** #126 Roasting Saints 26: Magic Finger ** :: History Obfuscating Verb :: Patience and Jones tear the "Saints" podcast a new one. Mouse adorably gatecrashes the conversation. Jones achieves peak rant.

** #123 Roasting Saints 25: The One Shitey And Wrong ** :: It's not the size of the steeple that counts :: Brother Brandon is back to explain Church History, Property Lines, Dallin Oakes, Death Canes, Joseph's prophecy about "The One Mighty And Strong", and the new LDS "trans guidelines" and how they may affect Mormons. Sister Divchina tells how The Church is in the process of excommunicating Nemo the Mormon, although no one seems to know why they waited until now. Was the straw that broke Moroni's back to suggest it's not the size of the steeples that count, but the ordinances? Is Church President Rusty coming with a giant steeple, to upgrade all those temples that don't have them? Sister Gigi becomes a mechanic, refurs a giant polar bear plush toy, and tries to watch "The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives". :: Commenting on the 25th episode of the LDS "Saints" podcast: :: Long before anyone wanted to "drain the swamp" in Washington DC, the Latter-day Saints wanted to drain the swamp in Nauvu. As usual, Joseph Smith's help was intangible. Although he did tirelously "encourage" the Saints to not die in the malaria bog. Poor Joseph, that must have been tough. The talking heads on the Saints Podcast seem to think people knew their Bible better in the 19th century than today. Sister Patience thinks that is complete horseshit. The amusing story of how Joseph asks the US president for some cash, and gets shot down! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #122 Roasting Saints 24: Old Steve Harper Had A Farm ** :: Oh no no no no! :: Today Brother Jones and Sister Patience mock episode 24 of the LDS "Saints" podcast, where Ben and Sarah are joined by church bigwig Steve Harper. A man with a smoothly deep and condescending voice, that could so easily be smoothly deep and sexy if he wasn't a Mormon. Steve talks so confidently about things that don't make sense, and Ben and Sarah think it's fantastic. And in an alternate universe they probably would have blown him straight after the recording. :: Highlights: :: "Porn Shoulders" and their origin story. Brother Jones sings an improved version of the Christian Chorus classic: "Our God is an Awesome God". The daily allowance of the word "cunt" is exceeded. Joseph Smith makes a dis-track. BYU prepares to open a medical school, and the memes roll in. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #118 Alma 4-5:30 A dingo ate my Book of Mormon ** :: and shat it into the Waters of Mormon :: Brother Benjamin and Sister Patience read 1.5 chapters from Joseph's Smith's tome of dingo shit AKA the Book of Mormon. They had a good time with it. Sister Patience sets the record straight. A dingo really did eat an infant in 1980. Australia's shitty legal system bungled the evidence, accused the parents of killing their child, and sent them to prison. They have since been exhonerated. But the parents never totally lost the stigma of "baby killer", despite overwhelming evidence they were not at fault. Let's hope humanity learns how to do the law better. On a lighter note... Dingoes are adorably cute! They have big ears, look like dogs, but don't generally bark like domesticated dogs. Should they be called dogs? Maybe. Dingoes can interbreed with domesticated dogs. As usual we discuss recent Mormon happenings, like how Rusty needs his faithful followers to go merge church-and-state so he can have the tallest steeples around. Why does Jesus need a tall steeple? Matthew 27:51 indicates that God's prescence is not confined to a temple, because the temple veil was miraculously wrent when Jesus died. Jesus isn't even at the top of a Mormon temple steeple. It's the graven image of Moroni. I guess Mormons interpret the 3rd commandment (from the Ten Commandments), in their own unique way. Mormons would be more relatable, if they were more Christlike as indicated in this heavily paraphrased story Jesus told in Matthew 25:41-46 Then God said to those on his left, "GTFO, go live with Satan!" I was starving and thirsty, and you ignored me. I was a stranger and you didn't welcome me. My clothes were threadbare, and you did nothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't realise how lonely I was. Those on the left of God then replied, "Whoa, where did that come from?" So God explains, "You never showed any love for the other humans I put you on the planet with. Living with other humans is the ultimate test, and you failed! Your innaction of kindness was like an innaction of kindness to me." #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #117 Roasting Saints 22: Mormon War