Whenever the prosecution brings up contact between Chad and Lori, JP explains it as normal, since they were lovers.Sorry, don't get it, can you explain?

Yeah. It's one of those phrases that people may hear differently based on their background.No, it's fine.
Prior is hammering this now. The D&C is a very long book of scripture. A few instances of one phrase appearing would not stick out in my head ever. In the same way it appearing in the Old Testament wouldn't necessarily stick out in my head either.
He realized that the witness was LDS and he isn't. It's probably a handicap in this case.Why did Prior drop the doctrine stuff so quickly? Was he just humoring Chad?
who have earned the highest level of exaltation.
Two things:"The Church of the Firstborn," was also the name of another LDS offshoot sect that existed from 1861-1969, which was notable for believing in reincarnation.
Too funny because when I was listening to the Blessing my thoughts ran right that way....I thought this sounds like one of Chad's awful books!Prior seems to be floundering, all over the place.
Implying the "blessing" was just Chad reading what he'd written for a book.
Back to doctrine. Whoops, now on to something else. I thought in trial attorneys were never supposed to ask a witness a question they didn't know the answer to.
It all started with Chad's visions. He "borrowed" the name of the church. Julie Rowe's right hand man Eric Smith (one time Chad's editor) wrote a book about the same church.Two things:
- Who told Chad he'd earned the highest level of exaltation?
- Did Chad think he was resurrecting the dead offshoot sect?
Of course JP would claim that. He must have used Chad as his source. Multiple probation became "probationary period".oooh, doctrine argument. Chad said something to Prior when he got up to cross. Prior saying all the dark/light/church of the firstborn/ multiple probations IS part of the LDS faith.
IMO, both can be asserted. It's totally different or 100% related.Okay, I thought I heard CD and LVD say they were going to lead a new Church and it was Church of the First Born. THanks for the info, wnk!
ETA: Judge thought it was a different church too
I couldn't for the life of me figure out if he was trying to show that CD's beliefs were part of LDS theology or were not.I have to say I am surprised at the seeming lack of LDS knowledge Prior exhibited today. Do you guys think he is acting or is it real? He can be a sly sneaky one so I am just wondering.
I would have to imagine if CD could muster any type of emotion at all, he would be angry at JP for getting so much of the vernacular wrong and basically belittling his Blessing of Alex.
He believes he is a prophet and God talks to him. I am assuming Chad exalted himself. Lol. What a liar! There are true Prophets of God. Chad is nothing.Two things:
- Who told Chad he'd earned the highest level of exaltation?
- Did Chad think he was resurrecting the dead offshoot sect?
I think it's an act. Like someone said several days ago, he is trying to project how difficult this all is for him in a David vs Goliath contest.I couldn't for the life of me figure out if he was trying to show that CD's beliefs were part of LDS theology or were not.
ETA: I don't know if it's just Prior's cadence, but all of these redirects just sound like he's really confused with the whole case and is hoping that the witnesses will help him figure out (and keep straight) what's going on. Is that the strategy, maybe? Giving this whole "Wow, isn't this so confusing? Who'da thought??" vibe so the jury will associate that confusion with CD. ("Neither my client nor I have no idea what's going on!") MOO.
