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.
If I heard right Brother Peterson mentioned Dialogue as a source of information he was familiar with. I found a site referring to an article by Stan Larson in Dialogue Summer 2014 called The Three Torn Pages.
Very good podcast. Thank you. I am glad someone is standing up to the misinformation and selective scholarship by Mormon apologists such as dan Peterson. I enjoy listening to RFM and I am glad he is not too busy to tackle these issues. Ha ha.
This has been so amusing at so many levels! what continues to amaze me is the way that so many in the church claim that there has been no suppression, which is nearly always followed by “…in the last 50 years.” Even that smug Dallin Oaks tried that in that youth fireside.
Well, as a member for over 60 years now, and a person that was a STRONG believing, McConkie-type mormon up until a few years ago, I can tell you that I really cannot recall any conversations where multiple first-vision accounts were discussed, let alone the “missing” account. It truly has been tap-danced around for those 50 years.
There must have been some fairly large blow up about that “find” in the late 60’s and 70’s, since it seems that the only articles or apparant discussion of this account that church leaders/apologists cite come from that era. I would love to see a comprehensive list of all church published/sanctioned articles on this first vision account. I can pretty much guarantee that there are precious few, and again, more likely from the 60’s and 70’s. And until the internet made all this information much more readily available, maybe a couple of articles in the last 10 years.
Yup, I have never robbed a bank…..until the last time I robbed a bank….maybe 50 years ago!
Danny Boy is one the more amusing figures in the church. I’ll just say I know people who work with Dan and they…tolerate him.
LDS.org suppresses information. A blatant example is the conference talk “Turning the Hearts” by Hartman Rector, Jr.
The text does not match the actual talk. Any reference to political issues has been removed, without notice, from the text but left in the video. Unless you listen and read together, you would not know the text has been changed. It’s very frustrating and leads me to not trust LDS.org as a source.
BOOM!
