Despite the fact that I would not be ashamed to keep company with Kevin Graham, for the record, I have never discussed the KEP with him in public or "behind the scenes." Apparently, Will, there is another believer who has questioned your conclusions. Me, I want nothing to do with the whole affair and that is the honest truth.

Good luck.

Hello Will,

I am more interested in the substantive discussions. In that spirit what scriptural or modern day prophetic voice do you rely on for your beliefs and attitudes towards "apostates". You obviously feel very strongly that your position is correct in this regard I am curious as to the exegetical reasoning of the authority you rely on?

my regards, mikwut

Must be Sam Brown or Don Bradley, then.

It really doesn't matter. I'm neither distracted nor intimidated, but I have no interest in responding to his silly accusations. Life's too short.

Will assumes that the only people who would dare question his "scholarship" are apostate lovers, thus explaining his ill-advised email to DCP.

Don't expect a response. He has nothing to hang his hat on save his own preferred agenda. In fact as I noted the scriptures and teachings by the GAs from the Church he attempts to defend condemn his behavior.

Edit: This is better catalogued on the other thread...

The person who sent me his/her concerns is someone I'd never heard of before, and I doubt anyone on this forum knows of him/her either.

Thank Jason,

I recall a conversation sometime back with Will, he analogized his treatment of doubters and apostates as one would treat someone near falling off a cliff, the need for yelling and emphatically emphasizing the direness of the situation was why his approach was appropriate but I couldn't recall any substantive authority for it. I would be interested in a substantive reply. Hope your well.

regards, mikwut

Dan is notorious for engaging in only the threads where he thinks he can score a point of some sort. He only picks the battles he only knows he can win, and stays silent on the rest. I think he is smart enough to know that he could never win by defending the character of William Schryver on a public forum. Not given the overwhelming amount of evidences presented here.

People warning others away from a cliff do not tell them, "I am really happy to see people like you fall off the cliff." Nor do they gleefully predict the collapse of others' marriages.

In short, he's not warning anyone.

You can justify anything from the scriptures:
Jesus whips the moneychangers.
Captain Moroni executes the kingmen for treason.
The Old Testament commands stoning apostates.
etc.

I think will's general strategy is actually to push them off the cliff and bray at them as they're falling.

That begs the question then, what good are the scriptures and GAs teachings?

I'm disappointed this thread and the others that resemble it continue to rage on with the same level of discourse.



can we at least, by all means, try and leave people who are not involved in this stuff out of it? Why are so many trying to drag other LDS in on this. I see no point in going appealling to Buffalo if SP does something that offends me (not that he has offended me). I don't see why this is happening to LDS folks. Can't Peterson just happily stay out of it if he wants and not be questioned for doing so?

He could. But he didn't. He got involved, at MD&D. Then he vanished before the discussion of it ended. Had Peterson remained out of it, he would not be questioned for having gotten involved.

Is the pilling-on working?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Thank you sock puppets Why Me and Quaker. It's always those others and what they do.

Pretty good.

Are you sure that a few more MDers and a few more threads expressing outrage against Will won't finally get the job done?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Maybe if they're done insincerely. ;)
