RE: [ZION] Canada: Your ignorance makes you look silly

2002-11-30 Thread Jim Cobabe

Our ignorance, we are informed, makes us look silly.  Ain't it the 
truth.

Have to accept this assertion about Stephen, I guess, since I have not 
met him in person, and can't really guess how his ignorance makes him 
look.  Perhaps he habitually wears clown makeup, with a white painted 
face and big red bulbous nose, orange fright wig.  That would certainly 
make him look silly, in most circumstances.

Interesting to consider this from another perspective, too.  If our 
ignorance makes us look silly, how does our enlightenment affect our 
appearance?  Are the two factors somehow antagonistic?  Does one somehow 
prove to be dominant and the other recessive?  Might be a good question 
for scientific inquiry.

About my own appearance--I've always been pretty much in agreement with 
the sentiment that I look silly.  Just seems to be my natural condition. 
 Never could quite pin it down to anything so specific as the ignorance 
factor.

A word of caution would seem to be in order, though.  Perhaps it would 
be appropriate to note that such invective issuing from Canada has a way 
of assuming an unwarranted degree of importance.

Of course, we could just dismiss the whole story as being simply 
figurative, merely symbolic.  :-)

[ZION] LDS Writer Expects to Be Excommunicated

2002-11-30 Thread Jim Cobabe

 Saturday, November 30, 2002 
  
 
BY PATTY HENETZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 

A graduate student at the University of Washington says he likely 
will be excommunicated next week for articles he has written questioning 
the validity of the Book of Mormon. 
Thomas W. Murphy, 35, wrote an article in the May 2002 Signature 
Books anthology American Apocrypha that used genetic data to discredit 
the Book of Mormon claim that American Indians are descendants of 
ancient Israel. The conclusion also is the thesis of his doctoral 
dissertation. 
"We're told to tell the truth, but not if the truth contradicts 
church doctrine. I would prefer to tell the truth," Murphy said. 
Lavina Fielding Anderson, who in 1993 was excommunicated along with 
several other historians, biblical scholars and amateur theologians, 
said Murphy is one of at least three scholars similarly threatened with 
expulsion or excommunicated in the past three months. 
"It's kind of deja vu, a repeat of things we've seen several times 
in the past," said Brent Metcalf, who edited the anthology. "This is it 
for Tom, I think." 
Murphy, chairman of the anthropology department at Edmonds Community 
College in Lynnwood, Wash., will face a church disciplinary council Dec. 
8. There, he will be allowed to make a statement and council members may 
try to change his mind about the Book of Mormon. 
He won't, because he has made it his quest to expose racism in the 
scriptures, starting with the teaching that American Indians are 
descendants of Middle Easterners known as Lamanites, the heathen 
antagonists in the Book of Mormon. 
Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is a history of the Americas 
beginning in 600 B.C. Scripture teaches that a group of Lamanites who 
decided to forgo violence and war became Christians -- and white. 
"That's racist," Murphy said. "If we present the Book of Mormon as 
the history of the Americas, the racist depictions of Lamanites hurt 
real people." 
He also objects to church teachings that dark skin is a curse from 
God. Murphy questioned the lack of minority representation in church 
leadership, the church's political campaigns against women's and 
homosexual rights and "the policy of excommunicating scholars who 
honestly confront problems with church history and doctrines." 
In a Tuesday e-mail to Signature Books, Anderson said the two other 
scholars under fire were hoping to avoid public exposure. "Such 
ecclesiastical actions are deeply distressing," she wrote. 
Anderson was excommunicated after she presented a history of 
ecclesiastical troubles between church leaders, scholars and feminists 
at a Sunstone conference on Mormon scholarship in 1992. 
   High-profile excommunications waned significantly after current 
church President Gordon B. Hinckley was ordained in 1995. 
   Dale Bills, church spokesman, declined to comment specifically on 
Murphy's case. 
"Matters of church discipline are handled on a confidential basis 
between church members and their local leaders. Local church leaders 
determine what, if any, disciplinary action is appropriate," Bills said. 

Trent Stevens, a professor of anatomy and embryology at Idaho State 
University in Pocatello, met Murphy two years ago when both were 
panelists at a Sunstone symposium looking at the Book of Mormon and 
science. 
He agrees with Murphy's genetics data that virtually all DNA samples 
so far analyzed link the genetic markers in the current Indian 
population with native Siberians. But he disagrees with what Murphy has 
concluded. 
The Book of Mormon, Stevens said, makes no claim that every American 
Indian descended from the original displaced Israelites. 
"Scientific evidence says that's not the case," Stevens said. But 
that doesn't mean the Book of Mormon is a fiction. 
"The issue is, it was stated by Joseph Smith that the Book of Mormon 
is the keystone of our religion," Stevens said. "So when you look at 
genetic and anthropological data regarding native Americans, and say the 
data prove the book is not of ancient origin, I would say that's grounds 
for excommunication." 
Murphy, who described himself as active in Mormon intellectual 
circles but not a regular churchgoer, said being excommunicated will 
hurt his relationship with his southern Idaho family, descendants of the 
first Mormon pioneers.

