Kenngo1969 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Retrospectives and lists of "Top 10s," most significant events, and so on are always big this time of year. Just for kicks, the other day, I went in and was looking at some old threads. I found the one about Tom Phillips, et al charging President Monson with fraud. That was probably my favorite thread of the year. It spawned what was, unquestionably, one of the most lively discussions this year. (It's hard to believe that almost a whole year has passed since that discussion!) My reason for nominating that thread is that a prophet of God being hailed into court is not something one sees every day. http://www.mormondialogue.org/topic/62767-president-monson-issued-a-court-summons-is-this-for-real/ What gets your vote for best discussion, liveliest, most interesting, et cetera, and why?

Duncan Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Not to derail but I thought Phillips was trying something new to embarrass the Church but I haven't heard what yet, anybody know?
bluebell Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Kate Kelly was definitely a dynamic topic this year.
Kenngo1969 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Not to derail but I thought Phillips was trying something new to embarrass the Church but I haven't heard what yet, anybody know?Beats me. If you see anything definitive, feel free to start a new thread.
Kenngo1969 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Kate Kelly was definitely a dynamic topic this year.Yep. See, e.g., here: http://www.mormondialogue.org/topic/63096-ordain-women-group-prohibited-from-protesting-on-church-property/page-13
Kenngo1969 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 It was if you were Mormon in the 1800's.That's true, but fortunately, it's much rarer today.
Scott Lloyd Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Not sure whether it's one of the better or more enlightening threads of the year, but this one, ruminating about the real meaning of apology and whether a person or entity can truly apologize for a wrong he or it did not commit, stands out in my memory. 1

I'll agree with you that all posts to that thread weren't created equal, but the usual high-value posters in that thread made their usual high-quality contributions.
Avatar4321 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I found the discussions on that one apostate whose name eludes me starting his own groups. But I think you guys covered the stuff well.
cesc101 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I found the discussions on that one apostate whose name eludes me starting his own groups. But I think you guys covered the stuff well. Would you by chance be referring to Denver Snuffer? I don't know if much was discussed about him on this board, but he sure earn a good discussion time on other boards. And boy, he was a RockStar!
Scott Lloyd Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks, Scott.

I'll resist the urge to ask whether I was one who fit in that category
