Since I started this blog some years ago, there has been the occasional week when I've had to stretch to come up with some Mormon-themed topic to write about. Then there are weeks like this one, when there's so much material I just can't decide. I almost wish I had one of those big roulette-style wheels I could spin and then go with the topic it lands on. Lacking that technology, I think I'll just list all the events, along with my brief commentary and let my readers decide which one carries the most interest. The LDS "Pro-Gay Rights" Press Conference On Tuesday Apostles Dallin Oaks and Jeffrey Holland, along with General Young Women's president, Sister Neill F. Marriott announced in a press conference that the LDS Church supports a state bill that protects LGBT rights, specifically in areas of employment, housing and public transportation. Why is this interesting? On the surface because it's unusual to see the LDS Church officially back any legislatio...

To: Abbottsville Fourth Ward From: Brother J. "Bull" Barton, Ward Preparedness Specialist Subject: Ward Preparedness Update In preparation for J ohn Dehlin's disciplinary council this Sunday , I am increasing the Ward Threat Level to RED . I have never met Dehlin personally, visited his website, or viewed any of his Mormon Stories podcasts. However, according to my research,  Mormon Stories  is a forum where disgruntled anti-Mormons promote their evil agenda of gay marriage, Ordain Women , evolution, so-called "life after Mormonism," mito-something-or-other DNA, and other whiny, subversive nonsense that only serves to undermine the straight, white patriarchal way of life the Brethren insist we know and love. In the event of this Tool of Satan's excommunication, and the inevitable rioting that will follow, all ward members are advised to lock your doors, board up your windows and brace yourselves for the onslaught of blood-thirsty feminists, gays, and intelle...

Romney's Base Urges Him to Run in 2016 The Salt Lake News -- published January 16, 2015 SALT LAKE CITY -- Excitement was high at the after-party for an LDS VIP screening of Meet the Mormons  this past Tuesday. Mitt Romney had recently announced that he was considering another run for the presidency -- and his loyal followers couldn't be more thrilled. "There's no doubt that the Brethren's inspired PR efforts have energized Romney's base," church spokesperson, Wilford Delacorte said, referring to the aforementioned feature-length documentary as well as the recent essay touting the prophet Joseph Smith's numerous accomplishments . "Now we're turning the time over to Mitt." It would appear that Republicans throughout Romney Country share Delacorte's enthusiasm. "We're on fire down here in Utah Valley," Delores Rudd, a Republican operative from Orem, declared. "He's our one and only true candidate." But GOP off...
