Ahhh, Gadianton, points up the need for TBMs to be in a Mormon coccoon when venturing beyond the protective confines of one's ward/stake/country. No need to risk exposing oneself to ideas that do not fit into his or her 'world view', as it were before the journey abroad. All just reassuring confirma...

Are Kishapoloozas concerts?

No, they were just me visiting Utah. Kind of underwhelming, I know, but we had a lot of fun getting together as a group.

Are there any plans germinating for a K-III?

KM does not accept that Ritner et al have nailed the Book of Abraham coffin shut. If he could get Ritner to go along with further "research", he will have effectively kicked the Book of Abraham can down the road for a few more years. Thus KM can say "well there is so much yet to look at, we just do...

I am saddened to hear about this. Although some of his posts with serial quotes and citations were TL;DR for my level of interest in a given topic, those about topics that I have sufficient interest in to read through always enlightened me with facts I did not know before that. It would be not only ...

Shulem, what are your thoughts on Joseph Smith's restoration of the parts of the outer ring missing from the hypocephalus? My thoughts in this regard are rather simple. First, I point out that Smith never attempted to formerly translate them in the Explanations but left that for some future day, "w...

The 116 pages do matter. Had God been behind their creation, the All Knowing could have easily reproduced them, grammar mistakes and misspellings and all. However, Joseph Smith needed an excuse for Martin Harris. Harris might, after all, have noticed that Joseph Smith (mere mortal that is not All Kn...

In his only oblique reference to Dr. Ritner, Dr. Muhlestein states that "the Book of Abraham doesn't rise or fall on my opinion or reputation, or on another scholar's opinion or reputation." 13.03 Correct. So Kerry’s Egyptology Ph.D. has no relevance either way. I believe this defense against Ritne...
