Sunday Afternoon NOMference!!!

[lostinmiddlemormonism]

our look to the future is less sure...

if only we had someone who could see into the future...we could call them something like, I don't know...a prophet? seer? revelator? take your pic.

I don't want to be where oaks, packer, or bender are...

[MoPag]

He's keeping his homophobia very veiled in this talk.
-100

[lostinmiddlemormonism]

-100 for being an asshole

[moksha]

"They started the work with Homo Erectus (they were easy HeartSells) on the other side of the Veil and are working their way forward."

[Mormorrisey]

+5 for at least acknowledging people get their names removed. -50 for saying they just don't understand. Oh, they understand very well.

[græy]

So those who leave don't understand the things you laid out in your 15 minute talk?

I have heard all of that before! I understand it! I wanted it to be true! I believed it! You closed minded liar!

-1000 for oaks.

[blazerb]

That was tame for Oaks. All the bashing was in the subtext. Very passive aggressive.

[MoPag]

I can't find my "you're a crook Quinten Cook" meme

[lostinmiddlemormonism]

-50 for Rusty and Holland worship.

[græy]

Hahah... "profound" proclamation.

[moksha]

Cook did not mention being an unprincipled legal shyster as apostolic preparation.

[blazerb]

I can't find my "you're a crook Quinten Cook" meme

How much did he take from the public? That was tragic.

[AdmiralHoldo]

Wonder how Cook enunciates so clearly with his lips so firmly planted on so many elderly backsides.

[Newme]

We have to listen to Oaks again!!! What the hell?

Has anyone told him he talks like he’s talking to preschool children?

[MoPag]

-500 for not acknowledging the horrible racism that preceded that "revelation"

[nibbler]

I can't find my "you're a crook Quinten Cook" meme

This one?

[Mormorrisey]

-500 for not acknowledging the horrible racism that preceded that "revelation"

-100 for not noticing the misogyny about the previous endowment ceremony.

[AdmiralHoldo]

-10 for acting like lifting the priesthood ban was unanimous. Pretty sure that it's an open secret that SWK had to send our favorite dead racist, even Mark E, Peterson, on a "special assignment" out of the country so it would pass.

And the moment he starts talking to/about "those who have left," I have to invoke AdmiralHoldo's Rule 1: I don't take advice on faith crisis from anyone who hasn't experienced a faith crisis. I'm listening to some (gasp) secular music until this talk is over with.

[Newme]

Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
Of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards
Gloriously wave!
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines
From fair maidens' eyes.

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming
For the homeland again.

Wow! we culturally appropriated a Scottish song.

Mormonism is a series of borrowing.

[alas]

-50 for Rusty and Holland worship.

Oh, come on, name dropping that you were missionary companions and that you got revelation that he would be called and then that you yourself would be called is worth more than just -50. It isn’t just sucking up to them, but bragging about your own revelation. Give the braggart at least -150. 50 for sucking up and 100 for bragging about your righteousness and ability to receive revelation.
