Sigh, this week has been pretty calm compared to last week. I guess there was this article about mishies not getting the healthcare they need, which gave some deserved publicity to the Sick RMs organization. President Newsroom’s response made me sick. Just a couple weeks after the fiasco of handing…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Ponderize Edition!
I just love the week after General Conference! We get treated a to a whole week of discussion and analysis (and parodies and oodles and oodles of podcasts!) of all of the good parts of what was said — and, boy, did this last one have a lot of stuff…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Armageddon deferred (again) edition!
September ended, the “blood moon” came and went, and — surprise, surprise — the end-of-the-world financial collapse (predicted by Julie Rowe and the preppers) didn’t happen. I was just wondering why so many people go bananas over disaster predictions that are just made up when there are so many reality-based…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Mental health edition!
Andrew S contrasted the attitudes of John Dehlin and Dan Wotherspoon using a quote that illustrates this week’s LDS topic: It’s not just these isolated positive emotional experiences that I had, that you have had, that others have had…it’s the fact that those are tied to an institution that brings…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: tidbits edition!
This past week didn’t have one big, over-arching Mo-related scandal (for once), but there were oh-so-many interesting tidbits!! Archeologists recently found the mass graves of the victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Mormon population numbers don’t add up, and the fight for women’s reproductive health in Utah just got…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Julie Rowe Edition!
Whatever happened to that old-time LDS religion that was always on about how the end of the world is nigh? Probably some members like the newer, calmer CoJCoL-dS, but others are clearly unsatisfied with the weak porridge (and deletions) that the correlated corporate church serves up — they want the…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: The Return!
Hi folks, I’m back!! When we last checked in with the church PR leaders, they were huffily, grudgingly sticking with the Boy Scouts as their youth program (and continuing their policy of ignoring girls). On immigration the right-wingers also have the opportunity to be out-of-sync with a political position held…
Technical Difficulties Commenting

Wednesday in Outer Blogness: The perils of love edition!!
Not exactly Mormon related, but the hot topic of the past week-and-a-half was the hacking of Ashley Madison — exposing adulterers — including everybody’s favorite sleazy hypocrite: Josh Duggar. Apparently Josh Duggar apologised to his fans (and Jesus), but he should really be apologising to the LGBT couples out there…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: deferred edition…
Hey folks, on Sunday I’ll be visiting Milan — hanging out with my sister who is on vacation in Italy — and I have a day-trip planned for next Sunday as well. So I’d like to do a middle-of-two-weeks edition on Wednesday to make up for missing these two Sundays….
