And I know, I know, controversy there, but any church that spends so much on political donations cause my eyebrow to raise. For a religion that claims to be christ-like, they have no problem spending millions of dollars to make sure they can uphold their beliefs in your life, no matter what you believe.
In fact, I was able to hack into the Live Feed for the General Conference 2011 for your entertainment. Here's a clip:
egad...
Also happening on Saturday was a Jehovah's Witnesses conference at the local Civic Auditorium. Cars were lined up for blocks, so much so that this had to be a multi-city event.
All those Jehovah's Witnesses in a mormon town? I smell a rumble a-la-Jets-v-Sharks about to happen.
Watch out for spontaneous dance numbers.
I guess when you take the Mormons out of the equation, parties just aren't the same?
Oh well. Happy October. My mormon readers, I hope GC was informative and educational for you. Maybe the church should teach some real-life lessons as well?
Like explaining what a Farrier is, instead of having one of your people with a 'Dr.' in front of his name think it's a homosexual term?
"You know, it's like when two gay guys are together, and one of them is farrier than the other?"
To the rest of you, happy Sunday.

I live in Salt Lake where it's Mormonpalooza every Sunday. We went to Oktoberfest a couple weekends in a row (on Sunday no less) and it's always packed. Guess all the good Mormons go to Idaho and Utah gets the one's like me. Sucka!
Oktoberfest empty? Impossible. You should go to one in Germany; its insane. The beer; it never ends.
idaho sounds like a scarey place with all these mormon creatures everywhere running things
An emptty Oktoberfest.. Takemewithhyou...
Wow nice blog. Following. The real Oktoberfest is just awesome. I got to go there next year.
I thought Mormons were those hippo type things in that European cartoon.
I freaking love the thought of a Jehova's Witness/Mormon dance rumble. But the Jehova's have Prince, so they'd probably win.
An empty Octoberfest? Tragic.
I can't help but be reminded of the SNL TV Funhouse song "Christmas Time for the Jews" when I read this. They should make a Mormon version!
How funny! My GF is in Idaho this week. lol.
Very interesting, I think it would very different to live in such a religious state. How weird going to a an Oktoberfest with low attendance. Hope you at least had a little fun down by the river though :) I had no idea such a big conference took place there this weekend

Jehovah's Witnesses is illegal in Singapore and Mormonism is frowned upon.
Which makes me sad, because the Mormon dudes giving out pamphlets are very attractive. On TV, anyway.
It's good to finally be reading your blog again! I have been gone for a long time, but I'm trying to get back into the loop. I love your commentary on mormonism... really cuts it down to the true basics.
