Sunday in Outer Blogness: Ripples of the Revelation Edition!

chanson, October 14, 2012

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Missionaries and Modern Miracles Edition!

chanson, October 7, 2012

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Secret and Sacred Edition!

chanson, September 30, 2012

Let’s start this week’s theme off right with a story in which an attractive woman sticks her finger up Kuri’s butt. In other secret/sacred body news, an obsessive focus on which body parts women cover or show is not a good way avoid reducing women to objects. And it’s getting…

Seeing the box you’re in: “The Collapse of Belief” by Kurt and Barbara Hanks

What would you do to get into BYU? Donna Banta’s “The Girls from Fourth Ward”

chanson, September 22, 2012

What if your bishop is a petty tyrant who loves nothing so much as the power he has over other people’s lives. You can’t simply switch to another ward. So, well… Somebody has to off him. But who? That’s the premise of Donna Banta’s delightfully entertaining and totally Mormon murder…

chanson, September 16, 2012

Yet another week’s discussion revolves around President News H. Room‘s recent cola revelation!!
