Community of Christ Prophet-President to Retire


MNRU Poll of the Week

Why doesn’t the COJCOLDS have a better prophetic leadership transition process?

  1. Because Brigham Young’s uber-inspired transition process based on apostolic ordination date has been working so well

  2. Because Mormons never had anyone as handsome as Joseph Smith III at the helm

  3. Bottom like: Orson Hyde was a wicked and slothful servant

  4. Because white, zany, dementia-stricken geriatrics are unpredictable and fun!

  5. Because cisgender Utah born silver foxes appeal so well to generation z and millennials 

  6. After Brigham Young transfigured into Joseph Smith in August 1844, there’s no going back

Scott Taylor: Why ‘dying testimonies’ is just one reason to avoid missionary slangAre Mormons smart?

Why an Anglican priest now lives the Word of Wisdom and feels it a privilege to pay tithing Shoutout to Weird Alma for this episode's music.

New Gospel Topics Essay

Quoted at the Pulpit: Male Rhetoric and Female Authority in Fifty Years of General Conference

MNRU Poll of the Week

Why aren’t women quoted more often in General Conference talks?

  1. Women are too busy slavishly making doughnuts for their priesthood presiding husbands during priesthood session
  2. Because Kate Kelly refuses to channel her tender mercies
  3. To paraphrase Sherri Dew, “Are we not all women”?
  4. Because stubborn feminists refuse to keep sweet, pray and obey
  5. Just like Wendy Nelson’s bestselling book, women should be quoted “Not even Once”
  6. Demanding greater female quotation is “both arrogant and unproductive”.
  7. Probably because LDS women are too bossy and are sometimes a little shrill
  8. When Mormon women stop pushing pregnant sisters down the stairs, they will get quoted more often

Why hasn’t President Nelson visited Ukraine since the war began one year ago?

  3. Wendy Nelson prefers traveling to Hawaii or to the newest exotic temple locales on the luxury 1st presidency jet
  4. He is far too busy making clandestine trips to Adam Ondi Ahman and Zelph’s tomb
  5. After his miraculous flight of death, RMN’s a little squeamish about flying coach

  3. Anti-anti Mormon lies! Wait, does that make them true?

MNRU Poll of the week (available only on Anchor)

Is the word “Mormon” a major victory for Satan?

  1. Fetch no! The thousands of people who joined the Church after viewing the expensive, worldwide, and Church Sponsored ‘I am a Mormon campaign’ prove it.
  2. Absolutely! As Elder David Bednar recently remarked at the National Press Club luncheon, we can’t let this pejorative of our enemies define our faith.
  3. I doubt it. Remember, the prophet Joseph Smith said the word Mormon means ‘more good.’
  4. No way! President Thomas Monson was proud to be a Mormon boy, and I am proud to support the MormoNewsRoundup!
  5. You bet! and in order to thwart Satan, we need to immediately change the official name of the ‘Book of Mormon’ to the ‘Book of Moroni’s Dad’
  6. Yes. The word ‘Mormon’ is basically the same as the ‘N word.’
  7. With all the suffering in the world, what difference does it make?
