Chiasmus, Limericks and Haiku - Proofs and Spoofs of Holy Scripture

Professor John Welch of Joseph Smith University shares his life long devotion and study of chiasmus and limericks (see dictionary defintions below) with you. Professor Squelch has born a fervent testimony that the syntax and cadence of chiasmus and limericks proves beyond a shady doubt that the Bible, Book of Mormon, Pearl of High Price all come from the same source. Please submit any chiasmus, limericks haiku for Professor Welch's pleasure in the box below.

As of 011/09/2014 there are 218 limericks. As of 02/10/2009 there are 81 Haiku.

Chiasmus n: a placing crosswise, an inversion of the order of words or phrases, when repeated or subsequently referred to in a sentence; thus:

If e'er to bless thy sons My voice or hands deny, These hands let useful skill forsake, This voice in silence die. -- Dwight.

Limerick n : a humorous verse form of 5 anapestic lines with a rhyme scheme aabba.

Haiku n : an epigrammatic Japanese verse form of three short lines expressing a single feeling or impression and containing lines of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively.

Chiasmus and a History of the Ministry of Sophistry [aka FARMS]

01/19/2006 - by Iconoclast

The history of Chiasmus is so much a part of the history of the FARMS movement that I think that an argument can be made that Chiasmus is in fact the founding principle of FARMS.

FARMS was started as a private apologetic venture by John Welch, an attorney who is now a BYU professor. While on his mission Welch happened upon a lecture by a Hebrew scholar speaking to a German audience about Chiasmus being a form of ancient Hebrew literary parallelism.

The ever enthusiastic missionary was struck with an epiphany (revelation if you prefer) that if Chiasmus were in fact a part of ancient Hebrew literary form then certainly they could be found in that other source of ancient literary Hebrew scripture, the Book of Mormon.

Welch returned home and pursued an education which allowed him to follow-up on his newfound proof of the BoM. Eventually he wrote a paper (thesis?) on the subject. IIRC this was written in the language of his mission, German.

Welch found what he was looking for and Chiamus launched the current Mormon apologetic movement capturing the imagination of dozens of BYU intellectuals, hundreds of CES employees, and thousands of everyday members.

What happened is that all the closet doubters (especially those unable to express burning bosom testimonies) who had been a little suspicious or at least apprehensive about endorsing a literal interpretation of the BoM now had a new bone to chew on.

Egyptology as well as Old and New World history, archeology, anthropology, geography, geology, linguistics etc had lost traction and become dead ends as proof of the BoM. Nibley’s ramblings were becoming thread-bare to the point of embarrassment. But here was proof within the text itself that it was true. No illiterate 14 year old farm boy from New York in 1820 could have possibly known of such things or incorporated them into the BoM.

CES seminars, symposia, and lectures were held on the subject of Chiasmus. Institute Directors, Seminary teachers and ordinary sheep from around the world flocked to hear the anointed proclaim that their long-suffering faith was now vindicated by proof that the BoyProphet could not possibly have known about.

Books were written, speeches were delivered, and pamphlets were published. The membership soaked it up like a sponge. Through Seminary, an entire generation of youth became familiar with the ancient Hebrew literary device known as Chiasmus. Seminary students from the early nineties till today are as familiar with Chiasmus as they are with gold plates.

For probably 15 years the FARMS/FAIR types and their adherents have proclaimed this idea that gained currency as the most definitive proof of Joseph’s prophetic calling as a translator. Profits, Seers, Revelators and lesser mortals have stated in church published materials and elsewhere that such was the case.

Eventually someone discovered that Chaismus were indeed a hot topic in the early 1800’s not only in Joseph Smith’s time but also in his immediate local as evidenced in contemporary publications. So hot and so close that Joseph or whoever wrote the BoM could not have remained uninformed by it.

And what was the response from FARMS when they were caught?

[Quietly] Well of course. This was known all along. John Welch said as much back in 19?? when he published his original findings. It shouldn’t be necessary for us to point this out. You lesser mortals have just been too lazy to do your research on the subject.

For years they allowed this notion to influence the minds of the unsuspecting without doing anything to correct it. They are liars by omission as well as commission.

