  • Yes, poor Martha...didn't remember a thing until she spent hours of therapy and hypnotism. Of all Nibley's daughters, only Martha was abused, only Martha recalls anything. Alas, the only physical scars Martha is suffering are the ones between her ears! Boyd Peterson has done an admirable job defending Dr. Nibley from Nibley's demented daughter.

  • Yes, uh-huh, there's NO SUCH THING as molestation in the mormon church! He chooses this BS story about somebody else and doesn't address Martha's internal physical scars from HER abuse. LAME!

  • Ann Madsen, senior lecturer in the Department of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University, said the beauty of the scholar was that he was looking at everything he could find for truth, in the gospel and out of it.

  • PROVO, Utah -- Hugh Nibley may have done a lot of writing and lecturing, but he also did plenty of looking, too.

  • This guy was my freshman English professor this last semester. He still sounds about the same as in this lecture, but looks somehow cooler (he's lost the beard and goatee - it doesn't work so well for him)

    His was the first class that I really, really had to struggle in, and it was the most intensive that I've had for years.

    He's truly a great man.

  • My brother is a dissenter and it's impossible to ever get him to shut up about the LDS religion. If there weren't substance to the LDS faith, I think that my bro would just let it go. Maybe I'm wrong?

  • "Mormons silence dissenters"

    yet it is the dissenters that are trying to silence the Mormons!!

    great point!!

  • That has to be tough to see the man you love and call Dad and know very well being LIED about in such a treacherous way!

    My heart goes out!!

  • Boyd is also one of my alltime FAVORITES since he wrote that biography of Hugh. I also am on a few email lists with him, and I have always enjoyed his insights.
