The more I think about it, the more I see this as a real branding challenge. Listening right now, and the sound is slick and groovy, but that does not match with the rest of the presentation. This needs to be its own channel, not something under the banner of the staid FAIR: Faithful Answers, Inform...

Apparently in the same cynical spirit of “TITS” videos, but with soft lip smacking voices, FAIR has a new series that appears ready to tackle thorny issues by minimizing them, at least based on the title. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latter-day-saint-fair-cast/id397315546?i=1000649684109 T...

I see him now as more of a pioneer organizer, not a prophet. What did he prophesy? He held and taught false doctrines and incorporated them directly into the endowment for crying out loud. Prophet? No. A guy who kept a large group of people alive in the desert? Yes. But that doesn't make one a prop...

Why would she think it is a good idea to represent herself? The judge was patient as Kish said.

Maybe she was out of cash and credit to pay a lawyer.

Guessing where was a popular game; British Israelism was even a thing.

Aside from that, I'm an armchair lawyer and court junkie and her testimony was about the dullest, clueless damn thing I've ever heard, except for all the "sovereign citizens." But they can be quite entertaining at times despite their idiotic legal theories.

Absolutely nailed it.

I saw a funny quip. I guess a NYPD spokesperson or captain said something about how they must be getting training from somewhere to have learned to barricade themselves in so well. The person highlighting it pointed out that these kids first got trained by their elementary school teachers as part o...

Why on earth not?? I refer you back to my discussion of conflation and resemblance. And the significant resemblance is due to the fact that the latter was ripped off from the former. That is your assertion. It remains to be proven. Then why did Nehemiah King say it was Spalding's work instead of sa...

That's a perfect description of how to exercise bias against those one disagrees with, for no good reason other than one assumes they are inferior humans. Not really a rational position, unfortunately. Sure it’s rational. Go to the author to ask what they intended something in their book to mean. D...
