#055 Gently Shake the Holy Ghost's Hand...

To make friends with a pigeon.

Sister Patience auditions co-host candidate #2 - Brother Jones! Who tells about his life married to a "Happy Valley Girl", and how his family left Mormonism.

Highlights:

The origins of Lehi's bizarre vision from 1 Nephi (ya know, with the "iron rod", and the giant tree, and pathways, and a river).

Inconsistent changes to the Book of Mormon over the years.

Religious and Ex-Religious phychology can be somewhat similar, for better or worse.

It was weird that Nephi mentioned "baptism" here. The concept did not exist at the time this story supposedly took place.

2 Nephi 31:8 retells the story of John 1:33 from the Bible. But the "dove" aspect of the story leads to some weird dogma from Smitty. Should Jesus have tried to shake the dove's hand?

In 2 Nephi 31:18, Smitty once again connects this with that, and that with something else, with too many prepositions, and ends up with a mess.

Brother Jones tries an Australian accent!
