You can get your share of that down in the TELESTIAL board:

SECOND TOKEN OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD

I've taken great pains to slam those evil ritualistic Mormon cult practices. Hopefully, it will influence others NOT to participate in those abominable practices. The temple penalties is evil Mormonism to the extreme. The whole world needs to know about it in full and living color. The church needs to own up to this evil practice it performed for most of its existence. No sweeping it under the rug. The whole world is going to know. It's going to be a matter of universal public knowledge and the Mormons are going to have to learn to deal with it.

Just give the cojcolds time and they will take over the Catholics as the #1 church. How can seer stones and invented scripture fail in the end? Add in a little polygamy, pedophile scandals from time to time, and hidden finances, and it is a can't miss investment! Further, this meeting with the Pope may mean merger talks might be on the table?? Time to go long cojcolds, inc!!

Years ago, there was a NBA fan who sat very near the opposing team's bench during games. When Michael Jordan would come to play at this fan's arena, the fan would bring a very unflattering biography of Jordan to the game and loudly read from it during time outs and other breaks in the action. It was very entertaining to watch, especially his teammates who were obviously trying to keep a straight face when some of the more salacious parts were being read.

In like manner, someone should show up at any ceremony involving LDS and Catholic church officials there in Rome and read from McConkie's Mormon Doctrine 1st edition...

They could start here under the section "Church of the Devil":

Church of the Devil. See Apostacy, Babylon, Devil, Second Coming of Christ, World. There are two scriptural senses in which the titles church of the devil and great and abominable church are used: 1. All churches or organizations of whatever name or nature-whether political, philosophical, educational, economic, social, fraternal, civic, or religious-which are designed to take men on a course that leads away from God and his laws and thus from salvation in the kingdom of God, and 2. The Roman Catholic Church specifically-singled out, set apart, described, and designed as being "most abominable above all other churches"

Man you have got to love McConkie, no holding back there. It's a shame he did not live long enough to make prophet. Can you imagine?

Another choice section might be "Harlots":

See Church of the Devil, Sex Immorality, Literally an harlot is a prostitute; figuratively it is any apostate church. Nephi, speaking of harlots in the literal sense and while giving a prophetic description of the Catholic Church, recorded that he "saw the devil that he was the foundation of it," and he "saw many harlots," and that among other things "the harlots" were "the desires of this great and abominable church? (1 Ne. 13:6-80 Then, speaking of harlots in the figurative sense, he designated the Catholic Church as "the mother of harlots" (1 Ne. 13:34; 14:15-17), a title which means that the protestant churches, the harlot daughters which broke off from the great and abominable church, would themselves also be apostate churches. John Saw and recorded similar things. He wrote of the great and abominable church as "the great whore that sitteth upon many waters," and specified that "upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Rev. 17:1-5

This just in from CNN Headline News:

President Russell Nelson is quoted by our Mormon correspondent, Nephi Rameupton in Rome, when asked what was most rewarding in his audience with Pope Francis , Nelson stated " I have never felt the Spirit so strong as when the Pope hugged me and whispered " it is time for you and the few Mormons left on the planet to come home, and bring your $50 billion with you." Nelson continued: " I felt like I was in the presence of Jesus Himself. I must go back to Salt Lake City and ponder what is next for our remnant church."

In a short interview with Pope Francis, Rameupton reported the pope looked puzzled when asked about his meeting with the Mormon leader and said " Tell me again who that guy is- I thought he was bringing me tea, then he hugged me- it's tough being pope you know- you meet all kinds"

Pious poobahs exchange the sure sign of the nail, secret combinations confirmed.

Interestingly, the pictures accompanying the Deseret news article show the men folk posing for pictures and glad handing and in meaningful conversation together (presumably comparing notes about the number of sexual abusers within each other’s clerical ranks and how to keep such things out of the press), whilst the women are pictured helping in the kitchen.

I wondered if Rusty had a fat envelope for Franky. You know, Rusty's got a new temple in town. Would be a shame if anything happened to it.

It’s not really “in town”. It’s on the outer ring road next to a shopping centre and large Ikea, and a 3 hour walk away from the Vatican.

Sounds like lots of places to dump your Euros.

Don't worry, Franky can reach Rome.
