    My sister came home early for a medical reason. She picked up some virus, that she still carries, and her mission president decided that she was depressed and tried to force her on antidepressants and gaslight her that she wasn’t trying hard enough or whatever. So, I know she can understand the whole mission president roulette issue.

    Is having to talk to the bishop to complete the repentance process for certain things even scriptural? I suppose crimes against humanity would be the only ones i can think of, and that would be just for membership’s sake.

    Zion Media? There are a bunch of nutcases. They take all these fake “new” scriptures as truth (Nemenhah Records, where Alma felt so bad about falsely accusing Corianton for immorality that he went off and killed himself in the wilderness, and all that). I’ve called them out before in their comments. They were pissed.

    My dad called as bishop, so I guess I’ll have to ask him about the counseling thing in January.

    Mormon was originally a slur, we just championed it and said that doesn’t affect us, so we’re just gonna use the name for ourselves.

    SVU is a cool little place.

    The Demiurge. That reminds me, my favorite book series’s final book just released, and I have to go listen to it as soon as i’m done with my current book.
    Basically Romans in space with tons of stoicism, Greek and Roman and other ancient influence and quotes, set tens of thousands of years in the future. A ship named The Demiurge will play a huge part in this final book. Was once a ship created by a guy, long thought dead, who figured out how to transport his consciousness/spirit into other bodies to keep living, plus cyberpunk like modifications.
    The series is called The Sun Eater, for anyone interested. The writer was an atheist when he first started writing, and somewhere at the end of the first or second book, converted heavily to Catholicism, so some influences from that are sprinkled in.

    I listen on 1.4x. The jury’s still out on if you sound intelligent or not.