Never Changes ** :: A mob of their own :: This episode is about the 1838 nastiness called "the Mormon war". We pull apart what the Saints podcast says about it, and also add a few extra tid-bits. It wasn't the first scuffle, and it won't be the last, as we make our way through early Mormon history. In a 24 hour period Joseph Smith's attitude goes from "fight like angels", to pleading with George Hinkle to "beg like dogs for peace". Why do people call Joseph a prophet again? #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #116 Roasting Saints 21 and Alma 3 ** :: Waffle of Mormon :: As Joseph Smith loses his focus repeatedly in Alma 3, and the scribe rolls his eyes and continues to write - THINK CELESTIAL. When Joseph Smith introduces racist doctrine, and then incase anyone might explain it away continues to reiterate - THINK CELESTIAL. When Joseph Smith makes up a stupid new word like "Ishmaelitish", or goes infantile and literally calls people "good" or "bad" - THINK CELESTIAL. When false-prophet Rusty gets even rustier because all the speakers at General Conference keep sucking his metaphorical and unprophetic phallus - THINK CELESTIAL. When you thought you were finally out of that unhealthy Masonic underwear, and the heavies at General Conference tell you to put them back on, and to waste your time alive doing nothing in a temple - SAY "NO", AND THINK YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. When Joseph Smith tries to tell you that Communism is God's will, follow Oliver Cowdry's example and RESIGN FROM THE CHURCH. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #113 Alma One: Poke the Bear ** :: Neee-Hawww and Gideon have a preach battle :: Don't worry, Neee-Hawww AND Gideon die! :: Mormon related news discussed: :: Homelessness in Salt Lake City. How do you help people? Benjamin, Gigi and Patience each have different perspectives. James Huntsman's fraud case against the Church is being appealed (naturally). Brother Benjamin explains where the "Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals" sits in the United States judicial system. The October 2023 LDS General Conference! Rusty phones-in an alienating message, and Dalin Oaks looks like a Cheshire Cat that's licked the cream! Brother Benjamin and Sister Gigi explain the whole "Tim Ballard" fiasco. Since this podcast recording in early October 2023, LDS Apostle, Melvin Russell Ballard (no relation to Tim, yet key to the story, yes it's confusing) has died at 95 years old. So Rusty will be announcing a new Apostle to take his place soon. Assuming the 99 year old lives long enough to do that. :: Key amusements from Alma One: :: The gang learn about Priestcraft, sort of. A word that Joseph Smith invented, and that you'll never hear in a mainstream Christian denomination. Smitty kicks off his new book by jumping straight to the action, and then spends half the chapter rambling the back-story he forgot to put in sequence. Grammar left the building. Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Pronoun Problem. Again! Neee-Hawww and Gideon have a preach battle in which Gideon dies. Oh, and not THAT Gideon from the Bible. And not THAT donkey that spoke to Balaam. Alma Jnr is High Priest AND Chief Judge, which sounds a lot like "king" where there isn't seperation of Church and State. :: Memorable Quote: :: SISTER GIGI: "History is written by the victor..." BROTHER BENJAMIN: "... and fiction is written by the author." #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #112 Mosiah 29: Boredom Shared, Burden Halved ** :: Presented by Friends in Iniquity :: Sister Divchina joins Sister Patience in reading the final horrible chapter of Mosiah. They also discuss the poorly regulated "troubled teen industry" in Utah, which sadly stole the life of 17 year old Taylor Goodridge on 20th December 2022. ** "Things" learned from Mosiah 29 ** Joseph Smith loves non-specific pronouns like "things". Everyone else can't tell what he's talking about. Derivations of the word "expedient" can be used to make anything sound authoritative. The word's meaning is irrelevant. If you get bored during one of Smitty's run-on sentences, find a place to pause (good luck), and interject "In the bedroom!". The results are often amusing. Your mileage may vary. God is like a Twix bar. The pitfalls of Smitty's theocracy mixed with democracy outlined in this chapter. It's a structure that the church tries to use today. