Midgley points something out: DSiPT : Those "wonderful folks at FairMormon" do follow the Brethren, but that does not entail pausing distribution of Professor Gee's book. Why? There is no evidence that the Brethren had a thing to do with what has taken place. It is, however, possible that they might...

Given Sheri Dew’s position as head of Deseret Book and close friend and travelling companion of Mr & Mrs Nelson, you have to assume they are now complicit with the books removal, even if they weren’t to start with. The negative publicity it has attracted (for very good reason) means they know about...

Some interesting conversation in the "Comments" section of this posting: Removal from Deseret Book is proof the Brethren had the book removed. The Brethren run Deseret Book and the BoT runs BYU. I doubt very much that the Brethren were involved in this. So...who, then? "Middle management"? And why w...

Dr. Peterson: “[Dr. Gee’s] book has been effectively silenced and suppressed — at least temporarily.” It has? Strange that one can buy a copy of an effectively silenced and suppressed book through FairMormon and other outlets. The book will be effectively silenced and suppressed when the First Pres...

Indeed, Dean Robbers. You are very right to point out the censorship/banning of Dr. Shades, Moksha, Dr. Exiled, and even yourself, if I'm not mistaken. (Imagine: banning a *Dean*!) But here is another detail that I don't quite get: Why not publish it through "Interpreter"? Wouldn't that sidestep nea...

I'm sure that everyone by now has heard the news that John Gee's book, Saving Faith: How Families Protect, Sustain, and Encourage Faith , has been pulled from shelves . Unsurprisingly, the Mopologists aren't happy about this, and indeed, the the bellyaching continues apace : That brief sentence come...

Rest in peace, Grindael. I happened to catch a recent broadcast of the Interpreter radio program. Here are the most significant moments: Tom: I cannot thank you enough for bringing all of this to our attention. Very valuable. If I may, I'd like to comment on a few things... A guest notes that she a...

The two best parts of this (in my opinion) are: (1) the title, and (2) this passage: “Did you ever hear the joke about the folly of such arrogance? One man was ridiculing another who falsely called himself a philosopher; he called himself this not because he practiced true virtue, but because of van...

"If you are one of these selfish and irresponsible idiots, please stop it. If you know one of these selfish and irresponsible idiots, please tell him or her to stop it: “Large parties held in Provo as COVID-19 on the rise at BYU” There may be light at the end of the novel coronavirus tunnel, but we...

That's a good point, Mr. Stak. I'm reminded of the way that Owen and Mosser's "How Wide the Divide?" --published in the FARMS Review --was exploited repeatedly--mainly be DCP--as evidence that the Mopologists actually care about interfaith dialogue. Of course, in the same issue that "How Wide the Di...