So, what we have is an organization founded by a con-man. It is then perpetuated by co-conspirators who are con-men. Supported by legions of dupes who carry its message to a massive flock of hungry, willing and mindless sheep. And when anyone calls them on their lies their response is “We have nothing to hide, The information was there all along. You should have made the effort to find it.”

Do we understand parallelisms now?

In the words of the sage Stray Mutt: “This represents a con-man’s contempt for his mark.”

The best thing that has ever been said about Chiasmus was indeed written by Dr. Shades and found in the next section. Dr. Shades is no mere mortal, given his ability to continue to play in that FARMS/FAIR sandbox on behalf of the rest of us)

The ABC's of Chiasmus

01/15/2006 - by Dr. Shades

A Hello friends,
B I am sure this
C topic has been debated
D before but I am really curious
E as to how antis have explained the discovery of chiasmus in the book of mormon.

e' I don't see how they could rationally explain it away
d' and I was wondering what excuses they give.
c' This may have all been debated
b' but I am new to this board and don't see how this doesn't authenticate the Book of Mormon very strongly.
a' Cheers.

That's how we anti's explain it.

Welch was rewarded with a position at the BYU Law School and FARMS was rewarded by being adopted by the church through BYU to become the Ministry of Sophistry. They answer the Big Questions now so that the leaders can continue to hide behind plausible deniability.

After being a devoted and enthusiastic FARMS supporter/subscriber and hopeful gospel scholar for more than 6 years I finally had to admit the obvious.

Providing hope for the desperate, FARMS is nothing more than the Mormon equivalent seeing the Virgin Mary in a 20-year-old grilled-cheese sandwich.

There once was a piece of 'sacred' ground,
Upon which stood a creepy compound,
Built there in Texas,
An LDS nexus,
Where sex drives were loosed and unbound.

Their strange little cult thus thrived,
Based on a lineage of doctrine contrived,
By a purv named Joe,
A few years ago,
Strange how his 'spirit' survived.

The world is aghast at the find,
Of children and women confined,
How could this exist?
Can this evil persist?
Who claims this religion so designed?

Cast your eyes to the land of the West,
To the city of the priesthood 'blessed'
There's your first clue
Section 132
And the doctrine extant but suppressed.

And in these revelations
We're just old men who otherwise
Would miss all these sensations

Our multi-purpose temple where
You can marry and consummate
Sure saves us all the trouble of
Spending time and money on dates

The boys we banish tell tall tales
Their memories are faulty
But in return for something sweet
I'll give you something salty

The women who leave are evil
Their stories can't be trusted
We've got a hundred pregnant teens
We're fixin' to get busted

We had our fun with captive women
Some would say it was a gas
Now I'm the bitch for 50 inmates
Who tap me in the ass

Ode to FARMS Geniuses

09/15/2006 - by Tal Bachman

There once was a marginalized pack of losers whose greatest contribution to mankind was their incidental ability to provide recovering Mormons with entertainment,

Their delusions led them to derangement.

09/15/2006 - by Tal Bachman

Ode to Packer

Ode to Mark E. Petersen, as told by Elder Petersen himself

09/15/2006 - by Tal Bachman

"The Mexicans, pygmies, and Jews,

"Just look at those faces -
"Inferior races!

Ode to Mormon Apologetic Tricks

09/15/2006 - by Tal Bachman

The point of their blust'ry attacks
Is always to obscure the facts
With hocus and pocus
They blur what's in focus
By using whatever distracts:

Pedantic notes, re-definitions
Insults, strategic omissions
Straw men, red herrings
Distortions so glaring
That ANYONE should have suspicions.

Yet when we're so keen on believing
And want to avoid ever leaving
It's like an addiction
We can't see the fiction
And enable them to keep deceiving

But once cog dis becomes a burden
So heavy it leaves us all hurtin'
We cannot avoid
Seeing tricks they've employed
To keep us all feeling so certain

So my message to Mormon apologists
Is: consult with a team of psychologists

BECAUSE

The BS pile you keep
Is so high and so deep
You've ended up virtual scatologists.
