Further complicating the situation is that it is unknown whether any of the terminology and ritual dialogue patterns that are similar in Freemasonry and the temple ordinances were originally part of the endowment as given by Joseph Smith in the Red Brick Store or were introduced later as part of the revisions and standardization that occurred under the direction of Brigham Young.[3]

Is that not a distinction without a difference?

Of course, there is the little matter of some of that dialogue showing up in an account of the contents of the 116 lost pages.

It’s seeming more and more like this is an attempt to rescue Bradshaw’s damaged reputation. But the fact remains that he essentially “stole” material so that he could write his own book. And if memory serves, the accounts from Bruno, Ericsson, and others don’t really square with Bradshaw’s portrayal of what happened.

Yes, if Bradshaw really did give her ample warning that he was using her book to complete his own in time for the publication date of hers, then I can't imagine her or Loyd not being upset about it. It really is so obviously a dick move, as it were. He wants to portray this as a big happy cooperating family when in fact there is good reason to believe that is not the case at all.

Indeed. It’s fitting that Interpreter’s next film will focus on Brigham Young, who once said, famously:
We have the greatest and smoothest liars in the world, the cunninest and most adroit thieves, and any other shade of character that you can mention.

I think tomorrow’s Backyard Professor show where Cheryl Bruno and Nick Liturski spill the beans may be “Must Watch TV.”
