** #127 Alma 10: Morgy ** :: You gotta have food at the Morgy :: Alma 10 prompts Gigi to ask AI what a Mormon orgy would look like. Benjamin confirms that you definitely need food at an orgy. And Patience has her mind blown when she learns that shredded carrot can be put in jello to make a salad. Smitty gives lawyers a hard time in this chapter, so we have 2 lawyers-in-recovery to serve it back to him! Sister Gigi felt prompted by the Spirit to write a poem after learning what a morgy might look like: :: Morgy :: | This now lives | in my mind rent free | thanks a lot | Chat GPT. | | Things I cannot | now unsee. | Thanks a lot | Chat GPT. Upon hearing the episode before it's official release, Brother Jones commented: "Ferrets, not weasels. Acid, not mushrooms." If anyone wants the full story, it was episode "#074 Melting Room, Angry Ferrets" where we read the only chapter of Omni. https://bookofboredom.com/episodes/2022-06-09/ Also, if anyone else is just like Sister Gigi and wants to know more about Brother Benjamin's life, go check out the podcast he does with his friend Lauren that we briefly referenced. It's called "The Examined Lives (ENM Vibes)" podcast. Mormonism comes up frequently during the first season of it. https://pod.link/1767688018 #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #124 Alma 8: Amulek breaks Alma's fast (and his back) ** :: Y'all get sleeveless garments for Xmas! So sell your sleeved garments on Depop? :: People try to make maps of the stories from the Bible and the Book of Mormon. But there's a difference. Smitty doesn't use real place names. So don't bother trying to picture any of the travels in Alma 8. Even true believers draw half-hearted squiggles. :: Apart from Alma 8, we discuss: :: In the last LDS General Conference, "Temporary Commands" were introduced as a way to explain away inconsistencies in Mormon revelation. Sister Patience thinks that's a new way to make your head explode. The LDS Church is buying up truckloads of land in Australia. So much in fact it may trigger a law change on how much land can be purchased in one go by a foreign entity. Brother Jones and Sister Patience imagine what a Hypercolor Graphic Novel edition of the Book of Mormon might be like. Sister Patience discovers a 70 person town in the center of Australa comprised entirely of Mormons: Mulga Bore. The air in Salt Lake City sucks right now because of a high-pressure system trapping all the temple dust (among other pullutants). Mouse (the ironically named massive dog) still drags Brother Jones outside for a walk. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #122 Roasting Saints 24: Old Steve Harper Had A Farm ** :: Oh no no no no! :: Today Brother Jones and Sister Patience mock episode 24 of the LDS "Saints" podcast, where Ben and Sarah are joined by church bigwig Steve Harper. A man with a smoothly deep and condescending voice, that could so easily be smoothly deep and sexy if he wasn't a Mormon. Steve talks so confidently about things that don't make sense, and Ben and Sarah think it's fantastic. And in an alternate universe they probably would have blown him straight after the recording. :: Highlights: :: "Porn Shoulders" and their origin story. Brother Jones sings an improved version of the Christian Chorus classic: "Our God is an Awesome God". The daily allowance of the word "cunt" is exceeded. Joseph Smith makes a dis-track. BYU prepares to open a medical school, and the memes roll in. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #114 Roasting Saints 20: Nibble Nobby's Nibley ** :: Before Smitty Nibbles Yours :: In episode 20 of the LDS Saints podcast, we are presented with the Kirtland Safety Society. A bank that Smitty false prophesied would become the biggest swinging dick around, and eat all competitor cocks (banks). Nothing went right with this venture, and many unfollowed him on X (formely known as Twitter). Yet, Smitty was so charismatic, he still managed to have his first extra-marital affair, that he justified with a secret marriage. Why secret? I guess God thought that was an excellent way to show his people the example they should follow. Hang-on, that doesn't make sense. Maybe it was just easier than divorcing his legal wife Emma? Or maybe this never happened? Or maybe the truth is in between? For a cult that prides itself on being the "Standard for Truth" (see the title for episode 1 of Saints), why is the truth so full of bullshit? If all that seems like a faith shattering downer for any God fearing Mormon (because it is), the hosts of Saints add a little saccharine in the form of all the "miracles" happening overseas. And by "miracles" they mean "converts to Mormonism". These aren't miracles, just bad ideas spreading. Like so much of human history. :: Mormon News Discussed: :: Apostle M. Russel Ballard died at age 95. And we were only just talking about him on the last episode! Rusty appointed a new apostle to take Ballard's place - Patrick Kearon. Poor fucker. That guy now has no agency in his life until he dies. :: Brother Jones teaches Sister Patience about: :: The fun times that can be had with initials and apostle names. The Fallout-style vault where the LDS church keeps all it's most precious records. It's at 6279 Little Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Unfortunately, there isn't a good Google street view of the facility because the road past the gate is private property. How early European converts were lied to and enticed to move to the US, to work for the cult in various ways, with little hope of upward mobility. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #109 Mosiah 26: Welcome to Insane Peaks ** :: Total Assets $1,000,000 ($38,000,000,000) :: Brother Jones and Sister Patience blaze through a chapter, best described in the Book of Boredom group chat: "Jones and I just read 39 verses of some of the most boring bits of this entire shitty thing. WELL DONE JONES! We're nearly half way thru the BOM!" ~ Patience :: What is this chapter like? :: This chapter is like calling a contact-centre, and being redirected 5 times before the line finally drops, with no solution. This chapter is a bleeding example of the waste inherant in collectivism. This chapter is a game of "Pass the Parcel". This chapter is an example of how to hold a religious inqusition where no one dies. So, "yay!" for "no murder"! That's one small step for Smitty. This chapter mirrors modern day Mormon excommunication practices. Gee, I wonder where they got it from. Smitty just took 2 steps back. :: Other key points: :: Two true stories, where bad ideas from religion resulted in OCD, or OCD-like symptoms. Trump makes his way into 26:25. The church built a MODULAR TEMPLE! Ahaha. Tell your faithful Mormon parents about the Gospel Topic Essays. It's a mitzvah for their brain health! They will cause so much brain activity, that Alzheimers will be staved off by at least a decade! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #105 Mosiah 20-21: The burgers are better at McTemples! ** :: And behold also there was a General Conference! :: Brother Jones and Sister Patience have some fun with the gaffes from the April 2023 LDS General Conference, then proceed to read Mosiah 20 and 21. :: A few of the stupidities: :: Smitty gets carried away with his "beholds" in 20:19. And behold, it was hilarious. The Book of Mormon is a (shitty) fantasy novel, so it's only fitting that Smitty refers to fighting like "dragons" in 20:11. However, he also forgot that his story is not just fantasy, but also fan-fiction of an earlier work: The Bible. And in so doing, created continuity issues with a beast God never created. The "Flirt to Convert - Convert to Marry - Marry to Fuck" pipeline. The anti-ASMR of gulping down Smitty's horseshit.

