The Afore's X Rated Take On Joseph Smith

[Everybody Wang Chung]

I've never heard more filthy language from the Afore in my entire life. I've also never heard of this new theory about Joseph Smith.

*Warning* adult language:

LOL

I'm glad they bleeped out the bad language. It would've been taken down by YouTube otherwise!

I did not want to hear about the Church's advancement in Brainworm technology to promote member retention. Let the Utah delegates all support RFK Jr. in his confirmation and leave it at that!

Couple days ago I couldn't connect to this. Today I find the video, with caption:

"Daniel C. Peterson: Unnecessary Censorship. Purely for entertainment purposes and intending no ill-will. Just a fun take on Jimmy Kimmel's Unnecessary Censorship series -- Mormon style."

Oh well, perhaps humbug got deleted.

"How well do you think Skousen dealt with any dissonance he experienced when he discovers Smith incorrectly restored parts of the facsimiles. The standing figure in fac 1 was missing a head. Klaus Baer said there were no fibers in the glue where the head would have been. Smith simply copied the head of the reclining figure."

Do any of these thread- irrelevant claims rely upon federal funding?

"The Obsession board has regularly responded to any new apologetic material the Interpreter has raised."

No it hasn't. And, when it has, the responses have most commonly been no more substantive than mere howls of derisive laughter, sneers, personal attacks, and mockery. Other than you, perhaps, nobody is ever going to confuse the Obsession Board with a venue for academic discussion.

"The standard of contributions on the 'obsession' board have surpassed Sic."

You're entirely welcome, if that's your opinion, to devote your time entirely to the scholarly debates there. We'll wave you a sad but fond farewell and probably cry for a few minutes, but we'll survive somehow.

"Why don't directly respond to folks like Trevor Luke, physics guy?"

Trevor rarely if ever posts serious arguments there. I'm confident, for one thing, that he can tell the difference between the Obsession Board and an academic seminar. So can "Physics Guy," who is one of the few there who occasionally post worthwhile and substantive comments. "Physics Guy" doesn't know or understand quite as much about the Church as he imagines himself to do, and he's sometimes a bit overconfident -- in my judgment, he could profit (if he cared enough) by interacting with believing Latter-days who are experts in the fields that interest him -- but there have been a few of his posts that I've saved for myself as representing arguments that I should eventually address. Off hand, I can't really say that about any other cast members at the Obsession Board.

This thread’s video is the level of academic response that Interpreter deserves.

There are maybe 30 or 40 people who care what Interpreter publishes. No one outside a few dozen of Dan’s sycophants reads it regularly. It’s taken as seriously by non-LDS academics as a new issue of MAD Magazine.

The regular readers of Interpreter content are the regular writers of Interpreter content. It’s certainly a better way of spending your retirement years than serving a senior mission…right Dan?

It is so time-consuming finding and altering*** tangentially related quotes related to what Physics Guy has posted.


*** Got to do the alterations or Marcus will spot it.
