Its that time of year again. The media will soon start reviewing the important news stories of the year, Time will soon select its Person of the Year; so we should get busy selecting the Mormon of the Year.

For those who don’t remember, T&S selected Mitt Romney as the Mormon of the Year for 2008, Harry Reid for 2009, and Elizabeth Smart for 2010.

Stephenie Meyer – Like or hate her books, she is certainly the face of Mormonism among many people around the world, especially this year, with the success of the Twilight movies in theaters and news articles frequently mentioning her religion. [2,090 results on Google News]

Mormonism is the only religion where when you draw a "timeline" you need to do it in a maze-like diagram form!

Well, Elz...MormonDude has "outed" you as a plaque-acquiring Wesleyan "winner."

I am sorry to inform you but the Flying Inmans will now have to rally together a Task Force to see if this award means you've already received your due reward on earth...and if no further rewards from the Lord are forthcoming...

We pray this is not the case. But that award looks a wee too bit polished for something presented 14.5 years ago.

Our suspicions are that you shine it daily...perhaps even thrice daily...Trinitarian that you are...

We will begin the Flying Inman Inquisition post-haste...and forgive the interrogation "tone-age" about it...but, hey, some of the Inmans have been thru far too many bishop temple recommend "sessions" and just can't help the carry-over "intonement."

(They, too, have always wanted to be in a bishopric role -- however temporary!)

Alright!

Who's got the Rube Goldberg image with the little blue balls going every which way?

You are RIGHT!

I saw him shoveling the dust off to take a picture just a moment ago!

Ooops! Gotta run again!)

I hereby nominate myself for “Non-Denominational Pew-Potato of the Year!”

Please send all votes to this thread.

Wow! Mormonism is the only religion where when you draw a "timeline" you need to do it in a maze-like diagram form!

Actually, it all makes a lot more sense after you hie to Mossiers Tavern in Nauvoo and chug a few of these.

Interesting bookshelf. We shall have to compare collections some day.

This is hate speech. What happened to freedom of religion?

[reaganaut]

Pretty much, yep.

[Revolting cat!]

What's 'hate speech', Lady In the Lake?

[reaganaut]

Don’t bother responding Colo, Lady on the Lake went bonkers tonight supporting Mitt and rode the lightning.

[mrreaganaut]

Ooh, book envy - I have a hard time with that commandment...

[reaganaut]

We have over 10,000 volumes. We bought a building to put them in. How on earth could you still have book envy?

[mrreaganaut]

Books are like ‘Pokemon’ - gotta catch ‘em all!

This is stupidity! What ever happened to freedom of speech?
