I kind of think that Gerrit Gong might be one of the picks. That way they can at least pretend that they are trying to be inclusive and support diversity. Wouldn't Elder Gong's higher IQ be a threat to other Quorum members? https://www.mormonnewsroom.se/media/400x400/First-Presidency1061-2018.JPG A...

As a youngster, I used to love the voices of both Andy Devine and Sterling Holloway.

Yeah, if only I could get THEM to do a podcast for me!

Relax, your own voice will do fine.

Just practice, Thelonius Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, successfully sifted thistles.

Is our spirituality best served when we focused on life in this world as opposed to otherworldliness?

Seems like the great commandments to love God and others could be served by this approach. What are your thoughts on this idea?

As Karl Marx said, "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". Jesus giving refuge from the pain of the world is something wonderful. That is why it is important to define Jesus not by religious...

Why did the brown seer stone fall out of favor and need to be replaced with something more devine? did you mean divine ? http://www.dictionary.com/browse/divine It would be okay with me if the replacement was Andy Devine , the beloved sidekick to Roy Rogers. http://azmusichalloffam.wwwssr15.supercp...

Simply having another adult in an adjacent room to listen in on the sex questions could double the amount of sexual titillation such questions provide depending on the other adult listening. Much better to just take any sexual interrogation off the table. Seems the only time such a practice might be...

I thought I might record a listener essay and submit it to IOT, just to see if I'm capable of that sort of thing.

I've read that acronym IOT (Internet of Things) before, but I thought it was a way to communicate with my toaster over the internet.

Really catchy tunes and beautiful singing seem rather NOM to me:

Did he mention this as an allegory of Mankind moving from a creature of instinct to a creature of sentience once the fruit of knowledge was acquired? If that was Denver's interpretation, then perhaps in a further sermon he will offer the explanation of God preferring the meat sacrifice of Abel to t...

Hagoth, I am very impressed with your tenacity and energy level. First your archeological studies and now your essays. Thumbs up!

BTW, have you considered making these into some podcasts?

In addition he spent some time recasting the whole parable of the Garden of Eden and the creation of man and woman in a way no one I know of has ever thought of.

The rumor is being investigated that Cambridge Analytica used targeted messages from Joseph L. Bishop to encourage Facebook Mormons to vote for Donald Trump, according to noted fact checker Paul H. Dunn.

I am thinking that the Church habit of "lying for the Lord" has nothing to do with the Lord and everything to do with covering their own butts.

Warning people that asking questions and looking for information will only make you unhappy, just follow what you know, and stay off Facebook, and all will be fine. Just trust us. Keep your head in the sand all day long, Wear you blinders with a heart full of song, For it to work; let no one smirk....

I turned to the Message Bible to more fully understand those two scriptures Raphael mentioned. The first one was Jesus specifically talking to Peter. "And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so ex...

What is that you want that the church isn't providing?

A rebirth of wonder.

My condolences to you and your family, Mad Jax.
