My Book Of Mormon

We address the controversy we accidentally started in episode 130, D&C section 46 (oops!). So, should we start a Comments Section discussion at the start of each episode? Email me, let me know at comments@mybookofmormonpodcast.com. Section 50: Joseph lets us all know that everyone needs to calm down with the revelations and spiritual phenomena. False spirits aren't good, y'all, you need to stick with the true spirits that come from God, and Joseph is here to tell us how. Drink count - 14, or about two beers Read along with us at joelakuhn.com/dc-compare

Marie and Bryce dish about Marie's Ft Collins trip and Bryce's recent run-in with Mormon missionaries, then get their act together to read Chapter 49. Did you know that the current chapter order is completely different than the chapter order in the original version? Neither did Marie! Chapter 49 - Joseph Smith reveals how wrong, wrong, wrong the Shakers are and affirms that marriage is between one man and one woman, vegetarianism is bad, god is not a woman, and baptism must be done. Married Drink count - 9, or about one beer Unmarried Drink count - 9 + bonus beer, or about two beers Read along with us at http://joelakuhn.com/dc-compare/

Local (to me) listener Jim Van Heel joins me in Studio MK (Marie's Kitchen) to read two administrative chapters. Woo hoo! But first, Jim tells us about leaving the church, the difficulties of bringing up the hard topics, and beer.

Episode 129: D&C 30 - Section 45 Part 2 Jesus reasserts that he is lord, then there's talk about the end of days (Michael Bay, please direct the movie of this), and it wraps up with Zion will be The Best Place Ever. None of this has anything to do with the false reports and foolish stories that caused this revelation to be brought forth, so mostly I'm confused.

On September 10, 2016 I visited the Ft Collins Temple with my friend Chad. This is our audio diary.

Mormons who make the news tend to be the worst examples of Mormonism. The only thing we learn in this section is that headers can be super awkward when they're full of ellipses. 9 drinks, or about a beer and a half. Read along with us at joelakuhn.com/dc-compare

Joseph lets us know that God will be with the believers at a meeting that will occur in June. Marie and Bryce accidentally discuss the Pony Express, then discuss our interactions with and views of modern day Mormonism. 4 drinks, so you'd be better off doing shots rather than waste half a beer. Sound of Cylons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMUezhpuEoE Marie's interview with Cass and Bob will be up on http://www.everyonesagnostic.com/ in mid-September 2016. Marie's friend Marie has a swear-filled podcasted called Fresh Out. Hear her stories of leaving behind unreal expectations imposed on us by others, by religion, by culture, or by ourselves. http://freshouttruestory.podbean.com/ Foster Kittens on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/foster_kittens/?hl=en Intro Music by Andy G.

Revelators gonna revelate, so listen only to Joseph the Revelator. Marie and Bryce do their best God Voices, and Mean Jesus doesn't want you to have a good time. 13 drinks, or about two beers.

Women are part of this section!!!! Don't worry, it's all negative. Peer pressure is a thing, much in the way that logical narrative flow isn't. 5 drinks, or one beer if you take big swigs (recommended). Read along with us at www.joelakuhn/dc-compare

In today's episode of victim-blaming, it's all your fault because you don't have enough faith. If you're in 1831 you learn about allocating space for newcomers, if you're in 2013 or later you learn that you get one free pass, then you have to stop your adulterous ways. I wish I was kidding. 13 drinks, or about 2 beers. Read along with us at joelakuhn.com/dc-compare/

Ownership, 1831 Edition: All ur stuff are belong to the bishop. Ownership, 2013 Edition: All ur excess stuff are belong to the church for the benefit of the poor, occasionally, if it works out that way. 10 drinks, or approximately 2 beers (feel free to round up).

God's strength is affirmed when he assures James Covel that moving to Ohio will be a 100% success, then Satan swoops in and tempts Covel right outta there. Joseph and Sidney get revelated into nicer houses. It's good to be in charge! 19 drinks, or about three beers. Read long with me at http://joelakuhn.com/dc-compare/

God commands Joseph to bring his people from Fayette, NY to Ohio, despite it being around 20F/-6C and windy outside. Marie and Bryce have an attack of empathy after Joseph’s followers are commanded to leave all their worldly possessions behind so they can live as sharecroppers on a rich guys’ land. God decides to withhold anything good from his followers just in case they might one day become prideful and need to be exterminated. 14 drinks, or about 2 beers, which frankly, isn’t nearly enough for this sobfest.

Episode 118: D&C 36-37 Two quickie revelations ensure that a local rich dude feels extra special, and that a Bible translation is paused due to impending church migration from NY to OH. Marie and Bryce rejoice in finishing these revelations so quickly, then take a turn for the dark when Marie rants about how the primary spiritual gift for women sometimes kills them. Four drinks, or less than one beer, but I think you should just take big swigs. To read along with us, go here: http://joelakuhn.com/dc-compare/

Marie and Bryce learn that rampant pronoun use is incredibly confusing and eventually suss out that Sydney Rigdon will replace Oliver Cowdery as Joseph Smith’s scribe, but first Marie can’t resist geeking out about Lu La Roe clothing. The terrible line spacing and punctuation differences between the original and current versions of chapter/section 35 lower the readability and increase the fun! Seven drinks, or approximately one beer.

BREAKING NEWS, yet another guy is sent forth into the wilderness to preach the gospel. We also have a brief discussion of blood moons and Stargate SG-1, because astronomy is cool. A measly seven drinks, or approximately one beer.

This is an odd set of revelations. The first one is addressed to Parley P. Pratt and Ziba Peterson, telling them to go preach to the Natives on the border with the Lamanites in Missouri. The second one is addressed to Northrop Sweet and Ezra Thayre, telling them to go preach to the Natives on the border with the Lamanites in Missouri; but, the second one is WAAAAAY BETTER!!! The first section is 5 verses long and ends with a pathetic 1 “Drink!” while the second section talks about thrusting sickles, filling open mouths, and referencing the Book of Mormon, all while nearly murdering our livers with 20 “Drinks!” Why would these two revelations be telling different people to do the same thing, yet sound so different in doing so?   “Drink!” count – 21 Over 3 beers!

To get us started, a bunch of different revelations to the Whitmer brothers are combined into one. David is told to stick around, while the others are told to go out on a mission. After that, Thomas Marsh is called to be a physician to the church, AND ONLY THE CHURCH, even if that means ignoring the wishes of his family. “Drink!” Count –12 About 2 beers

The show has found a new host, and I couldn't be happier! I love you already Marie, and can't wait for you and Bryce to start the next chapter of the show. As a Mymo, I love the wild and crazy journey that we've already been through and can't wait to find out what happens next. Thank you Marie and Bryce for making sure that journey didn't end. I can guarantee I'll never miss an episode. All the best. Signed, David Michael, Former Host of the My Book of Mormon Podcast
