This Week in Mormons

Episode #382 – Temple Throwup


Listen Later



Everyone join us in celebrating Tiffany's 50th birthday! She has a closet with more square footage than her children's bedrooms!

The Meridian Idaho Temple open house comes to a close, and the Sisters have some great insights into the process of giving tours, including when guides are to speak (or not), the ol' walk and talk, throwup in the celestial room, ruined oil paintings, and the way the public generally trashes a temple during an open house.

In news, Newsweek totally blows a headline about Elizabeth Smart's efforts to improve Mormons' views on sex, staying she is "wary of religion" when in reality, she is wary of people using religion as an excuse for poor behavior. Totally different things! We recommend you send a tweet to Cristina Maza, the piece's author, and sound off about how bad this is.

Elder D. Todd Christofferson reorganizes a stake that he had discontinued ten years prior. The stake was closed as a result of population loss in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Lindsey Stirling continues her dominance on Dancing with the Stars. Dominance!

The Sisters' favorite legal squabble, that of Sodalicious v Swig, ends in a settlement. BORING.

Remember last week's podcast when we talked about a weird video highlighting "weird" food RMs ate on their mission? The Sisters can't get enough! Watch it below.


An Arizona family plans to visit every temple in the world. Good luck making it to Kinshasa!
