Monetize ponderize

[_Jonah]

I'm thinking of trying to market the word "Pornderize". You know, pick out a porno, ponder it for a week, then watch it over the weekend to a happy ending. Since Utah leads the nation in porn subscriptions, I might have come upon something here ("That's what she said!!" LOL!!!)

Doesn't sound like priestcraft to me.

General Authoritycraft? Seems to shout, "We at a prophetic and entrepreneurial people".

Or "Ponderbate"

Intimidated by very large shrimp? You can free yourself of that anxiety by getting our new Prawnderizer mallet. Flatten out those fearful critters then simply dip them if tempura batter and fry in the wok. All necessary ingredient from your friends at the Deseret Book Emporium.

Shouldn't that be "panderize?"

I just laughed so loud it had to be covenant breaking.

[_I have a question]

Looks like a guy named Reverend David Morrison came out with a book advocating "ponderize" as related in some way to scripture study last year.

Think on These Things: A Time to 'Ponderize' (Joyful Living) (Volume 1) Paperback – Large Print, January 19, 2014

by Rev David E Morrison (Author)

Coincidence?

Durrant's hole is getting deeper.....

I haven't found anything in the book to suggest it constitutes a combination of ponder and memorize. What leads you to believe it's unlikely they came up with the word independently?

[_consiglieri]

It is always possible they came up with the word independently.

What I think we have to compare is (1) the unusual nature of the word itself; (2) the proximity in time to the 2014 publication of the "ponderize" book by Rev. David Morrison; and, (3) the fact that they are both used in a religious context related to scripture.

Also I am starting to think that the possibility that Elder Durrant was aware of this book may help explain some of his statements.

For example:

Although we didn't invent the term, as far as we know our use of it is unique.

Elder Durrant appears to be familiar with a prior usage of the term, but claims a unique usage.

Are there any other candidates than Reverend David Morrison's book?
