MNRU Poll of the Week (available only on Anchor)
How do you feel about John Dehlin and the Open Stories Foundation getting sued?
Chickens coming home to roost
Vindicated. John Dehlin is a big contrast to Joseph Smith, a great example for us who never got into ANY legal trouble
Anti-anti Mormon lies! Wait, does that make them true?
The Open Stories Foundation is the ultimate oxymoron
The Lord commanded Nephi to sign an NDA
So much for forgiving 70 times seven
