NOM

Thanks to all for paticipating and giving me periodic chuckles that lessened the angst. And to our beloved NOMference leader Mopag, I hope we quoted you over the weekend to your satisfaction!

Thanks to all!

I'll give Kearon 50, just relative to the drivel we've heard. It was a pleasant talk for a change.

That, and as Jana Riess found out in her research, the judgements of those same people.

My retirement funds are up in flames, the world is nuts, and reverence is what he focuses on? What is this?

-20 for the irrelevance of reverence.

I am conference'd out, but NOMference ready.

-250 for not understanding why people go inactive. A person can get closer to Christ by getting off the "covenant path" church leaders have laid out before them. Aaaand there it is. This was getting boring and Oaks put a stop to that. And -500 for telling people to trust in "God" which really means ...

Hey bishop! Hope you are well and not burning out!

At least this is not as bad as yesterday, it's just so freakin' dull. Let's see if Oaks can blow it up.

I agree - unfortunately the cure is more church nonsense. But I'll add 5 for at least trying.

Talks like this makes me think how many people say no to callings.

Pickle Dave is waaaay less entertaining than pickle Rick.

Here's to another round of "why do I do this to myself?"

Thank the baby Jesus for Mopag and NOMference to keep myself sane. And it was a dumpster fire yesterday, without a doubt.

Two more. Hopefully none are like this afternoon

Not a horrible talk, a step up for Todd D.

Just kind of boring this Rasband. Better than Raz Bandy, to quote nibbler.

Nope! But she was rather animated about it. I'll give her a +5 for a Jesus centered talk

It might make this more entertaining though - you seem to be having a better time.

Boy they are really trying to join mainstream Evagelicalism. To bad they won't let them in to their Jesus club.

Maybe you'll see angels on your rooftop!

Okay, I'm done. Hate to leave y'all, but this is just terrible nonsense from stem to stern. -5000 and bite me, Renlund.

Thanks again Mopag. Your suffering through this is a great sacrifice.
