#lds things

anyway my favorite mormon joke made by a nonmormon was in an episode of Skyjacks, wish i could remember which one; someone says something like 'we need more men here' and JPC in-character responds something like 'uh, i think they prefer to be called church of jesus christ of latter-day saints' and its my favorite joke because a) i was so ready for that to be a belittling jab that it actually took me a second to realize it was actually very funny, b) i learned recently that my best friend who studied comparative religions didn't even know what the deal was with 'mormon' vs 'lds' so the fact that JPC knew enough mormon lore to make an informed joke and he stuck to an actual funny one is a delight, and c) i'm pretty sure no one else in the scene even clocked the joke

second draft of 'letter to the first presidency to express sorrow over new exclusionary policy' is currently a three-page talk including scriptural references. am i understanding the assignment??

heres some more mormon stuff: I skipped out on 2 of the last 4 weeks of church because didnt wanna, so i don't know if my ward has been singing any of the new songs, but i hung out in the foyer after church to kill time before the library opened and heard the ward after us singing Come Thou Font, and i was super jealous *fingerguns*
