In case anyone missed it, Chino found a scary video — designed to scare Mormons and others with the problems in the world today — and claiming that there’s only one solution: Jesus Christ. (In the LDS font.) What that solution translates into in practical terms is hard to say,…
worst home teacher ever
Stetson Hallam, a 20-year old sophomore at BYU, was rebuffed by one of the girls for whom he was a home teacher. His response: Catch her in their apartment complex, use a stun gun to immobilize her, then attempt to handcuff her (unclear what he was planning after that). But…

the new mission model – pay for fans
LDS Inc. has signed on with http://usocial.net/ to buy Facebook fans and Youtube hits. Now I know why 600,000+ people have watched some of the stuff in the MormonMessage’s Youtube channel: the Mormon Church is paying usocial.net to make it happen. This almost seems like a genius, albeit superficial, marketing…

Ah, a Spring Wedding in Mexico — Lovely!
