Your opponents Kebecer and the ladies from Wisconsin and Wyoming were very polite, even when they had you on the ropes you kept on swinging like a true believer. I think it was the Book of Abraham itself that let you down, not your grit and determination. You guys kept that thread going for over a thousand posts.Shulem wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 2:11 amI have to admit that in the end, I lost the argument and was astounded that I was unable to produce parallels and excuses in which to back up what I was saying. I actually lost that argument although my opponents did not know enough to nail me and hang me out to dry.

In announcing The World Table in 2013, Dr. Peterson said, “The World Table is a platform for a kind of new apologetics.”
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

I participated at TWT for several months. My rating was always substantially higher than the Mopologists. DCP and Kiwi57 were incapable of acting civil.Doctor Scratch wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 1:35 amHe wasn’t wrong. With its rating system, it provided a whole new level of transparency on Mopologetics’s effectiveness and popularity. As I recall, Dr. Peterson and Russell McGregor had the lowest ratings by far on the site. Of course, this was before the site administrators began demanding credit card statements as proof of identity.Tom wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 1:06 amI just learned that The World Table has ceased operations: https://worldtable.co/

Also, in addition to providing a scan of one of my utility bills, I also had to provide my cell phone number. TWT was hilarious. I’m sad to see it go.

I'm impressed that you participated in that forum. It sounded like a horrible idea to me, and I never even started the process of signing up. I am in awe of your dedication, Everybody Wang Chung.Everybody Wang Chung wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 1:36 amI participated at TWT for several months.

I think it was a recent development. The Salt Lake Tribune used the services of this LDS-run company up to the time the Tribune limited internet access to paying customers.

I don't. I was alerted to the news by a note on Public Square ("Due to World Table going out of business, our comment feature is not currently available"). Internet Archive has an archived World Table home page dated March 12, 2022.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 8:57 pmDoes anyone have a date for its demise?Tom wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 1:06 amI just learned that The World Table has ceased operations: https://worldtable.co/

I did the same thing Kish... I just watched it. From the gloating Peterson did about how open and wonderful and superior quality conversations that were going to take place there, I was rolling my eyes, so I just watched. And true to form, the Mopologists got mopped up.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 1:16 pmI'm impressed that you participated in that forum.