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #110 Mosiah 27: Alma son of Alma ** :: Hilarity with Charity! :: In preparation for this recording, Sister Charity ruined her Youtube search history with Mormon research. Thank you for your sacrifice! She contrasts the latter-day-cult with her own experiences of growing up as the spawn of pentecostal missionaries in the Philippines! Since there were two lawyers on the show, Sister Patience asked Brother Banjamin and Sister Gigi about some ways the legal system might be improved Mosiah 27 itself didn't fail to dissappoint, so expect amusement as the team roasts it mercilessly. :: Key (Dissappoint|Amuse)ments: :: Smitty's "the that thou" tongue twister. An angel with a thundering voice who forgets to announce being sent from God, until the end, where it sounds really unconvincing, even with all the thundering. Much to the confusion of everyone, Smitty kept his lies easy to remember by naming Alma's son after his father! C'mon even the Old Testament managed to lie better than that! He could have at least added a "Jnr" to differentiate. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #109 Mosiah 26: Welcome to Insane Peaks ** :: Total Assets $1,000,000 ($38,000,000,000) :: Brother Jones and Sister Patience blaze through a chapter, best described in the Book of Boredom group chat: "Jones and I just read 39 verses of some of the most boring bits of this entire shitty thing. WELL DONE JONES! We're nearly half way thru the BOM!" ~ Patience :: What is this chapter like? :: This chapter is like calling a contact-centre, and being redirected 5 times before the line finally drops, with no solution. This chapter is a bleeding example of the waste inherant in collectivism. This chapter is a game of "Pass the Parcel". This chapter is an example of how to hold a religious inqusition where no one dies. So, "yay!" for "no murder"! That's one small step for Smitty. This chapter mirrors modern day Mormon excommunication practices. Gee, I wonder where they got it from. Smitty just took 2 steps back. :: Other key points: :: Two true stories, where bad ideas from religion resulted in OCD, or OCD-like symptoms. Trump makes his way into 26:25. The church built a MODULAR TEMPLE! Ahaha. Tell your faithful Mormon parents about the Gospel Topic Essays. It's a mitzvah for their brain health! They will cause so much brain activity, that Alzheimers will be staved off by at least a decade! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #108 Mosiah 24-25: Nephite As a Second Language ** :: Amulon was a NASL teacher :: Brother Benjamin and Sister Patience get two chapters closer to the end of this abysmal book of Mosiah. We also loop back to some verses from the last chapter that made no sense, as Brother Benjamin interprets the atrocious prose. :: Key Amusements Include: :: Quote from Brother Benjamin: "I do not understand what is going on with this book." Who the fuck is Zenif again? The Book Of Mormon Rangers Return! Brother Benjamin tells us about his latest trip to the Burning-Man-esque "Element Eleven". Sister Patience tells about the "Dark Mofo" festival in Tasmania that made the news, and Brother Benjamin goes down a google rabbit-hole reading about it. God doesn't embarrass easily, clearly. The overtly repetative and full-of-fill Mosiah 24:23 - "And now the Lord said unto Alma: Haste thee and get thou and this people out of this land, for the Lamanites have awakened and do pursue thee; therefore get thee out of this land, and I will stop the Lamanites in this valley that they come no further in pursuit of this people." Smitty could have just written, "God said, leave quickly, the Lamanites are now awake and pursuing you, but I will stop them in the valley." Arghhhhh. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #107 Mosiah 23: Ask your bishop if Amulon is right for you ** :: Ignore the boredom and try AMULON :: In a last-ditch attempt to get Mosiah out of their lives, Gigi and Patience continue on to Mosiah 23 without a short stop roasting the "Saints" podcast. Don't worry, it will be roasted later, but right now it's in the fridge. Alma says: "Kings are bad", then says, "Well, they would be fantastic if only all kings were nice". From that, Smitty can still say whatever he wants later about himself. God decides to show how wonderful he is by not doing the obvious thing of saving the people who follow him. No, God decides to put his people into bondage, just so that he can save them later. Like a confidence trickster. Oh, and Amulon. Actually, if you just do whatever you want on Sunday, you won't need it. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #106 Mosiah 22: Gideon got Back! ** :: The back pass, thru the back wall, on the back side, BAAAAA. :: Sister Gigi and Sister Patience read the implausible escape story that is, Mosiah 22. Oh, and the wilderness continues to be a miraculous, yet un-mappable abyss where just about anything can happen. :: Our co-hosts also chime in on: :: The recent ban of the Bible in primary schools of the Davis school district in Utah. Chris Christie joins the fray to be US President. Tractors with AI and LASERS to kill weeds!

