Episode 143: D&C 44 - Section 61 Jan 21, 2017

Show notes

In the most hydrating revelation yet, Joseph has a boating accident. Here's hoping you don't drown from imperfect faith! It's the episode where Bryce and Marie are unable to remember what verse they're on.

Episode 142: D&C 43 - Section 60 Jan 14, 2017

Show notes

Poor Edward Partridge can't catch a break, what with all the micromanagement. Joseph, Oliver, and Sidney (Rigdon) are on their way to Cincinnati, while his other buddies are sent to St. Louis. They're all instructed to make haste while not speedily returning, and somehow God's jewels are involved.

Drink count - 6, or a little less than a beer. Eth count - 4

Episode 141: D&C 42 - Section 59 (feat. Jim Van Heel) Jan 07, 2017

Show notes

Jim teaches us the hierarchical structure of the church because Marie doesn't know what a General Authority is, and be advised that Duke of Earl Grey is now the show's General Authority (woo hoo!). Joseph Smith repeats a semblance of the 10 commandments, and really that's it. Turns out going to the Bishop to confess is a Thing that happens, and apparently we're supposed to be happy when we're fasting. It's bad to be wasteful and don't be a jerk, and be an environmentalist. Got questions? Scoot, god doesn't have time for them.

Job is a man/chapter in the Bible.

I swear I learned a song in Sunday School that used the verse "love the lord thy god with all they heart", but I couldn't find one with a familiar tune, so really all I did was royally mess up my YouTube video recommendations. I recommend listening to anything from Chvrches, they're pretty cool, and you can say "I'm listening to Chvrch music!"

Drink count - 10, or a bit over one beer

Episode 140: D&C 41- Section 58, Part 2 Dec 31, 2016

Show notes

Ask not what the church can do for you, but what you can do for your church. If you need a revelation from god to tell you what to do, woe betide you, for you are slothful. For shame! Cross your fingers that all new revelations supersede previous ones, so we all hope that this one no longer matters because Joseph Smith is hypocritical all over the place.

Drink count - 13, plus one extra drink for tomfoolery in revelatory contradictions, and one extra drink for "and bring to pass"

Episode 139: D&C 40 - Section 58, part 1 Dec 17, 2016

Show notes

Patriarchal blessings - how do they work? Punctuation and verse allocation - why don't they work? Heaven - HOW DOES THAT WORK?

Joseph tells the believers to throw a party with the rich and educated on the VIP list, because who needs consistency with the Book of Mormon when Zion has been found? Edward Partridge is treated like a toddler for (apparently) making bad decisions, but that's okay, he's still the Bishop in charge of the Bishop's Storehouse.

Drink Count - 12, or a bit over one beer.

Episode 138: D&C 39 - Section 57 Dec 10, 2016

Show notes

First - don't do drugs unless you're in a religious business meeting. Second, new writer or Oliver Cowdry? You decide. Much parentheses, very comma, so administration, wow. Who cares, now we know where Zion is! It's on the other side of the courthouse in the vacant lot, btw. Praise Heavenly Father.

Drink count - 6, or about 1 beer

Episode 137: D&C 38 - Sections 55 and 56 Dec 03, 2016

Show notes

If you leave the church you can get back all the money you donated to it. Caveat, this only works if your name is Ezra Thayre. Poor-shaming!

Episode 136: D&C 37 - Sections 53 and 54 Nov 26, 2016

Show notes

In the aftermath of the LDS Church's first major business meeting Joseph Smith continues to solve short-term problems by sending everyone to Missouri. We spend the first half of the episode talking about why the entire country was moving to Missouri because of the absolutely horrid Indian Removal Act just put into place by President Jackson. The Mormons didn't do anything to influence or support this act! They sure do benefit from it though (in the short-term, at least).

Drink count - 10, or about a beer and a half, but really, just drink 10 beers!

Episode 135: D&C 36 - Section 52 Nov 19, 2016

Show notes

The first ever Big Important Business Meeting of the newly formed church has concluded. Joseph revelates 33 of his VIPs right out into the wilderness (Missouri), and lets us know that another Big Important Business Meeting will happen out there, eventually, when they get around to it. Rejoice, they're about to take the land of their inheritence from the people who have lived on the promised land for that last millenia! Wait, perhaps rejoicing in the future takeover of Native American lands shouldn't be rejoiced about? Oh man, American history is ugly AF.

Drink count - 11 (or about a beer and half)

Episode 134: D&C 35 - Section 51 (Feat. David Michael and Joel Kuhn) Nov 12, 2016

Show notes

David Michael returns! We learn that if you're supposed to give everything to the church, and if you're bad then you lose access to all the stuff you gave away. So... be good?

Drink count - 2 (which is good, because we were very hungover)
