How Many Mormon Apologists To Screw In A Light Bulb?

Post by _Infymus »

Oldy but goody.

Question: How many Mormon apologists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Answer: Thirty.

One to screw it in.

Three to "peer review" it.

Twenty-Six others to explain why the light bulb never turned on (or maybe it did, but that depends on your definition of "light" and how it relates to the perception of man, and/or the social limitations of the 1800's and the effects on our customs today, and/or the fact that we don't know *exactly* what the light bulb was made of, and therefore it may or may not of given off light as witnessed, but it's sacred and we can't talk about "the details" of this matter).

I was gonna say 31, with the additional one to bring the refreshments.
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

Silly, that the Relief Society's job! Since they're women they don't figure in the original head count!

There can be women apologists in the count, in my opinion, in my opinion.

Fair, enough, I suppose if we are talking about screwing a lightbulb in online...but a published, hard copy lightbulb? Hmmm....

My answer to this was:

A few hundred. One to hold the lightbulb, and the rest to uproot the entire foundation of the church and twist it.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

Why no, but I am not an "apologist" in the original sense in this thread (nor any other--"partisan" is quite different and universal anyway), nor has anything I have published thus far touched even remotely on Mormonism...
