+10 for no RMN quote

I wonder if Russ will quote himself before Conference is over. “As I have said before…” RMN

Reminds me of the wisdom of Thomas Pynchon, “If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers.”

So with all the protests against the masks, Utah rather sucks with getting vaccines in people's arms. According to John Hobkins University's tracker, as of 3-3-21, Utah, ranks #42 out of 50 states for full vaccination. A meer 2.84% of the population had had the complete round of shots. Considering ...

I agree with many of the “I miss...” above. I would also add Meilingkie to it. His stories were always interesting to me. I miss his candor and boldness.

Ho Lee Turtle, what changes were made to the entry on the Catholic Church between the 1958 and 1966 editions? You are probably referring to the entry that most people think about which is actually the "Church of the Devil" entry: It's hard to create the post to show the changes side by side like ...

Here is an example from Dye’s book of a change that makes me smile. 1958 version: CARD PLAYING To the extent that church members play cards they are in apostasy and rebellion. 1966 version: CARD PLAYING To the extent that church members play cards they are out of harmony with their inspired leaders.

I have access to a copy (1st edition, 1st printing). If there is something specific you want me to pull up for you, let me know. I also have later editions and printings as well. The best resource for seeing the difference between the 1958 first edition and the 1966 second edition is a book by David ...

I hope no one gets those yellow shirts confused with the Southern Baptist Disaster relief teams. :) I’ve worked with their groups on service projects before and they are well organized and terrific to work with. They are very genuine and do a lot to help others in their times of real need. https:/ ...

Anyone know where I can get a mask with little tapirs on it? I might go back if I had one like that to wear.

Any other ideas for a NOM themed mask to help us recognize each other out there in the wild when, or if, we are forced back to the flock?

And the translation is...

“Hello /h/ah/g/oh/t/h/, this Deseret Alphabet is some pretty kooky stuff o' even for a peculiar people.”


Good thing I have my own rock and top hat, and it works!!

I have known people who refused to take any aspirin that contained caffeine. On the other hand, I have known Mormons who thought nothing of taking no-doze when studying for a test or driving long distance. They looked down on their roommates who drank coffee for the all night study sessions, but ...

And it came to pass, I discovered the truth wasn’t written upon golden plates.

By calling it BYU, the “Y”, or even Brigham Young University, we are giving Satan another victory. We need to return to the name originally given by the Lord, to the prophet, and refer to it as, Even the Brigham Young Academy. This pleases the founder. On an interesting side note, Young broke the sch ...

I was told that there are some foreign countries that will only allow missionaries to preach publicly that have completed a seminary training program before they can be religious ministers in their country. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but does make some sense. Little do they realize that LDS se ...

Just to help Hathaway and Oaks out here, here are a few other labels that we probably shouldn’t use. 1. We don’t say someone is a “full tithe payer”, we say that person who is financing the ETCOJCOLDS 2. We don’t say someone is a “partial tithe payer”, we say that person still has to compromise their ...

I sure wish they would have clarified which mild barley drinks are good for us; I wouldn’t want any youth thinking that a mild barley drink (aka 3.2 beer) is actually listed as being approved there in verse 17. Guess it’s best to just keep the youth drinking all those Red Bull’s, Rockstars, and Monst ...

How about a essay on the garment? It could answer such controversial mysteries as; 1. How it came to exist and it’s true purpose in ETCOJCOLDS religion 2. What Joseph meant when he said it was exactly as God revealed after the sewing sisters made several attempts to get it right and then he declared ...

I think we should have a small key chain made in the shape of a kinder hook plate with an impression of a tapir on one side and the words “new order Mormon” in the Deseret alphabet on the reverse side. People could use it for their keys, as a zipper pull, hang it from the rear view mirror, or as a da ...

Ah this new “defining doctrine” needs some apocryphal stories now to support it. My great grandfather attended the game and while he was passing by the locker room one of the players on the winning team gave him their game jersey. After that, any time a family member touched the jersey before pla ...