** #096 Mosiah 11: WTF is Ziff? ** :: The Excitment of Dead Action Role Play in Mormon Temples :: Brother Jones tells about a new "big fuck-all temple" being built near him, lit up at night with what sounds like a headache inducing amount of light. Brother Benjamin and Brother Jones recall their personal experiences in Mormon temples. Jones specifically tells how when LARPing in a temple for the deceased (or is that DARPing?), the rituals are completed in sections, and done in batches. and the LARP includes sitting through a 3 hour video in one part! Sister Gigi asks ChatGPT3 to improve The Book of Mormon. And, no surprises... It does! Joseph Smith visits his iniquities. And the team try to work out what "ziff" is (Mosiah 11 verses 3 and 8). #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #092 Mosiah 9 Isn't Fine ** :: Joseph Smith makes us seasick as he jumps around in time. :: Smitty decides to go back and tell us another implausible story about Zeniff: a man who still seems to get lost in the wilderness after being lost in the same wilderness before. What a leader. Brother Jones and Sister Patience discuss Karianne Lisonbee, the Utah House Rep (and Mormon) who trusts women (to limit their intake of semen). Something she never did as she polluted the world with her 6 homeschooled spawn. https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2022/11/10/heres-who-utah-senate-democrats/ We get some figures to backup Prophet Nelson's Potempkin Temples: he's announced 118, only 2 of those are open. https://www.deseret.com/faith/2022/11/6/23411363/how-many-lds-mormon-church-temples-announced-by-president-nelson-open/ El-duhhh Christofferson wants the believers to pump their spiritual muscles, and try really HARD not to read the entire article as a euphemism. https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders/2022/10/27/23426589/elder-christofferson-ysa-devotional-cedar-city-institute-muscular-christians/ Rusty says "We will build temples.

