Can you believe that shit? The unmitigated gall it takes to put something like that out on the Internet is just mind boggling.  And they expect people to believe it!  It must be that whole “Bronze Age superstition with the 19th Century con man update” mindset at work.

Two things:

1. The arrogance of this post is amazing.  It shows what the church hierarchy really thinks about people.

2. These same people expect you to trust that they have superior knowledge of “God’s” will.

Un-fucking-believable.

(this is one of those “the guilty will be hung out to dry!” posts)

P.S. I don’t ‘follow’ the Mormon Church Twitter feed, it was a “promoted” post that popped up when I logged on to Twitter.  I’ve seldom had such a strong and sudden response to any Tweet.

Not them, but close

I’ve been hoping to meet a couple of cute missionary boys for a while,  when I would be both awake and have the time to talk with them for a bit.  Usually they wake me up, or catch me as I’m heading out the door, and I can’t chat with them.  Tonight the stars were aligned just right!

I was tinkering around with my iPhone, playing with the GPS/mapping software, and was standing at the curb at the corner of my property.  The map program that comes with the iPhone was showing me standing right at the edge of my property line, exactly where I was actually standing!  I had always assumed there would be a noticeable error when zoomed down to street level, but danged if it didn’t have me exactly where I was!  I walked back to the back of the property, and the same thing occurred.  The map’s little blue dot was smack on the property line.  I’m impressed.  I  walked back out to the street to check against the satellite map, and was tinkering with it when two white-shirted Mormon boys rode up on their bikes.