** #104 Roasting Saints 19 ** :: Temple Zero :: On "Saints" episode 19 they discuss the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. A historic site currently owned by the The Community of Christ sect of Mormonism, rather than the main "Motherchurch". The dedication sounded exactly like a regular Pentecostal mass-hypnosis session, complete with charismatic speakers that everyone seemed more than happy to listen to for hours at a time. Smitty and Rigdon must have felt so validated as they regurgitated King James style bastardisations of the English language to such a captive audience. This first temple is a far-cry from the Masonic hybrid that Mormon temples have become. So naturally, they wheel out the ye-olde "line-upon-line" explanation, as a hypnotic trigger to let themselves off-the-hook for any cognitive dissonace. Ben Godfrey even convinced himself that Smitty received the plans for this white-box by devine revelation. A design so simple, that if it were red, would resemble a hotel playing-piece from the board-game "Monopoly". He even name-dropped the Joseph Smith Papers website where we could check out the revelation for ourselves. Turns out it was just DNC 95. Ben seemed so sure that even the interior was described. It wasn't. Instead, Smitty just says what activities are to be performed inside his silly white box. If the Mothership ever manages to purchase this thing, I wonder if they'll stick a giant bathtub in there, and a stupid video describing Masonic handshakes? #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #102 Crazy Wacky Mormon Shit ** :: Get to the Temple and Drink the Koolaid! :: There's been a lot of crazy wacky Mormon shit in the news lately. Sister Divchina and Brother Ed, have been researching it all, so that YOU (and Sister Patience) don't have to! This might turn into a regular series, because the news stories seem to be breeding like, well... Mormons! :: Covered in this episode: :: Lori and Chad Daybell. Are they killing everyone by natural causes? Rusty Nelson's Temple Ritual Changes. With declining numbers willing to operate these monstrosities, Rusty streamlines your trip through hell with some automation. What's next? AI Joe? Heather Gay, from the show Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, comes out as a "Bad Mormon". Michael Haight kills everyone because his marriage breaks down. A giant statue of Joseph Smith finds a home in India's World Peace Dome. Whatever the fuck that is. They take a guy, who formed an army (albeit poorly), and put him in a "peace dome". Weird. Due to the war in Ukraine, imported leaders of the LDS church in Russia have escaped back to the US. Leaving the remaining Russian Mormons to realise, that if they can't practice English with native speakers over pot-luck meals, why go to church? Random silliness from the Bishop's Handbook.

** #095 Roasting Saints 15 ** :: Dying Alone on Video Chat :: We're really treated this week on "Saints" episode 15. Elder J Devin Cornish, from the Quorum of the Seventy, lends his sleep inducing voice to the inane rhetoric. If only he'd let Sarah Eyring say more, instead of overtalking her. I mean, it still would have been rhetoric, but it would have sounded beautiful, at least to Sister Patience. The Elder references the wrong scripture as inspiration for Doctrine And Covenants 76. He mentions John 5:39, but he mixed it up with John 5:29. One character different. Very different content though. Guess he was speaking "as a man" there and not "from God". Here are the two verses from the King Jimmy version: John 5:39 ~ "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." John 5:29 ~ "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." Smitty and Rigdon invent group improvisation, and "yes-and" themselves to D&C 76. William McLellin gets "dragged" by the "Saints" hosts for: Questioning Joseph. Leaving his mission early. Marrying instead of completing his mission. Accompanying (or leading?) a company of 100 Mormons to settle in Jackson County against Smitty's wishes. Buying land from the Government directly, instead of participating in Smitty's Communism Scheme called "The Law of Consecration". Rigdon literally gets dragged, and along with with Joseph is assaulted by a mob, in a disgusting display of vigilante "justice". The assaulted had been shitty; and in the absence of better law-enforcement, the assaulters felt permitted to punish them with emotionally fuelled violence. That's the wrong way to address grievances in ANY era. Shitty people on all sides. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #089 Roasting Rusty Nails ** :: Temples, Temples, Temples! :: Today we make fun of LDS church president/prophet/seer: Russel Nelson. Based on his speeches at the October 2022 LDS General Conference. :: Highlights :: The sound of Silky Misogyny. The Temples-Temples-Temples song! The hilarious confusion of Rusty's speech on "Rest". The preview Rusty showed at General Conference of Season 4 of the Book of Mormon video series. Too funny! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #088 Mosiah 7 ** :: Friendship isn't General Conference :: Ammon and his "strong and mighty men" become lost in the wilderness. After 40 days without women they realise: it's not gay if they're underway (Mosiah 7:5). Smitty takes innane analogies to the next level with his Whirlwind of Poison (Mosiah 7:30). Sister Patience is surprised to learn that the Mormon General Conference is held twice a year. The Exmos tell her tales of how their families survived these sleep inducing events. