In a recent interview, Romney expressed regret that Joe Biden didn’t pardon Trump. Pardoning a president for committing crimes that have nothing to do with his official duties is a huge mistake. Ford was wrong to pardon Nixon. At least one can see how it happened. Ford was, after all, a Republican, ...

My favorite Pahoran episode was from ZLMB, when the subject of Ronald E. Poelman's re-taped conference talk was raised. He had never heard of this and outright denied that it could be true. When his fellow apologists on the board finally managed to convince him that it happened, he immediately chan...

I don't get the Mopologist interest. Is this something taught as a miracle in the CES curriculum? What's the doctrinal underpinning? I've never heard of a transfiguration account from the scriptures where one person turns into another. Like Satan turning into an angel of light. As a Chapel Mormon, ...

I guess it is important for LDS people to believe that Brigham Young was Joseph Smith’s successor, despite the fact that he did not see himself as such for some time. I think it is pretty obvious that he was not Smith’s successor. This does not mean he was not the leader of his community. It does no...

What's the Mormon connection to all of this?

Definitely belongs in another forum.
