hauslern, I may be feeling tired today but your link article about historical treatment of Jefferson was too crabbed for me to wish to dig through. Was there something of interest buried behind those thickets of unpleasant sentences? I found a more straightforward set of observations https://clarkno...

Two thoughts, first I think it very likely the leaders of the church remain convinced that it is true. People believe things like that. Why more temples? I have been puzzled by that but have had a thought. I have recently been very puzzled by peoples reaction to Peterson's attitude towards senior m...

Just to see if any discussion can be found I will pose a question. What is real shaminism and how can it be determined. Religion precontact with modern world?

It's one thing about Trump you can appreciate. He inevitably tells you what he's doing because he can't help but accuse...

Rivendale, perhaps you could clarify your comment a bit for those of us who have not followed this particular theory. What papers do you mean being hidden, by whom, and when? What previous attempts of what fit in here? Yes I have heard of a speculated Spaulding manuscript purloined by Rigdon from a...

I just finished listening to Mormonism live with Nelson. He claims it is the most parsimonious theory. His statistical opionion is that Joseph only had about 5% authorship with Rigdon and Spalding carrying the majority? That seems tenuous especially with the scant evidence that Rigdon recieved the ...

Drumdude, reading your quote I read that the church did what the fellow asked and his wife states it is for the best. I am not seeing what you are upset about.
