We had a number of guides and assistants in Hungary, Serbia, and Romania. Some of them were local and with us for only part of a day or for a day or two (or, in one case, for three), and some, also from Eastern Europe, were with us for the entire duration of the cruise and the after-cruise tour. Not one of them had anything positive to say about the years of Communist rule in their respective countries. Sometimes,... Read more

There is, so far as we humans are aware, nothing richer in the universe than personality. There is nothing so endlessly fascinating. It’s not just that “The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind.” (See here.). It’s not merely that the human brain is far more complicated and difficult to... Read more

The newest episode of Becoming Brigham went up on Monday morning. And are you really telling me that you haven’t watched it yet? Not even once? Well, happily, that problem can be easily remedied, at “Mud! Down Payment on an Exodus?— Becoming Brigham Episode 39” And the teaser or trailer for Episode 40 is already available: “Trailer for Ep. 40–The Price of Faith? The Fire of Covenant!” Please subscribe to Becoming Brigham. It will cost you nothing, but it... Read more

Last night, flipping through some of the television channels before flipping off the lights — an amazingly complex and initially baffling process in a weirdly designed ultramodern hotel room — I noticed an ad indicating that, a little bit later on, one channel was going to show Hotel Transylvania 2. Since we were staying in precisely such a hotel, that seemed oddly apt. But Becoming Brigham would still be preferable. We had an excellent bus guide yesterday and today,... Read more

A new installment of our short video-documentary series Becoming Brigham was posted this morning: “Mud! Down Payment on an Exodus?— Becoming Brigham Episode 39” For what it’s worth, I’ve also already been through the episode that will go up next week. It’s an unusually emotional one, and not merely in my opinion. Some critics will, no doubt, pronounce the emotion faked and manipulative—I hope not, but I have nearly a quarter of a century of experience now with the... Read more

There is often a considerable amount of anger and, shall we say, misunderstanding with regard to this issue. Jennifer Roach Lees actually knows something about the matter, and she has written a very helpful piece: “Analysis: How Latter-day Saint child protection policies actually work: Viral headlines often distort how child safety policies actually work. Here are the facts behind Latter-day Saint youth protection guidelines” Next week’s new installment of Becoming Brigham will go up tomorrow (Monday) morning. (Here is the... Read more

Yesterday, I didn’t finish my report about, well, yesterday. So I’ll take care of that right now: Following lunch, we had another excellent lecture from Nadia Kizenko. Then, yesterday afternoon, we docked for the night at Donji Milanovac, Serbia. From there, we drove via bus up to a hilltop farm, from which we had an excellent view of the Danube River below and where most of the folks on our bus enjoyed a tiny shot glass of the local...

A new article, written by Jeff Lindsay and Gale L. Pooley, went up today in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 70 (2026): 91-128 under the title ““Enough and to Spare”: Economic Data Vindicate Once-implausible Prophetic Statements”: Abstract: Despite frequently lacking material abundance in his life and living at a time when Malthusian concepts were becoming popular among intellectuals, Joseph Smith made a daring prophecy in 1834. He stated that God had designed the earth with... Read more

Yet another newly posted item has appeared from the never-changing and essentially dead Interpreter Foundation: “Trailer for Epis0de 39 — Mud! Down payment on an Exodus?” It lasts thirty-six (36) seconds, which is probably a manageable length even for busy readers of this blog:: Everywhere it’s mud and sickness, but unless Brigham Young and the Twelve can show they’re leaving Nauvoo, the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be “blown to the Seven Winds.” And be...

Have you watched our latest installment yet? It’s entitled “Sacrifice For What? — Becoming Brigham Episode 38.” In other, slightly related, news: I was absolutely delighted when the news — to me, quite unexpected — was announced that Brigham Young University would be launching a medical school, and I continue to be thrilled at new developments. Here are two of the most recent: “BYU’s School of Medicine takes major step forward, receives preliminary accreditation: The school is now authorized... Read more
