I should have added this - the big debate within the big 15 is about the different offices in the Priesthood of Sara. There is will be one for the teenage girls, one for women and a third office reserved for the women who hold leadership offices much like Bishops are also a High Priest. A woman will not be allowed to ordain another woman. Only men are allowed to ordain a woman and only if t

Getting old is a bitch. The cricket noise I hear in my ears is pretty loud today. There is no longer any such thing as piece and quiet.

As you know my cousin Vinny writes the speeches for several of the General Authorites. I had dinner with him earlier this week and he told me he is writing the speeches now for the October General Conference. My cousin Vinny said he is having to create two different talks for a couple of the GA's he writes for. One is a standard type talk but the other one has him pissed off. The one that has

TSCC is moving forward with a pilot program to assign active LDS members to become social media friends with specific members and non active members. Once a connection has been made, the member is to respond at least weekly or more often to their assigned contacts and document the conversations. It is estimated this new inspired program will provide Bishops with the information necessary to r

I was given "called" the job of keeping a Stake Center cleaned for 15 months. The building had 4 wards (one was a Singles Ward for three Stakes) and the Stake Offices. It was a freaking nightmare trying to keep the building decent. The cheerios on the floor and in the pews from one meeting to the next was awful. The mothers room - shit diapers were always left in there and the smell

Rock and Roll Music Legend Chuck Berry passed away today. What are the odds his name will be dead dunked at a Mormon temple in a year from now? 100%, 99%, 98%. Perhaps at multiple temples. I expect there are some Lilly white Mormons that are just sure they are related enough to submit the paperwork to have Chuck Berry's name dead dunked.

One of the numbers TSCC uses for membership growth is children born to members. Recently we had a small reunion of the kids I went to Church with and it seems like over 50% had left the church. My sons keep in touch with their BIC friends from Church and the 50% number seems to be about right or a little low. If TSCC is losing 50%+ of their BIC members, and are losing from many different age

The great music legend Chuck Berry died today. He was 90 years old. I remember his songs were not allowed at our youth dances. Rock and Roll was Satan Music. We could listen to songs about cheating because they were Country. If you loved Chuck Berry's music - remember what a great artist he was. The Master of One.

The 1990's Temple Movie was HOT. I had just married my wife and people would stop me on the street, in the mall and ask if she was the new Eve in the new Temple Movie. I also said yes. Ha.

My sister used to work for Social Services. She told me they had to follow the approved Church regime of pray, read scriptures, confess, repent and pay tithing. Most pay tithing. These items were the solutions to all problems. If a Bishop asked about a patient, they had to keep the Bishop advised of the treatment and What the patient said even if it hurt the patient. If they did not follow the

The amount of money my cousin Vinny is paid for conference talks depends on several factors - is it for one of the big 15? How long it the talk? Which session of conference. My cousin Vinny does not like to write talks for the women (RS) speakers. The pay is much less for the women speakers. How well the talk is given and received has a lot to do with the final amount my cousin Vinny is paid

Mormon girls - I was given the cold shoulder because I was from the poor side of town (literally). After high school I started hanging out with the really rich kids and dated several beauties. No joke - I went out with the first runner up Miss Texas World. I dated a girl whose father invented the monorail (the one at Disneyland). Several girls dad's where famous doctor's.

The $600,000 is based on what he will receive for the books he has written and a GA put their name on it. He gets paid very well for each talk. He has to custom write each talk for the GA giving it and no talk can sound similar (like the same person wrote it). My cousin Vinny is working on the October talks.

My sister was raped at work by her boss. My parents take her to the Bishop for counseling. The Bishop required my sister to do all the repentance shit. He treated her as if she was guilty of wanting to sin. This is SOP for the church. Do not tell them anything. You will not get any support. They will treat you like shit.

My cousin Vinny is an LDS ghost writer. He makes his living by writing the talks several of the GA's give as their own. We had lunch the other day and he told me three of the talks that will be given during April Conference are his. The theme of the conference is going to be reclaiming those who have left the Church. My cousin Vinny said the GA's believe the ROI from returning members will b

So this TBM is spouting off on a social media site. I asked him to explain what he meant about the earth is only 6,000 years old and gets all defensive and refuses to explain his statements. Then he starts calling me names and accusing me of stuff as some kind of righteous defense. The real kicker is then he starts posting what a great job he did defending the church.

Just today I read a post on Facebook a TBM wrote about how his new wife is his eternal soulmate, etc. She is sending me messages about what a total and complete jerk he is, how she cannot stand him and is going to divorce him.
