Tent City! Tent City! Tent City!

I'll be at my grandmothers house in St Anthony. Hopefully that is close enough.

Sorry it looks like the devastation has already hit St Anthony.

Apparently Julie Rowe's book is not on the church's recommended reading list for seminary...

Publication Caution: A Greater Tomorrow: My Journey Beyond the Veil


Additional Information: [August 31, 2015] In 2014, Spring Creek Book Company published A Greater Tomorrow: My Journey Beyond the Veil by Julie Rowe (see shaded box for Amazon’s description of the book). Although Sister Rowe is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her book is not endorsed by the Church and should not be recommended to students or used as a resource in teaching them. The experiences she shares are her own personal experiences and do not necessarily reflect Church doctrine or they may distort Church doctrine.

And...

Rumor: Generals in the War in Heaven


Additional Information: The following quote attributed to President Boyd K. Packer and other General Authorities continues to be circulated throughout the Church: “You were once generals in the war in heaven and one day, when
you are again in the spirit world, you will be enthralled with those
whom you will associate with. You will ask someone in which
time period they lived and you might hear, ‘I was with Moses when he parted the Red Sea,’ or
‘I helped build the pyramids,’ or ‘I fought with Captain Moroni.’ As you are standing there in
amazement someone will turn to you and ask, ‘which of the
prophets’ time did you live in?’ When you say, ‘Gordon B. Hinckley’s . . . ,’ a hush will fall
over every hall and corridor in heaven and all in attendance will
bow at your presence. You were held back 6000 years because
you were the most talented, the most obedient, the most courageous, and the most righteous. Are you still?”

On 12 February 2001, President Boyd K. Packer sent a letter to mission presidents refuting the quote.

Oh, man, I loved that one.

Oh, man, I loved that one.

That quote got mad play when I was in seminary. Always made me roll my eyes. Then, in my senior year, all the teachers read a statement about how that quote is bunk and to stop repeating it.

I've got room for one other family so put your request in now. Myself I'm heading to St. George, if I'm starving at least I want to be warm.

Just a heads-up, the old people in St. George hate cyclists. I've got room for you in Cedar, though.

I'm about 90 minutes into the Hardcore History podcast "Prophets of Doom" with 16th century Tent City folks. I keep noticing similarities between old-timey crazies and our crazies.

Is this the one on the anabaptists, munzter, etc? The thing that strikes me about most of these wars of religion of the 16th & 17th century is that they really weren't about religion at all; rather, they were social causes dressed up in religious clothing (there was a certain amount of fervor, to be sure, but the impetus to radicalization was driven by other factors).

It makes me wonder what social factors are at work with Rowe et alia.

I might have to bust out my Baumgartner book, Longing for the End.

Yes, that's the one. This morning, I just got to the part where the young, charismatic prophet, whose first name starts with J, tells the Anabaptists that the Lord has commanded them that they should start polygamy.

Unlike the earlier stuff relating to Tent City, I am having a hard time finding a good analog for this part.

Cougarstadium got a mention on the John Dehlin podcast on Julie Rowe.

Cougarstadium got a mention on the John Dehlin podcast on Julie Rowe.

Tent City! Tent City! Tent City!

What did they say?

[Dwight Schr-ute]

Tent City! Tent City! Tent City!

What did they say?

Probably a public call to repentance.

[Commando]

Tent City! Tent City! Tent City!

What did they say?

Probably something about how witty the posters are as they take these loonies to task.

If you are feeling a little drained then you just have to give Julie Rowe $25 and join in on one of her "energy healing" hour long conference calls. She'll ease your fears.

So in case you are thinking about dropping $25 on a Julie Rowe conference call to ease your fears about the pending apocalypse, save your money... John Dehlin just posted a recording of one on his podcast:

I wonder if she mentions cougar stadium? JL, maybe you should start charging folks $10 to read this thread.

Did Jeremiah charge money before you could hear that Jerusalem would be destroyed?

Did Jeremiah charge money before you could hear that Jerusalem would be destroyed?

Payable in Babylonian currency.

[Commando]

Seems like a pretty tight business model! Glad we're now down with priestcraft...

Swish!

I hope Samuel the Lamanite got hazard pay for his conference call...

Not that I'm suggesting that any of these visions are true, but as the saying goes... Karma's a bitch.
