Looking at Durrant's timeline he's been #ponderize-info for a long time. Back in March he even tried making #PZ the abbreviation for #ponderize

I'm calling it now: If he ever speaks in GC again, he'll talk about how his family has been STRYVE-ing. Sincerely Trying Very Enthusiastically. STRYVE.com. It'll be a thing.

Good guess.

I am predicting that next conference he is going to roll out ®Mediliken. While reading the scriptures, you should meditate and try to liken them unto yourselves. Cha-ching.

Been working all night, so I missed the afternoon session. Sounds like this one was the most interesting.

[falafel]

Not me. But he did bring some brisket to share with the basses during the break between sessions. It was tasty.

Last conference you said there were only two mustachioed members of the choir. Now you're denying that either one is you! Time to come clean: do you really have a mustache?

Because he had a sweet mid-range game, I listened to his entire talk, but after about his 20'th use of the word "ponderize", I did start to cringe.

I saw two mustachioed men (I didn't count how many sisters) on the telecast today - one with dark hair, the other more, um, distinguished.

Exactly, and copelius claims he isn't either of them!

Hmmm. Seems suspicious.

[SCcoug]

I saw at least 3 dudes with a 'stache.

[Crockett]

Oh good grief. Shoot me now.

What bothered me more was the hideous backsplash in the kitchen during the dramatization.

[pellegrino]

Apparently the Durrant kid has a facebook page, twitter account, pinterest page, etc. All set up before conference to monetize the ®Ponderize brand.

My feelings have gone from mild amusement to genuine disgust. That is shameless.

Sounds like a job for Peggy Fletcher Stack!

she's too late, though

So was the term 'ponderize' correlated? Or were there likely some GAs sitting on the dais thinking "wth is he talking about?" For me it was too bad because I have such fond memories of those halcyon days of Fred Roberts, Danny Ainge and Devin Durrant. I am glad I didn't know then what sort of mischief lurked within Durrant's scoring machine body.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Be careful with your ponderizing.

And there is a spiritual danger in treating the scriptures solely as a collection of interchangeable, sentence-length citations. This way of understanding the scriptures promotes proof-texting rather than reading. And it is very easy to “prove” all kinds of stuff by constructing acontextual chains of proof texts from random passages in the standard works. If I can take one sentence from 1 Corinthians, combine it with another sentence from Leviticus, and throw in a metaphor from the Psalms, I can demonstrate to anybody’s satisfaction that God has a body, or that He doesn’t have a body, or that he has three heads. Let me throw in a verse from Ecclesiastes, and I am pretty sure that I could prove that He is a baked potato.

But proof-texting is not a strategy for understanding stuff; it is a strategy for arguing about stuff—for proving ourselves right and other people wrong. And once this becomes the goal of our scripture study, we have already lost the Kingdom of God.
