Episode #295 – Come and Rapture the World Away




This Week in Mormons show

Summary: General Conference is upon us! And what an #LDSCONF it'll be. Per usual, we have our topic and temple predictions, but given the three vacancies in the Quorum of the Twelve, we, with the help of the interwebs, also have some thoughts on potential callings to the Twelve; all in jest, of course. We know how that stuff is actually handled.<br> <br> What the heck went on with this blood moon stuff? October is here and we are alive. Julie Rowe has basically called it quits. The Church was forced to call her out. Crazy things are happening. Rapture4Eva.<br> <br> The great Tom Mon Jovi was mostly well received, yet many of you do not seem to understand what we are about. So let's work through this together while we mock your emails.<br> <br> Links:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865637915/President-Nelson-reflects-on-being-an-Apostle-of-the-Lord-discusses-possible-announcement-of-3-new.html?pg=all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Nelson reflects on his time as apostle</a><br> * <a href="http://ldschurchgrowth.blogspot.com/2015/09/new-temple-predition-map-september-2015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temple predictions!</a><br> * <a href="http://www.standard.net/Faith/2015/09/28/Mormon-apostle-Richard-G-Scott-s-funeral-draws-thousands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elder Scott funeral</a><br> * <a href="http://approachingjustice.net/2015/09/29/october-madness-who-will-be-the-next-apostles-ldsconf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October Madness!</a><br> * <a href="http://bycommonconsent.com/2015/09/27/who-will-be-the-next-mormon-apostles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The deep bench for new apostles</a><br> * <a href="http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2015/09/the-general-conference-mirth-index-take-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Conference Mirth Index</a><br> * <a href="http://www.sltrib.com/news/3006921-155/lds-church-history-museum-reopens-with?fullpage=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Church History Museum reopens</a><br> * <a href="http://kutv.com/news/local/lds-church-pushes-back-against-speculation-of-imminent-apocalypse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julie Rowe gives up</a><br> * <a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865637891/Jesus-the-Christ-is-100-years-old-this-year.html?pg=all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesus the Christ turns 100</a><br>
