Tryk is not on the web?
If you are humor-impaired, leave immediately. This is not for the faint-of-heart, the thin-skinned, or especially humorless anti-Mormons.

Worst of the Anti-Mormon Web
I had some fun visiting Sandra Tanner's bookstore. I
let her know about the problems with her website. But
she clearly did not have a good idea of what is going
on there. And I don't think she understood exactly
what a secured server is. In any case I tried to
explain that Utah Lighthouse Ministries may be setting
themselves up for a lawsuit.
As Lou Midgley and I talked to Sandra about some other
things (Mike Quinn's homosexuality and his beef with
the Church and the Tanner's reliance on Quinn) Jerald
showed up and kicked us out of the bookstore. The
Tanner's love to brag that they don't kick anyone out.
If there is any interest in this at all, please let
me know and I will see about posting Lou's account of
the incident.
You will need to scroll down a bit to get the latest
gossip on Ed
Decker's health. I wonder what they could possibly
mean by "back to normal?"
Ed seems to have forgotten a few details in relating
his tale
of getting himself out of the Church. Not a
word about that ugly adultry incident.
I bet you haven't seen the Spalding Theory resurrected
for a while? Why "Dr." Walter Martin even
assures us that there is a second Spalding
manuscript around. Wow! Why not just admit that
the "second manuscript theory" was just
Hurlbutt's way of saving his pet theory when the manuscript
he turned up bore no resemblance to the Book of Mormon?
Anyway, here is a wonderful recitation of
problems
with the Book of Mormon. If you are wondering who
Dean Helland is, you can find a review of his dissertation
in Review of Books on the Book of Mormon volume 5, pp.
116-171. The review carries the felicitous title, "Playing
with Half a Decker: The Countercult Religious Tradition
Confronts the Book of Mormon."
