That took a while and by the time I acheived it I had moved on and didn't feel a great need to explore Mormonism. Now it's become a little more pressing. I think the book I read at Mammoth Cave was a Watchtower book. I forget which one. My memory needs refreshing just like any other memory if perhaps less often.<BR/><BR/>bntzit is an interesting image for verification.Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803043142391446777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150516265721594132006-06-16T22:51:00.000-05:002006-06-16T22:51:00.000-05:00Strictly speaking it was four days in a row.Strictly speaking it was four days in a row.Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803043142391446777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150516057458986932006-06-16T22:47:00.000-05:002006-06-16T22:47:00.000-05:00Pasta, rice, or pizzaPasta, rice, or pizzaEveretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803043142391446777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150515006878351082006-06-16T22:30:00.000-05:002006-06-16T22:30:00.000-05:00Wow!

I read some of it, but not all, and I have no idea where it is now.<BR/><BR/>Mom didn't know I did it, but after I left, she got very upset with me. Seems the Mormons were coming by every few weeks looking for me, wanting to know if I'd read the book and what I thought. Finally, she gave them my phone number at the dorm.<BR/><BR/>I guess riding their bicycles to Sadieville was one thing, but all the way to Tennessee was another. Apparently, they passed my information to a Mormon group in Greeneville, and I began to get calls and visits to my dorm! It's a good thing I was involved in theatre productions and working at Hardee's at the time; eventually, they tired of never finding me at my dorm and stopped coming (I found this out from my RA).<BR/><BR/>Poor, poor Mormons. I'm sure they were disappointed that they never found me.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573195570934029465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150493403057842442006-06-16T16:30:00.000-05:002006-06-16T16:30:00.000-05:00I hope you notice that some of these women seem to...I hope you notice that some of these women seem to know what they are talking about! I'm pretty sure you had a book of Mormon at home. I used to think that was the one that gave you the heeby-jeebies when you were working at Mammoth Cave, but I believe you told me it was something else. If the hj's strike again, take that book back to the library.

(but i still like to call him john.) one of my friends who befriended the mormons was encouraged to do the same thing, and they were really suprised when she told them she got nothin. they said they had never heard of that happening before. so, if you do it, you can add another mark to our side. you can give a valid testimony.<BR/><BR/>also, here's a tip i once learned: pretty sure mormons proselitize in king james, so you might want to freshen up on that. some little mini courses i took on mormonism suggested that its teh only version they consider the true word of God. (you know, plus the extra book) <BR/><BR/>I thought you read the book of mormon when you were a teenager. i know you had one. did we get rid of that together? anyway, are you just trying to refresh your memory? (i didn't know yours worked like that. i thought it had a continuous flow.)<BR/><BR/>i'm looking forwards to Wednesdays With Bubby. i think it'd make a good sequel to that other book.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621915642420308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150476255383509972006-06-16T11:44:00.000-05:002006-06-16T11:44:00.000-05:00I'm so proud - he posted three days in a row!I'm so proud - he posted three days in a row!Jenn-Jenn, the Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850119465505660438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150473069243575472006-06-16T10:51:00.000-05:002006-06-16T10:51:00.000-05:00If you have Mormons on Wednesdays, does that mean ...If you have Mormons on Wednesdays, does that mean you have Catholics on Fridays?

The origin of Mormonism is fascinating, almost more so than $cientology. The LDS acknowledges that Joseph Smith was a washed up con man who happened to find the golden tablets of Moroni of his farm, but the basis of their belief that he was a prophet is founded on the idea that the tablets are too intricate to fake. Then you have the renouncement of polygamy for purely political purposes (so Utah could gain statehood) and the offshoot of the FLDS, which still practices polygamy, mainly with underage girls, and is thriving in Arizona. The amount of tax, welfare, and education fraud the Colorado City, AZ, FLDS has committed against the State of Arizona is calculated to a level rarely seen from any organized mass, and the state legislature, filled with ancestors from the original Mormon AZ founders, is reluctant to take action. It's a fascinating subject.<BR/><BR/>I have quite a few good Web sources on the FLDS and Mormonism. If you're interested, send me an email. After I faint from shock, I'll send you some links about the FLDS from a three-year investigation by Phoenix New Times, including information on the schism in 1890.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573195570934029465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26815321.post-1150470884875264342006-06-16T10:14:00.000-05:002006-06-16T10:14:00.000-05:00An arm wrestling match would be so unfair, though,...An arm wrestling match would be so unfair, though, as the Pope is usually pretty long in the tooth.