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #087 Roasting Saints 13 ** :: A Partridge in a Prickly Pear Tree :: Today we listen to Saints episode 13, and roast it until charred. How can you tell if a prophet is speaking as a regular human, or as a prophet? At what point are they just false prophets? Mormonism doesn't know, so it's no wonder Smitty could swindle his way to the top, even when his revelations were repeatedly shown to be undevine. :: Key Comments: :: Leman Copley leaves the church, and tells the commie Mormons mooching off his land, to get out of his yard! Smitty keeps moving where God tells him "Zion" will be. So now we have "Zions". But the truth is, Smitty was not a prophet, and was a con-man. Seeing is not believing. Ezra Booth apparently joined Joseph Smith's crew because he saw him heal someone's arm. But Ezra clearly held prophets to higher standards than some of his peers. When Smitty's revelations didn't hold water, Ezra left the church. I guess he re-evaluated what once seemed like proof, to be much less. Joseph gets served some truth while canooing with "friends". #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #086 Christianese Proto-Waffle ** :: And it came to pass that Genetics says nayyyyy :: Brother Jones makes some shitty waffles. Smitty narrates his character of King Benjamin waffling-on, like a drunk telling a disorganised story recursively. I wonder why? We discuss the Founder Effect: the loss of genetic variation observable in isolated people groups established by very few "founders". Because they are isolated, the groups receive little or no new genetic information over time, from the larger population they are isolated from. The term is often used when the isolating factor is geographical, but the effect holds true when the reason is social (including religious). Infamously obvious in the birth defects of inbred royal families, such as the Habsburgs of the middle-ages. Much less pronounced, the effect has been cited as the cause of skeletal birth anomalies amongst the Amish of the United States. And as we discuss, the founder effect created by ye olde polygamous Mormon families cannot be doing anything good for their health. Especially when young men have a tendency to be excommunicated, and patriarchs collect wives like they are trapping Pokemon. :: Other High or Low lights: :: Jesus gives the best head (Mosiah 5:8). The dire consequences for amnesia (Mosiah 5:9-12). Smitty doesn't remember the 70000 Israelis that died the last time a Jewish king tried to take a census (2 Samuel 24), and narrates his King Benji character taking a roll call (Mosiah 6:1). King Benji remembers the people had houses after keeping them impractically in tents for no reason (Mosiah 6:3). #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #084 Mosiah 4: Indiana Joseph ** :: And the ventriloquist king! :: Indiana Joseph wants us to know that King Benji, and his silly angel are not ventriloquists. But primarily, he wants your stuff. All your stuff. And he wants you to BELIEVE so hard you might get a Cher song stuck in your head. Coz none of Mosiah 4 will stay with you. It's teflon coated, and says nothing new. It's pure rambling. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #083 Roasting Saints 11: In the Morridor... ** :: ...there is evil that does not sleep :: In the early years of the land of small government, Mormonism is so toxic, that the government steps in and tells the door-to-door Mormon salesmen to fuck all the way off. Oh, and so does Abigail Williams! Smitty rides into town, swinging his massive dick around, and Sidney Rigdon knows he can't measure up. So he puts his member away, and hands his members over to Smitty. :: Other Discussions: :: C'mon lawyers, get those class action suits against the LDS corporation in, help compensate victims, and let's bankrupt this mofo. Arizona: the crotch of Utah. The Morridor: a column of land choc-full of Mormons from Rexburg in Idaho, to Phoenix in Arizona. There is wickedness there that does not sleep. As a kid, Brother Jones' Boy Scouts troupe was so well lead by wilderness experts, that they only became lost in the mountains twice! #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #082 Mosiah 3: Bloody Clean ** :: A poetry slam at Ikea while scouring aluminium cookware with a Brillo pad. :: What can anyone say about this innane compressed wombat shit?

Unless he's talking about the words themselves." #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #079 The Roast of Susan Bednar's Husband ** :: Bednarator 2026 - I AM SCRIPTURE :: We take a break from roasting "Saints" this week, to roast an "apostle". Join us as we bang-out a shallow-dive into David Bednar's greatest analogies, and miraculous redefinitions. Can we find the ticking heart in the healthiest looking cyborg sitting on the Quorum of the Twelve? :: Memorable Moment 1: :: Sister Gigi: "He [Bednar] has a Masters of Arts degree in Organisational Communication. That just means if you were reading the book 1984 by George Orwell, this is the guy that's in charge of the Ministry of Information." :: Memorable Moment 2: :: Brother Jones' response to seeing the Singing Preacher from Poltergeist II (who is a dead-ringer for The Bednarator) "That's a lot of teeth right there!" :: Assorted Brownie Chunks: :: Mormon "Don't ask don't tell". Sister Gigi gives Doctor Brad a shitty xmas present. "This is REAL COFFEEEEEE!" What's in Utah's sewer water?

