The church claims to be "the only true and living church on the face of the earth". What makes a church true? Beyond that - what makes it "living"? Join us as we take a look at this conundrum. Along the way, we consider the pertinent message from a famous pirate, "It's not gettin' in to the Land of the Dead that's the problem... it's gettin' back."

Did you ever hear of the "17 Points of the True Church"? It all stemmed from a talk given by a guy named Floyd Weston. "Back in the day" (especially from the late 70's to early 80's), it became a sort of cultural phenomenon in the church that a lot of members used to help "prove" the church was true. Although it isn't referenced much these days, it's a great example of the logical fallacies that have been used in the past (and are still used today) in the church's efforts to prove the veracity of its truth claims. Time to pick it apart.

You've probably heard the Book of Mormon called the "keystone" of the LDS religion. Join us in a small "stoning session" as we throw rocks at some of the truth claims and anachronisms in "the most correct book on earth", coupled with some important messages from The Brethren. We've included a special "hip hop" sound bite for your entertainment.

According to Jeff "Jowls" Holland, if you don't believe the Book of Mormon is true without accounting for its origin, you've been "deceived". Well then, let's look to the source, shall we?
