Spring of 1842 was a world-shaping event, the introduction of the endowment ceremony by Joseph Smith to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We've talked about it and a few of the more recent changes to the endowment a few times, but this is the overview. What it was when it was introduced, how it changed under Brigham Young, and many of the changes that have happened since his death, all under one (long) segment. Then we talk about Heretic, a movie about two missionaries in a cat-and-mouse game with a well-educated anti-Mormon playing by his own rules. Then we wrap with happy news from ABC and Jimmy Kimmel responding to the government shutdown and SNAP running dry.

We go through each of them, discuss the information that's missing, chat about the propaganda woven into every line, and speculate as to the impetus behind the new essays. For ease of listening, the Book of Mormon Translation starts at 13:31, the Plural Marriage starts at 1:01:24, and Joseph Smith's Character starts at 1:53:15. After that we chat Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a post-apocalyptic wasteland movie about two warring cult leaders. Then we wrap with happy news about metalheads fighting bullying in schools!

This episode is two fold: it will share tips for responding to people who don't respond well to your exciting announcements AND it will share compassion and validation for those who find it hard to hear happy news of others since they are still waiting for theirs.Have you ever shared some happy news with someone, only to have a response that is not so happy? Perhaps it's jealous or even angry that you got what they are still desiring. Maybe that's a healing in your body, a boyfriend, a new job. It can be anything really and it's actually kinda common to share good news and have people not match your level of excitement over said happy news. I pray this episode finds you in a timely manner and gives you hope for the future and compassion for yourself, friend!Recommended episodes:Why I'm Certain Based on Scripture that God Wants Everyone HealthyWhy it's Illegal for Sickness to Live in the Body of a BelieverWhy Many Healings are Progressive (even though that's not God's best for us)Connect with Nyla:IGWebsiteNyla's second podcast, On the Job with God Christian Business Podcast

This month's Woo News is
Not only is it Pride month but it's also been almost 10 years since the Mormon church issued their policy against the children of LGBTQIA+ parents. We take a look at the effects that policy had, the increasingly draconian measures the government is taking, and we read between the lines of Mormon church policies. We also look at the measures people are taking to improve the lives of LGBTQIA+. For Media of Great Price, we watched the lovely 2018 movie Rafiki about two lesbian women in Kenya. And we end with good news out of Paris about a new monument. Happy Pride Month!