** #077 Roasting Saints #09 ** :: Obadiah Dogberry Esq narrowly escapes the audacious power of Joseph Smith Bum-Leg Jr :: The team also discuss the strange LDS economics of New Zealand. To which the correct response is, "Isn't it all strange?" :: In lighter banter: :: Sister Gigi tells how she came into posession of Camilla the El Camino. Brother Benji prepares for a Burning Man style "Regional Burn". Sister Patience loses patience with the Mormon Stories podcast. Sister Gigi defends it (1) as a sleep aid and (2) as background chatter while doing chores.

Shiur 81 of Meseches Shabbos, Bekius Shiur (Sunday). Daf 19a, b.

** #075 Roasting Saints #08 ** :: (I|Mo)ronic Priesthood :: Smitty takes his boy-toy Chowdery out into the forest, and hypnotically convinces him they were both visited by John the Baptist. Naturally they both get wet. Back in the real world, disharmony in Harmony provokes Smitty to find a sweet gig elsewhere. He and Mr Slave (Chowdery), get free lodgings and food, just to write fiction all day. They didn't even need to do chores! Upon completion of his amazing new golden plate prop, Smitty convinces his dad to try it out on Mary Whitmore. It worked so well, he eventually used it on 8 other people! He had surpassed Moses, because sometimes the sacred items in his hefted box could be inspected! And he really enjoyed inspecting boxes. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #073 Roasting Saints #07 ** :: I Saw Mommy Fisting Santa Claus :: Oliver Cowdry has a go at translating. But was it with the Urim and Thummim, or Smitty's pet rock? So, "heft your box", get "innoculized", and try not to look "old like Skeletor". :: Memorable Quote 1: :: (re: crazy arguments of the faithful, who then call sane people crazy for not "getting" it) Sister Gigi: "Jesus Christ stop pissing on my leg and telling me it's rain!" Sister Patience: "It's a spiritual golden shower, Gigi!" :: Memorable Quote 2: :: Sister Gigi: "He put his head into a hat, and pulled shit out of his ass, and that is the Book of Mormon." #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #072 Holland and Oaks try to save England ** :: Jarom 1 :: So Enos (pronounced like "penis"), spawned Jarom (pronounced like "share 'em"). Smitty knew he had to skip some centuries in his silly story, and Jarom was another of his non-sensical lack-lustre stepping-stones. This one chapter book is so badly written, that in verse 4, Brother Jones messes up regurgitating Smitty's double-reformed-Egyptian 3 times in a row. And then conceeds to let Sister Patience read it, by saying, "take it away, Gigi!". We also discuss a few other things, like WTF is this "second annointing" horseshit? Which inevitably leads to the fateful tale of hippy-dippy performance duo "Holland and Oaks". :: Memorable Quote: :: Brother Jones (reading verse 7): "And it came to pass that they came many times against us - gross!" #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

** #071 Roasting Saints #06 ** :: Lucy Harris is Rad :: Lucy Harris was a wonderfully sane person, but the hosts of "Saints" make her sound crazy. Gaslit from the grave. Her arch nemesis - Lucy Mack (so many Lucys) - posthumously retconned Harris as a witness to the divinity of the Silly Book, when she wasn't alive to contradict the scam. And she knew it was a scam! Even Lucy Harris' gravestone, which was clearly made by Mormons, is a travesty. Gravestones are supposed to have the date of death, but they didn't know when she died! They would have known, if she was a loved member of their community, but she was likely not in contact with them much after leaving her husband Martin, 6 years earlier. Unfortunately, the only people to really record any of Harris' history, was Lucy Mack and Co. Who had invested interest in twisting this awesome skeptic into a witness of The Book of Mormon. The artwork for this episode is Sister Patience's attempt to fix Lucy Harris' gravestone, while still containing most of the biographical info (which was largely about her descendants and husband because they didn't know her at all).
