Translating time

I came across this paper from our friend Kathleen Flake yesterday. Not easy reading - Kathleen's one of the deeper people I know - but very interesting and a revealing view of the writings of Joseph Smith, both how and why they created a fundamental break from traditional Christianity and oriented his believers in a new narrative and theological construct.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In the interest of time tonight I could only read the first 3 pages. I will get back to it tomorrow night.

I did listen/watch all of Judd's presentation about the possibility (if not reality) of the many conspiricies in our market place.

How interesting that Kathleen's scholarship and research, Judd's evidence and conclusions are both aided and made possible by the rapid and haphazard leaps and bounds of the cyber world we now live in. Yet, even in this immence interactive world mass opinions can be led or misled by honest and dishonest men just as media of all sorts has done throughout history.

who has the power/who has the truth?