** #090 Mosiah 8: Lesbian Wedding Cake ** :: Lost in a land which had been peopled with a err... people. :: Brother Jones and Sister Patience tackle crunchy Mormon related news stories. Then they relax with the silliness of Mosiah 8. How did Joseph Smith not feel embarrassed, with the conspicuous way he wrote himself into this chapter? Astounding! :: Highlights :: Should horrible people be allowed to be horrible if they're not hurting anyone? The Hilarious Modern Mormon Myopia with Monogamy. Hmmmm. Brother Jones tells how he met Jesus (well, the actor that played him anyway...) Smitty warns his followers to stop trying to play with his "interpreters". #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #086 Christianese Proto-Waffle ** :: And it came to pass that Genetics says nayyyyy :: Brother Jones makes some shitty waffles. Smitty narrates his character of King Benjamin waffling-on, like a drunk telling a disorganised story recursively. I wonder why? We discuss the Founder Effect: the loss of genetic variation observable in isolated people groups established by very few "founders". Because they are isolated, the groups receive little or no new genetic information over time, from the larger population they are isolated from. The term is often used when the isolating factor is geographical, but the effect holds true when the reason is social (including religious). Infamously obvious in the birth defects of inbred royal families, such as the Habsburgs of the middle-ages. Much less pronounced, the effect has been cited as the cause of skeletal birth anomalies amongst the Amish of the United States. And as we discuss, the founder effect created by ye olde polygamous Mormon families cannot be doing anything good for their health. Especially when young men have a tendency to be excommunicated, and patriarchs collect wives like they are trapping Pokemon. :: Other High or Low lights: :: Jesus gives the best head (Mosiah 5:8). The dire consequences for amnesia (Mosiah 5:9-12). Smitty doesn't remember the 70000 Israelis that died the last time a Jewish king tried to take a census (2 Samuel 24), and narrates his King Benji character taking a roll call (Mosiah 6:1). King Benji remembers the people had houses after keeping them impractically in tents for no reason (Mosiah 6:3). #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
** #083 Roasting Saints 11: In the Morridor... ** :: ...there is evil that does not sleep :: In the early years of the land of small government, Mormonism is so toxic, that the government steps in and tells the door-to-door Mormon salesmen to fuck all the way off. Oh, and so does Abigail Williams! Smitty rides into town, swinging his massive dick around, and Sidney Rigdon knows he can't measure up. So he puts his member away, and hands his members over to Smitty. :: Other Discussions: :: C'mon lawyers, get those class action suits against the LDS corporation in, help compensate victims, and let's bankrupt this mofo. Arizona: the crotch of Utah. The Morridor: a column of land choc-full of Mormons from Rexburg in Idaho, to Phoenix in Arizona. There is wickedness there that does not sleep.

And the Liahona makes a comeback, but Smitty hasn't named it yet, so it sounds really stupid. :: Other Riveting Banter: :: Things that are NOT the responsibility of politicians.

** #074 Melting Room, Angry Ferrets ** :: Omni 1 :: Smitty triple-downs on the whole Arabs in ancient America thing. We buy a vowel and meet Coriantumr, a dating app for coriander lovers. God makes the people of Zarahemla "chink" into rock rather than fancy metal, which is at least more durable than the silly gold the Nephites were using. The people of Zarahemla breed like tribbles (impossible) and become numerous. Sister Gigi gets sprayed by a skunk who's diet included, "a hellish kind of basil grown by Satan himself".

** #072 Holland and Oaks try to save England ** :: Jarom 1 :: So Enos (pronounced like "penis"), spawned Jarom (pronounced like "share 'em"). Smitty knew he had to skip some centuries in his silly story, and Jarom was another of his non-sensical lack-lustre stepping-stones. This one chapter book is so badly written, that in verse 4, Brother Jones messes up regurgitating Smitty's double-reformed-Egyptian 3 times in a row. And then conceeds to let Sister Patience read it, by saying, "take it away, Gigi!". We also discuss a few other things, like WTF is this "second annointing" horseshit? Which inevitably leads to the fateful tale of hippy-dippy performance duo "Holland and Oaks". :: Memorable Quote: :: Brother Jones (reading verse 7): "And it came to pass that they came many times against us - gross!" #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

Legislation to exclude trans-girls from participating in high-school sports. #We now have a TikTok!

