Russia Blacklists Brigham Young University and German NGO as ‘Undesirable’
Russia added Brigham Young University and Germany’s Körber Foundation to its list of “undesirable” organizations, exposing anyone affiliated with them to potential criminal charges.
No explanation was provided by the Prosecutor General’s Office or the Justice Ministry for the designations, which were published on the ministry’s website on Monday. Both entities were officially blacklisted on April 29, according to the entries.
Didn't Will Schryver earn a degree from B.Y.U.? If so, it looks like his dream of being given honorary Russian citizenship for all his pro-Russia propaganda is at an end.
Has the Prophet Russell M. Nelson confirmed the location of the Russia Temple that he “announced” in 2018?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Did he?
I could be remembering wrong, but I didn't think he had any degrees. His FAIR bio doesn't mention a degree from BYU.

Which probably explains the whole thing. He wants to be worshipped and envied for his talents, but was unable to accomplish anything that got him into the club, let alone distinguish himself among club members. Extremism is the last option, the place anyone can go to get a pat on the back.
FARMS is partially at fault. His peers embraced all his worst impulses. They should have been straight with him and told him he had to get at least a masters if he wanted to accepted. Not sure he has the talent or discipline to accomplish that, but if he learned some discipline even if he tried and failed, it may have saved him from the worst.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.
I am not certain what connections he leveraged (probably DCP), but I recall he boasted about gaining access to the Kirtland Egyptian papers, which are restricted by the Church History Library. in my opinion the church got the short end of that arrangement, as his research didn't amount to anything.
