Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Man, you need to get a life. This is sad
Pot much? (The pot calling the kettle black)
Abinidai and the gang which followed in his footsteps needed to get a life too? King Noah and the Zoramites were the only true churches too.
Does having a life involve getting on the internet and telling people they need to get a life?
Let me see if I “reelly” understand these apologists: You are practicing Priest-craft if you are seeking and telling truth about religion, and it is NOT Priest-craft if you are lying for a lying church which is lying for “Christ.” Got it now. Thanks for clarifying that, apologists.
Now I understand the BoM even better. King Noah and the Zoramites were NOT practicing priest-craft. Now that’s further light and knowledge! Lie upon Lie, decept upon decept, here a little there a little…
The growing heap of deception eventually grows so high we can pay to climb to heaven on it (Not Priest-craft).
The 1832 First Vision account is still very suppressed to this day, as all 7 other suppressed vision versions contradicting each other and contradicting the official “vision” rather then adding to each other as claimed. Why does any church insist on keeping the obviously fraudulent account which contradicts the early history of the church?
The flock (sheeple) doesn’t realize that the official Vision Version (1838) is puffed up, changed and is thus very contradictory to historical facts and church teachings of the Godhead in the early 1830’s and earlier. The now official 1838 Vision Version contradicts the first BoM, BoC, LoF, etc..
The official First Vision Version (1838) simply proves itself a fraud with it’s own contradictions to documented LDS history in many ways. The bible does the same thing, changed over time by men with power and authority and thus it too contradicts itself historically and in doctrines and claimed “historical facts.
I never once recall a seminary teacher talking about any other versions of the first vision than the canonized version. My parents never talked about multiple versions in FHE. Never mentioned at any youth conference or in any aaronic priesthood meeting, or in elders quorum or by any bishop. No mention in the MTC, or by either of my two mission presidents. Somehow a 1970 article published somewhere proves the church leaders didn’t suppress the history. I unknowingly lied to people about what j.s. said he saw as a missionary because I didn’t find and read the 1970 article ? (I was born in 1970 and the church didn’t start publishing old article on the internet until around the late 2000’s). The old white men leading the church are still liars when they joke that there was no suppression. You didn’t hear them educate their audience on how difficult it was prior to the internet to access information. The kids in the audience laugh because they have no perspective, and the old men know this, so the deception continues…
oh man, the song at the end brings back memories. Loved that movie!!
Not only was different first vision accounts suppressed; when church members were asked how the church came about, the answer given into the 1880’s was an angel with plates. Early church members didn’t know or heard very little of a “first vision”. Funny thing that about the time the rumor gets out about a different account is just about the time the LDS church starts using the first vision in missionary efforts. Apologists like Dan Peterson must not believe in the mormon god or Joseph Smith as lying will gain one the glory of the Telestial kingdom. Check out D & C section 76.