Brother Jones answers the following question in Session#4 of "Q&A with Brother Jones."A lot of media coverage has been detailing the unrest in Ukraine (and rightfully so). Blatant lies and misrepresentation of actions on behalf of Russia are dangerous for future propaganda engines. However, the popular outpouring of support globally is vastly different now than with many other incidents of human suffering. I have seen posts offering jobs and asylum for Ukrainian refugees in ways that I have never seen for refugees of color.

** #060 Fornification ** :: Jacob 3-4 :: Sister Gigi tries to get a free Book of Mormon from the church without getting back on their records. Brother Jones improves the English language. Sister Patience loses patience with Smitty's shitty prose. Sister Gigi's TikTok as promised in the episode. Have fun ya'll! https://www.tiktok.com/@damnitgigi :: Memorable Quote 1: :: Sister Patience: "Hey Jones, say 'lasciviousness' 5 times really fast." Brother Jones: "Fuck you Patience." :: Memorable Quote 2: :: Sister Gigi (paraphrasing a part of Jacob 4:10): "Seek not to counsel the Lord, bitch!" :: Highlights: :: The team learn what "lasciviousness" means, sort of. Sister Gigi talks about Mormons preserving food; specifically beans, and even tuna! Brad Sounds return! Satan with 3 mouths! "God the Dick". A play in too many parts. :: Stoney Baloney :: If you want to see how the meaning of "stone that the builders rejected" has evolved over time, here's a journey! In Psalms 118:22, the "stone" is the Jewish people, despised as worthless by their neighbours. God surprised all by using these discarded building materials to defeat their enemies, and make their nation great again. Such a political message. Which is unsurprising. In Matthew 21:42, Jesus is trying to outwit some Jewish scholars who didn't like him. He mixes this quote from Psalms, with a silly parable of his own. The "stone" is the title/blessings/birthright of being "God's people". He's saying it will be given to others more worthy than these scholars. Oooh scathing! In Jacob 4:16-17, Smitty is saying the "stone" is Jesus. A foundation to build a righteous people. The "rejected" part was a reference to the unwelcome reception Jesus faced from the Jewish establishment in the New Testament. This meaning Jesus never used; neither did the psalmist! At this stage of the Book of Mormon story, Jesus' birth is still 500 years in the future, and these words were supposedly written by a Jew familiar with just the Psalm. So how any of it could make any "plain" simple sense is rediculous. Smitty betrays himself by including this common Christian rhetoric/misinterpretation in his boring story. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
Brother Jones answers the following questions in Session #3 of "Q&A with Brother Jones."Can you share more about why the Combahee River Collective believed that focusing on Black women would help everyone?

