Yes, there have been a couple of threads talking about this. They're packaging up the Mormon idea of the Holy Ghost (which Pixar does a much better job of producing) and trying to sell it.

I was absolutely shocked when I first heard about this. And I didn't think anything about the LDS church could shock me anymore.

I even posted on that thread!


I wonder how involved Bonneville and their Heartsell product are with General Conference?

Mormons can no longer claim a non professional clergy since obviously these trained professional heartsell* guys have taught all leadership how to fake the Spirit.

Is 'Heartsell' the only method for determining if the Book of Mormon is true?
Because Bonneville International seem to be describing a method for manufacturing exactly that feeling which Mormon's say should be used to determine truth.
