Will be checking it for updates.<BR/><BR/>I have lots of facts about how Brandon Rehrer is such a hot head if you want to discuss that in a future post. Maybe we could collaborate.<BR/><BR/>Carson - you ever downtown during the day/workweek? Lunch on me?<BR/><BR/>Jon AndertonSeattle Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892043820666565464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-44952516283731284662007-07-25T11:03:00.000-07:002007-07-25T11:03:00.000-07:00Dang...it guess I didn't cut and paste incorrectly...Dang...it guess I didn't cut and paste incorrectly because it got cut off again. Add .pdf to the end and it will work. I don't know why it gets cut off when I paste it.<BR/><BR/>Also, future posts will be more positive than this one. I don't intend for this to be a negative blog, but did want to start w/ the disclaimer that positions need to be backed up.Carson Calderwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714621901178413233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-68009336387895462342007-07-24T17:14:00.000-07:002007-07-24T17:14:00.000-07:00Sorry, the link got cut off on the end.http://byus...Sorry, the link got cut off on the end.<BR/><BR/>http://byustudies.byu.edu/Shop/PDFSRC/39.3Robertson.pdfCarson Calderwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714621901178413233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-39307015044741989502007-07-24T16:26:00.000-07:002007-07-24T16:26:00.000-07:00I gleaned from here - http://byustudies.byu.edu/Sh...I gleaned from here - http://byustudies.byu.edu/Shop/PDFSRC/39.3Robertson.pdf<BR/><BR/>the following:<BR/><BR/>"Much has been written concerning Joseph Smith's candidacy, his intentions and his expectations of winning. Several different schools of thought have emerged."<BR/><BR/>In other words, there is no definitive explanation. It seems like there is a general consensus that one main motivation was to give the church (ie - missionary program) wider notoriety. Other opinions seem to vary all the way to trying to rule the world.Carson Calderwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714621901178413233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-30828898354310878582007-07-24T16:04:00.000-07:002007-07-24T16:04:00.000-07:00I would love to have the "token Mormon Democrat" p...I would love to have the "token Mormon Democrat" post his thoughts and comments ;)<BR/><BR/>I'll post more in a bit about Josephs run for presidency.Carson Calderwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714621901178413233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-85603103023759460742007-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:002007-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:00Why did Joseph Smith run for president or want to?...Why did Joseph Smith run for president or want to? Just a question that I have been thinking about, and I thought you may have some information. I will pick your brain for information now that you have started this blog. I agree with the need to document and verify, it is important to inform oneself as well. I will admit at times in my life I have not pursued church history with a great desire and accepted what others told me. However I do have questions and i dont have all the answers, nor do i need them all, but sometimes just a good discussion on a topic is needed. thanks and have a good day. brandonemilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256550341678942022noreply@blogger.com
