Does anyone happen to have access to a mp3 of the expressions voices titled "Lance and the Mission President" I can find links, but they are all broken. If anyone happens to have a copy, I would appreciate it.

Apparently anyone employed less than 5 years is sol, and won't be getting a pension. The pyramid may be crumbling.

So, I came across this on FB http://timeglider.com/timeline/962856e2d593150e And I thought, "I wonder if any pre-1840 slang terms made it into the BOM, or d&c,etc..." So far, not that I can see, but still kind of funny.

I saw they are hosting a debate between John Larsen of Mormon expressions, and Jared Anderson. I have met John before, and attended and listened to his podcast, and I do enjoy his wit and I think it would be entertaining. But I have never been to a sunstone event. Has anyone here been, and what was your take on it. Also, in the interest of full disclosure my nephew who is in film school did the

I know of at least two cases on my mission. I think far more came out after the mission, and likely struggled during. I couldn't imagine as a heterosexual male being required to maintain 24 hour contract with a 19 year old female for 2 years and not have sexual relationships. Especially given the pressure to have and share intimate spiritual experiences, those emotions would definitely cross over

I'm reminded of a Michael McLain I think song that I heard ad nauseam on my mission (only approved music outside MoTab and Fresh Air ughh) where the lyrics very clearly state that some Mormon girl "grew up, got married to Bobby, and kept him working on his MBA" Maybe it's because Mormon women are trained to nag their spouses about getting MBAs if the husband fails to get it, then the

Why doesn't he ask god? People would lie about it, especially those who fell under the buffetings of Satan because of John's apostasy... god wouldn't.

When I left the church a number of family said that I had never had a testimony to begin with. Maybe he was never that to begin with? Just going along with it for the sake of family and community... J/K I suspect a faith promoting story.

I really thought Doug was pitching her a bunch of slow balls, and she was getting flustered, and couldn't provide a straight answer.

A story came across my news feed the other day that talked about Sigmund Freud, and his escape from Nazi Germany. He was allowed to leave, but was apparently required to sign a letter to the affect that he was not anti-Nazi, and was not leaving because of the actions of the Nazis. I was struck by how this seems to parallel the "you can leave the church, but you can't leave the church alon

They have made up their minds and are out. One of the families has 5 kids with one to be baptized this weekend. I think they are going to baptize because the child is already really excited, but they are done with the church. Anybody know of others?

In this latest purge. It would be so amazing if this affair could be called the lds John and Kate plus eight. Are there 8 out there who would be willing to participate in excommunication proceedings for the sake of a clever movement name?

I was thinking of developing a windows 8.1 app for the site, and it would be much easier if there were a RSS feed, or a RESTful service exposed. I couldn't find info on this, but is something like this available?