** #059 The Roast of Brad Wilcox ** :: Brad the fixer! Can he fix it? Nope. :: Today we roast Brad Wilcox by pulling apart every letter of his "G.O.S.P.E.L." sermon! Apparently he's been regurgitating this little lecture for a while, but we're roasting specifically from his performance at the infamous "Tri-Stake Fireside" in Alpine, Utah, on 6th February 2022. Brad tries desperately to convince the youth of rich Alpine Mormon parents, that being Mormon is cool, and fun; and they should beg to be sent to an indoctrination camp called "FSY". What makes the whole thing more amusing, is that Brad is actually this really expressive, charismatic guy. Christians would call him "dynamic" (whatever that means). He even cracks jokes complete with self-generated sound-effects! All while saying some of the most tone-deaf statements regarding the LDS church's bigotry regarding race and gender. :: Additional Stories: :: Sister Gigi & Brother Jones teach Sister Patience about 12 seater vans that Mormons use to transport their massive families, called "Mormon Troop Carriers", or "Mormon Battle Wagons"! Sister Gigi tells the full story of how she settled a law suit, for the cost of "One (1) Ripe Pineapple"! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #058 UnChastity ** :: Jacob 2 :: The Mormon inlaws of Brother Jones discover he's been doing a podcast! :: Highlights: :: This chapter says having more than one wife is bad, while also providing a loophole if you can believe a wild case of retroactive reinterpretation. The Swearing Tree! Smitty whores out the "whoredoms" again. King David (if he existed) was a Xena-style warlord. Brother Jones tells how he met Ted Raimi. Sister Patience tells of her fondness for actor Bruce Campbell. Ted and Bruce often appear in the same productions. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #057 Ding Dong Nephi's Dead ** :: Jacob 1 :: The first Nephi dies. Sister Gigi befriends Dorothy. Brother Jones meets Gigi and helps her find the missing Wifi. Sister Patience sings a song. :: Highlights: :: Expanding a cult by breeding is compound interest! Mormonism takes up your time (life) until you don't have time to form an identity outside of it. Brother Jones invents a new swear phrase - "Shit Fuck Ding Dong". How Mormonism tries to control "the baby makers". Star Wars, The Book of Mormon, Harry Potter, Tarot, The New Testament, all telling similar tales from the perspective of Joseph Campbell's "monomyth" idea. But where other authors created engaging characters to flesh out their hero stories, Smitty created "Nephi". Then he gave that name to other characters too. He even used it as a name for "king" (Jacob 1:11). Smitty then confused things further by naming multiple sections of his silly tale "Nephi". So now "First, Second & Third Nephi" could mean: 1) 3 sections (books) of The Book of Mormon, 2) 3 kings in "The Book of Mormon world", or 3) The particular "Nephis" associated with each silly section (book) titled "Nephi" in The Book of Mormon. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #056 Bishop Roulette ** :: The End of 2nd Nephi :: On the heals of Valentines Day 2022, Brother Jones tells a very Mormon tale that spanned 2 Valentines Days nearly 20 years earlier. Don't worry, it's amusing, and has a happy ending! Oh, and the word "verklempt" means "overcome with emotion"; for anyone wondering. Ahaha. Then Sister Patience and Brother Jones finally finish reading 2nd Nephi! Phew! :: Highlights: :: Prayer before sex, well it can't hurt right? Ahaha. But is it a church dogma? It depends on Bishop Roulette! 2 Nephi 32:3 - Nephi wants you to eat your Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi 32:8-9 - The most incredible word-salad on the topic of prayer. 2 Nephi 33:11 - Nephi and Co. "shall stand face to face" before God's incredibly turgid judgement "bar". 2 Nephi 33:13 - Brother Jones tries reading an entire verse in an Australian accent! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.
In Episode #1, Brother Jones analyzes the concept of Living History in relation to Black History.
** #055 Gently Shake the Holy Ghost's Hand... ** :: To make friends with a pigeon. :: Sister Patience auditions co-host candidate #2 - Brother Jones! Who tells about his life married to a "Happy Valley Girl", and how his family left Mormonism. :: Highlights: :: The origins of Lehi's bizarre vision from 1 Nephi (ya know, with the "iron rod", and the giant tree, and pathways, and a river). Compressed Zipped Reformed Egyptian. Inconsistent changes to the Book of Mormon over the years. Religious and Ex-Religious phychology can be somewhat similar, for better or worse. It was weird that Nephi mentioned "baptism" here. The concept did not exist at the time this story supposedly took place. 2 Nephi 31:8 retells the story of John 1:33 from the Bible. But the "dove" aspect of the story leads to some weird dogma from Smitty. Should Jesus have tried to shake the dove's hand? In 2 Nephi 31:18, Smitty once again connects this with that, and that with something else, with too many prepositions, and ends up with a mess.

