So I changed my plans on the fly at the last moment. The opening hymn was about loving neighbors and taking care of those in need, so I went with the "beggars" stuff from Mosiah 4.
I think it went well as many people were chatting me up after.

That's a long acronym that stands for Mormons With The Guts To Live Outside Utah. My understanding, by current bylaws, if you live in Utah, you can't join. |

That's too bad because there's this Jew I heard of somewhere in the state that I would like to read BOM scriptures to.

I have somehow become the "go to" person in the local Mormon community for this kind of thing. I sometimes will visit one of the local churches, I did an informative presentation on the Church at a local library, and I've had a radio show (and will be back on the air again shortly). I'm fairly high profile, I guess. Next month my own school is having a "faith week" and I've already been tapped to give a presentation on Mormonism.

Mike, this is just sad. You've lost it completely. Prescribe yourself some self-esteem and try to be happy.

Oh please, you Utah Mormons come over here and think you know everything and that the church is backwards, and that are kids are going to hell. We get to take a shot now and then. |
