Re: Forty Hours Per Week?
I would believe 40 hours as follows: 10-15 hours combined, a few minutes at a time, reading messages on this site and talking about them over email with his fellow “defenders” and plotting responses 5 hours searching old blog posts and notes for material to copy into “new” blog posts 1-2 hours readi...

Re: Against Dale and Dale’s Bayesian analysis of the Book of Mormon – rough draft, looking for feedback
This response to Billy Spears by Bruce Dale is just cringe-inducing: ...The Bayesian method my son Brian and I applied in our Interpreter paper may indeed be the best choice among set of bad options. It may be the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry. But before it was published, that paper went thr...

Re: Did the Church "Bail Out" Interpreter with Tithing Money?
Something else quite telling in these Interpreter 990 forms is this: its mission statement uses the word "enemies." TO RESEARCH AND DESCRIBE THE RESTORATION OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AS REVEALED TO JOSEPH SMITH AND WITH QUALITY, FAITH PROMOTING SCHOLARSHIP BY PUBLISHING ON-LINE A JOURNAL FREE OF...

Re: Did the Church "Bail Out" Interpreter with Tithing Money?
Luckily, I received a pair of links recently from an "informant" which help to shed some light on the situation: namely, Interpreter's 2021 and 2022 tax documents. These documents show, very curiously, that rather than burning a hole in Interpreter's budget, Witnesses managed to somehow turn a prof...

Common consent middle finger?
Nelson was set apart before churchwide sustaining as president. People looked the other way because, hey, he’d already been sustained as PSR and all. It was established procedure. But now they’re calling and ordaining apostles before churchwide sustaining? Common consent, meet Nelson’s middle finger.

Russell M. Nelson: Time Mag Person of the Year
Not. It’s Taylor “Fu*k the Patriarchy” Swift, a talented artist who has done more to help women and girls feel validated, seen and powerful than all Mormon leaders combined. A very deserving honor indeed. Whether you are a fan of her music or not, it’s hard to argue her impact. https://time.com/6342...