Latter-day Saint Commentary from the Pacific Northwest - Rocky Mountain Sunshine Podcast
Welcome, everybody! As usual, I recording from Port Angeles, Washington, which is not in the Rocky Mountains as the Podcast name might imply. I started a blog called Rocky Mountain Sunshine while living in Utah in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, but we moved to Port Angeles, Washington, which still has mountains, but these are the Olympic Mountains. I kept blogging and kept the name. I started the podcast back in November last year, and just decided to go with Rocky Mountain Sunshine. So here we are! Maybe one day I'll change the name. Who knows. Let me know if you have an opinion either way or if you have a suggestion for a different name. Well, today I talk about the best Latter-day Saint podcasts out there. I know what you're thinking… There are other LDS podcasts out there? Haha. We'll stick round and you'll see. Let's get to it. I got a really nice message from a good friend of mine, Matt, who is a pro at Norwegian dancing, and a listener to the show. He said, “I listen to your podcast and it totally cracks me up. Also, it is better than any other LDS podcast that I have found. Do you recommend any others? The ones that I have listened to are incredibly boring.” Well thanks Matt! That is really nice. I of course replied, “Sadly my podcast IS the best podcast out there, so I suggest just re-listening to all of my podcasts.” haha - I'm kidding. So I'm going to talk more about this today. He also reminded me of something that I had forgotten about. I was a counselor in the bishopric in Highland and our bishop was in the national guard so he was gone one Sunday every month. As the first counselor, in his absence, I would conduct bishopric meetings, ward councils, sacrament meetings, etc. I didn't like sitting in the bishop's chair when he was gone. My friend Mat wrote, “Remember how you used to sit next to the Bishop's desk and not behind the desk in Ward Council, etc. when Bishop Baker was out of town? Do you still sit next to your desk in the Bishop's office or have you tried sitting behind it? Just wondering.” haha If you've picked up a bit of my humor, from the show, and get a sense of Mat's humor, who was our Executive Secretary, and then add in our bishop and 2nd counselor. You start to see that we sat around laughing a lot more than we probably should have as a bishopric. This also reminds me of a little prank I did on Bishop Baker. He had gone to see Boston in concert the night before. We had a google sheet that we shared which had our sacrament hymns and the outline for our program. So I thought it would be funny to change all the names of the sacrament hymns to Boston Songs and see if the bishop noticed. I was sitting there straight-faced in our bishopric meeting when Bishop Baker reviewed the program. It went something like this. “We will begin the meeting singing hymn # 275 “More than a feeling”. Sister Johnson will give the opening prayer. We will have our sacrament hymn # 304 “Peace of Mind”. We will have a talk from Brother Jones, and Sister Smith, and our closing hymn will be Hymn 85, “Don't Look Back.”.... Long pause. Wait. Are these real hymns?

My older brother Matt has been teaching seminary and institute for 20 plus years. He talks about choosing to have a career in S & I, how the curriculum has changed over the years and they focus. Matt loves his students and recalls different youth and young adults who have influenced his life as a teacher. You don't want to miss this touching podcast interview. "We may not give the fanciest lesson, we may not be just terrifically skillful with audio visual aids…but we can share with every student the fire of our faith, and we can warm our hands by it. I've been painfully disappointed over the years…that wonderful lessons given by loyal gifted teachers who somehow at the end of a class will say, “Well, there's the bell. Brother Jones, will you give the prayer?” And it's over. No closing the books, no looking in the eye for just a minute. No settling down to just say, in effect, where have we been, where are we going, and what is the Lord trying to do?….In some cases not a single reference to what this was supposed to mean to the student or to the teacher that I am left to walk away saying, “I wonder how he felt about that? I wonder how he thought about it? Or what it was supposed to mean to him or to me?” So much effort to get some doctrine, some principle, some map, some video clip across to the students, but not a hint of personal testimony about what that doctrine or that principle meant to the teacher the one who was suppose to lead us and guide us and walk besides us. As President J. Reuben Clark once said, “never let your faith be difficult to detect.” Maybe I'll repeat that. “Never let your faith be difficult to detect.” Never sow seeds of doubt. Avoid self-serving performance and vanity. Don't try to dazzle everyone with how brilliant you are–dazzle them with how brilliant the gospel is. Don't worry about the location of the lost tribes or the three nephites; worry a little more about the location of your student–what's going on in his heart, what's going on in her soul–the hunger. Sometimes the near desperate spiritual needs of our people. Teach them and above all testify to them, love them, bear your witness from the depths of your soul. It will be the most important thing you say to them in the entire hour, and it may save someone's spiritual life. -Elder Jeffrey R.

This week, Brother Jones and Brother Knox of Beyond the Block invited us to be guests on their Come Follow Me podcast as we talked about Alma 17-22. In a discussion of queer love, allyship, leveraging privilege, and the powerfully transgressive friendship of Abish and Queen Lamoni--this episode does not disappoint! If you don't already know, Beyond the Block is a podcast dedicated to centering the marginalized in Mormonism. The hosts describe themselves as staunch advocates for the theology and harsh critics of the culture when it comes to Mormonism. A black life-long member and queer convert respectively, they bring a less heard perspective to the notoriously white and heteronormative faith. You can find them online at beyondtheblockpodcast.com or on social media @btblds. It was such a pleasure to work with them and we hope you enjoy the episode!
