Scott Lloyd Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 For the first time in many years, I missed the FairMormon Conference. Ive not seen much in the way of summaries of any of the presentations given at the conference. I’m wondering if any here who attended the conference would mind posting one or two highlights for discussion. 1 Link to comment

Calm Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Several transcripts are already up. Iirc, the video for Elder Christensen is permanent. Edited August 17, 2019 by Calm 2 Link to comment
Damien the Leper Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) 1) The consensus on Hill Cumorah is that it is actually in central park. 2) The BoM was originally written in Coptic and not reformed Egyptian. 3) Alma 30 is the best apologia in the entire book. 4) Jacob 5 needs sub headings and notes for dummies (like myself). 5) JS spirit has been seen lurking at Church of the Holy Sepulchre and taking communion. 6) Jesus affirms that partaking of pneumatic presence communion is a mortal sin. 7) Sidney Rigdon has been reinstated to the College of Past LDS Apostles. 8. Lucy Mack Smith still makes the best pies. Eat your heart out Marie Calender. You're welcome, Scott!! Edited August 17, 2019 by Valentinus 3 Link to comment

The one by Don Bradley sounds very intriguing suggesting that the First Vision was an actual ascent to heaven of a sort. Link to comment

I’m Facebook friends with Don, and I do recall a Facebook posting from him to that effect. Yes, it was very intriguing indeed. It made me wonder if Joseph experienced something akin to what Nephi or John the Revelator did. Edited August 18, 2019 by Scott Lloyd Link to comment
Stargazer Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Tonight I purchased the right to stream the conference and have watched the first and last talks. Both bear repeated viewing imho. Link to comment

I'm very interested in this talk, I might need to fork over my $ to buy the streaming video. Link to comment
