I was wondering why no presentation regarding how it is somehow o.k. to hide the money from the members. But E. Kim B. Clark, emeritus GA, former dean of the Harvard Business School, will probably do so, at least obliquely.

Here's an example of a Bishop whose right to be alone with children they are advocating for.
Timothy James Hallows, 62, of Kaysville, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in an agreement with federal prosecutors. He admitted to having images of prepubescent children being sexually assaulted by adults on his cellphone and sending them to a woman in the Philippines last November.

Hallows faces up to 20 years in prison. A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled.

Hallows was bishop of the Wellington Ward in the Kaysville Utah Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was arrested in October and later charged with eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in 2nd District Court in Davis County.

Come on already Mormon Jesus, start inspiring your supposed leaders to not call these pedophiles to leadership. We know you love watching your investments grow and that is a full time job, but, the children, think of the children.

I see that Professor Muhlestein is giving a presentation titled "Egyptian Papers and the Translation of the Book of Abraham: What Careful Applications of the Evidence Can and Cannot Tell Us."

Is Professor Gee's presentation, "By the Numbers," devoted to his recent book or to responding to Cook and Smith?

Mark Ashurst-McGee has been added to the lineup: “Joseph Smith’s ‘New Translation’ of the Bible, His Use of Adam Clarke’s Bible Commentary, and the Question of Plagiarism.”

Is this^ addition to the line up a coincidence?

You have to wonder who is profiting off of this.
