This money quote is disgusting: Because I don't have the proper spirit to be an effective usher inside the temple, or even the patience to help with parking outside, the church found me a portable bathroom to monitor. WTH?

"Regilding for the Dead"...

Party A, responding to this news: But of course, this angel Moroni will have the opportunity to accept OR reject this regilding. No one forces angels to undergo horn, face, and arm conversions.
Party B: Yeah, sure.

Don't mess with the Thunderbird (Courtesy Wikipedia)

The Thunderbird is a legendary creature in North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It's considered a "supernatural" bird of power and strength. It is especially important, and richly depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, but is also found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest and Great Plains. Thunderbirds were major components of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex of American prehistory.

The Thunderbird's name comes from the common belief that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind. The Lakota name for the Thunderbird is Wakį́yą, a word formed from kįyą́, meaning "winged," and wakhą́, "sacred." The Kwakwaka'wakw have many names for the Thunderbird and the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) called him Kw-Uhnx-Wa. The Ojibwa word for a thunderbird that is closely associated with thunder is animikii, while large thunderous birds are known as binesi.

Across many North America indigenous cultures, the Thunderbird carries many of the same characteristics. It is described as a large bird, capable of creating storms and thundering while it flies. Clouds are pulled together by its wingbeats, the sound of thunder made by its wings clapping, sheet lightning the light flashing from its eyes when it blinks, and individual lightning bolts made by the glowing snakes that it carries around with it. In masks, it is depicted as many-colored, with two curling horns, and, often, teeth within its beak.

I think it refers to Mormons being assigned to do things by their minders/ward leaders based on what the spirit “moves” the minder to assign based on the faithfulness/mindless obedience of the assignee. From what I’ve observed in my niece’s husband’s TBM family, such assignments end up being a popularity contest, with the “winners” getting plum assignments and those deemed not quite worthy enough getting the shaft.

I have an old Thunderbird...but this isn't it...

LOL!

I told Kirby he needs to wear this hat next time he's anywhere near the trumpet player. Besides someone said that Miles Davis was offended and was only trying to get the trumpeteer to play jazz and needed be more politically correct.

This is what Christianity is really all about...

Listen and watch and be blessed today...

****I have an old Thunderbird...but this isn’t it...***

"This money quote is disgusting:

Disgusting? Do you know much about Kriby? Obviously you don't 'get' his humor.

If Kirby's humor disgusts you, you might want to tone down your disgust-o-meter.

[svcw]

In order for there to be humor, there must be some truth. Are you saying that it is true that lds will relegate you to guarding outdoor toilets if you don't measure up?
If that's the case I'll laugh.

[GreyMountainReagan]

In order for there to be humor, there must be some truth.

Is that why your post are not humorous except maybe unintentionally?

[MHGinTN]

Oh go ahead and take the velvet off that hammer you’re so fond of swinging. You’re not fooling anyone, hon.

[svcw]

That's an interesting thought on your part as I never intended to be humorous, so I am a successful.

[GreyMountainReagan]

I never intended to be humorous..

I was speaking in a general sense but anyway...even though you apparently do not intend to be humorous sometimes you unintentionally are funny.

Quite funny in fact.

[GreyMountainReagan]

Are you trying to fool anyone?
