mormonism: December 2007 Archives

Let the counter-PR spoofery onslaught continue! What I find particularly insulting about this one is how they attempt to position themselves as champions of racial equality while dancing completely around the skeletons in their own closet. Shame on you Betty, (or whoever you really are), for selling out.

Good news (un)faithful readers and podcast listeners! Your diligent work on the Web is starting to show returns. Mormon "apostle" Melvin Russell Ballard wants the faithful to step up the blogging!

 “We cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what the Church teaches.”

Before you get too excited imagining the hoards of devoted young believers falling over themselves to follow your counsel, consider the humble numbers of this single blog. Last year, the Eight Hour Lunch Podcast was downloaded 14,582 times. Since January 1, 2007 this single site has served over 33,530 pages. And I've done a piss-poor job of keeping it current.

Your days are numbered. Show some dignity and bow out while there's still a chance of history regarding you kindly.
