stands accused of spoliation of evidence regarding her alleged defamation of John Dehlin. After RFM’s intro, the last 1.5 hours are the part most worth listening to.

So if an author’s two works are boring, then that accounts for why everyone magically remembers the names “Nephi” and “Lehi” even though they didn’t actually exist in the first one? Please explain the connection, ‘cause I don’t see how. I think the connection is pretty obvious. Their knowledge of t...

Shades, I can tell you how these people could have experienced memory contamination: Spalding’s writing sucks. It is boring as hell, and as tedious as parts of the Book of Mormon can be, its opening chapters are much more engaging than Spalding’s extant work.

Dr. Shades, What would be the difference between believing there is a longer Manuscript Found as a critic, and believing in a longer Book of Abraham scroll destroyed in the Chicago fire as an apologist? Thank you! I was thinking the very same thing yesterday. By the time I got back to the thread th...

It wasn't a silly assumption. You said that "the Book of Mormon bears a generic and rough narrative resemblance to Manuscript Found." The extant manuscript to which we can compare the Book of Mormon is the rough draft recovered from Ms. McKinstry's trunk. You can't say that regarding Manuscript Fou...