[ZION] I was afraid of this...

2002-11-30 Thread Marc A. Schindler
Saddam Hussein will, naturally, seize upon any excuse to discredit the
UN inspection team currently in his country. It's in his interest to do
so -- I think that's quite clear. He has in the past accused the former
team (rightly, as it turns out) of including people who were not true
inspectors, but spies, or at least inspectors who would pass on
non-inspection-related intelligence to western militaries. It looks like
someone -- no one seems to know who -- just couldn't resist the
temptation. A former USMC and Secret Service agent named Harvey "Jack"
McGeorge, has been shown to have no inspection credentials. Not only
that, but his personal "hobbies" are tailor-made to be forged into a
lightning rod for Saddam Hussein. How could they be so stupid? This team
has to be not only above-board, but has to avoid the appearance of
having spies in its midst, or it risks allowing Saddam to yank the moral
carpet (such as it is) out from under the U.S.

Here's a link to the article in the Washington Post. I'm posting this to
Zion-L and Eyring-L and to an acquaintance on LDS-Poll (I no longer
participate there in an attempt to cut down my Internet time because I
need more bedrest these days). So I have to point out to Zionisti that
this fellow's, er, hobby, consists of subjects the discussion of which
are very much against the charter of Zion-L. Please don't go to this
post if you're squeamish in that regard.

[ZION] 24-ha "arachnid homestead" in B.C.

2002-11-30 Thread Marc A. Schindler
Unfortunately I can't find an online link, and it wouldn't have the
spooky pictures anyway, but a 24-ha (60-acre) spider web (really a
collection of inter-connecting webs, of course) has been found on a
farmer's field near McBride, B.C., about 220 kilometres east of Prince
George, close to the Alberta border in a valley just west of the
Rockies. It was put together by untold millions of tiny black spiders
(Halorates ksenius), and the accompanying picture in our Edmonton
Journal looks like a bunch of teenagers or movie special effects people
were given too much rubber cement and went nuts on a fence and
surrounding shrubbery. It is really eerie looking!

Old joke from Gulf War I: "what movie is scaring Baghdad residents these
days? Iraqnaphobia, of course."

Re: [ZION] Can Anyone Become A Fully Qualified Member In Good Standing Af

2002-11-30 Thread vicgh25
As I have been reading this issue, the one thing that keeps coming to mind is that 
phrase: Judge not, lest ye be judged.

As I contemplate the numerous helpful tips being given, the one that it appears to me 
is so many people are trying to get God to renege on his agreement to that individual. 
Did this person go into the waters of baptism and was his sins forgiven? Did this 
individual repent of his sins? Sorry folks, but no one on this planet has the 
authority to go against Gods word. If I am forgiven of my sins because God has so 
indicated, no one has that authority to so no to God, no he hasn't. No bishop, stake 
president can take back what God has given, and that is forgiveness. period - end of 
sentance.

Re: [ZION] True Christians

2002-11-30 Thread Jon Spencer
If someone (a) takes on the name of Christ, and (b) keeps His commandments
which he has given them, then that person IMVHO is a true Christian.  They
may not have as many commandments given to them as we have, but then again
the Nephites didn't have all the commandments given to them that we have had
given to us, and neither has anyone else that I have a firm knowledge of.

Of course, I haven't read a "real" definition of a "True Christian" so I
guess we may each have our own.  But in any event, I am not going to go
around telling people that they are not "true" Christians, and I know that
you are not going to do that either.  I think that we will both do our best
to get as many of our Bros and Sisters to do all their own work, and not
leave it to someone else later on to complete.

I don't follow you. I don't have any clients, nor am I anybody else's client on

my email. Once, on a non-LDS list, a geography list on about.com moderated by a

He was wrong when he said it was a public statement -- he's never retracted that,
even after being shown that it wasn't a public statement. And it is illogical to
claim that because I disagree with someone's interpretation of a dictionary in use
in one particular country, that I therefore hold an idiosyncratic definition of my
own. Hello? There are far more anglophones outside the USA than inside the USA. I
explained the difference between Ducros and Fleischer. I have worked with
provincial counterparts of Ducros. I think I can speak on the basis of direct
experience. But Jim never acknowledged that either.

Well, you're the one who's used to being in the "keep 'em straight" saddle. How

So then, why do you bother including the disclaimer at the end of each 
of your posts?

Good point, duly noted.

Thanks for the kind words.

So then, the dictionary is only correct if it agrees with your personal

How true this is. Thanks again for more kind words.

No, I don't always follow the prophet's counsel and neither do I always
do what the Lord expects of me. I have my ups and downs and am not always
on the ball.

It's a wonder that the Lord is so gracious and kind in spite of my
rebellious spirit.

I'll bet I'm more rebellious than you Jon!  ;-)

Re: [ZION] True Christians

2002-11-30 Thread Paul Osborne
I agree with JWR in so much as a true Christian must be a baptized member
of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have a testimony
given by the Holy Ghost.
