Viva la priesthood! Women not invited. Basically an influx of new members are increasing the need for middle management. Additionally, here are some specific revelations included that didn't come true or are contradictory.

1. The new city of Zion will be built in the Temple Lot. 2. It will happen in this generation (the 1832 generation). 3. No one will pollute Jackson County.

Drink count – 5, or a little less than one beer

Episode 159: D&C 59 - Sections 81, 82, 83 May 20, 2017

Show notes

July 29, 2017 eveningish, meet up with us at Squatter's Pub in Salt Lake City. We'll probably record a live episode and would love to have you there!!

Jesse Gause is called to be a high counselor to Joseph Smith in his very own revelation, except then history is rewritten to make it be a revelation for Frederick G Williams. Joseph's inner circle is back, now with nicknames! Everyone is exceedingly sinful/steadfastly good. Go get more converts, especially ones with money. Zion needs to pretty itself up. It's the episode where Marie and Bryce rant about the Prosperity Doctrine.

Episode 158: D&C 58 - Sections 78, 79, 80 May 13, 2017

Show notes

Help us make the 1876 D&C into something usable! Email Joel Kuhn at dccompare@gmail.com to help with the proofreading. Thanks!

The poor are established (built up, not created) via the United Firm. This is a fancy way to say the church is setting up a welfare system for members of the church.

Joseph revelates himself into a nickname, and maybe a city? You must be equal here on earth to get equal things in heaven (except some people are MORE equal). If you want to get into heaven make sure you're doing all the things you're supposed to down here. Joseph and his peeps get code names. CODE NAMES (omg). Adam-on-diamon is a place where the big wigs give their keys to Jesus via Adam, who will usher in the end times.

Episode 155: D&C 55 - Section 76, part 1 Apr 22, 2017

Show notes

What happens to us when you die? Resurrection 1 - good people. Resurrection 2 - bad people. Lucifer is bad and is now in hell. Punctuation is terrible, almost as terrible as apostacy!! Marie and Bryce will be there, drinking coffee, ruling alongside Lucifer, and wondering about why their worm is dead. The good people (men) are of the Church of the Firstborn and become (men) gods. All ur stuff r belong to Christ. Christ is middle management to God, so all ur stuff r belong to God.

Drink count - 4 (so lame, do shots instead)

Episode 154: D&C 54 - Section 75 Apr 15, 2017

Show notes

CORRECTION: Cleveland was never the capital of Ohio. At this point in history it was Columbus.

Have fun in sales! Everyone is a vineyard. It's a throwback to last June when everyone was being sent out to be like a trump unto the wilderness. Bryce almost has an aneursym because he wants to tell me all about these dudes who are about to do stuff in the church, but NO, NO SPOILERS. After you die you get to judge the people who treated you poorly!!!

Check out this fine list of Wikipedia page links:

William E McLellan - He wrote lots of journals Luke Johnson - Brother of Lyman Johnson Orson Hyde - Used to be anti-Mormon, then converted when his pastor, Sidney Rigdon joined up with Joseph Smith Samuel Smith - Joseph Smith's younger brother Lyman Johnson - Brother of Luke Johnson Orson Pratt - Joined the same time as his brother, Parley Pratt Asa Dodds - Just a dude. Calves Wilson - "Little else is known about him" Major Ashley - From Massachusetts! Burr Riggs - Known for frothing at the mouth and getting revelations by hitting his head against the wall. Simeon Carter - Farmer! Emer Harris - Just a dude Ezra Thayer - Built bridges, dams, and mills, from Palmyra Thomas B Marsh - An original member from way back in the way back Hiram Smith - Joseph Smith's brother Reynolds Cahoon - Just a dude (for now) Daniel Stanton - Just a dude. Seymore Brudson - Junest a dude (for now) Sylvester Smith - Bryce really likes him in 1834. In 1832, not really of note. Gideon Carter - Just a dude. Ruggles Eames - Just a dude. Not a teddy bear. Steven Burnett - Just a dude. Micah B Welton - Just a dude. Eden Smith - Just dude.

Stephen Hawking threw a party for time travellers.

Episode 153.5 - An unplanned week off Apr 08, 2017

Show notes

Marie takes a week off because ouch ouch root canals ouch ouch. Be advised the chapter 74 *is* a time jump back to 1830, it wasn't a misprint last week.

Regular shows will return next week!

Episode 153: D&C 53 - Sections 73 and 74 (with a baptist minister!) Apr 01, 2017

Show notes

Read along with us at Joelakuhn.com/dc-compare

The PR problem caused by Ezra Booth's anti-Mormon shenanigans have died down, so now it's time to return to what you were doing. Joseph and Sidney are to go back to translating the bible. Then we jump back in time to 1830 to talk about baptism (sort of). Did you know that circumcision and baptism are kinda sorta related? Bring on the Baptist perspective!

Drink count - 5, or barely a beer if you take huge swigs
