CC 159: It's an alternate universe over here

01.04.2020
CC 153: Faith of our fathers

12.28.2019
CC 152: Hello, Wally Tony
In a shocking turn of events, W. Wallace Smith decides to retire rather than remain prophet-president until death. He nominates his son, Wallace Bunnell Anthony Smith, as successor. Read along with us here GCR 564 Graceland College Book...
12.21.2019
CC 151: Not the meeting minutes

12.14.2019
CC 150: Build it... where?
God wants the Saints to build a temple, which is problematic since RLDS doesn't own the land where temple should be built. Can they resurrect and old agreement that would allow them to slide right into that plot of land? ...
12.07.2019
CC 149A: Schismpalooza, Part 2

11.02.2019
CC 145: It is my will...
Pres. W. Wallace Smith flexes his prophetic muscles by doing a ton of staffing changes. On the surface, nothing is changing. In reality, he's setting up the church to do things like include non-white members in their leadership. All...
10.26.2019
CC 143-144: Goodbye and Hello, President Smith
It's the end of an era as President Israel "Dutch" Smith passes away in a car crash. President W. Wallace Smith is named successor, which makes sense since he's essentially been acting president for a solid six years. Read...
10.19.2019
CC 142: A series of bad looks for Dutch

10.05.2019
CC 139: Rest In Peace, Fred M.

09.21.2019
CC 138: Hello, Israel.
The revelation is just another staffing change from Fred M. The reality is that nobody likes him and his closest confidantes are quitting. Somehow, despite a lifetime of being treated as Lesser, little brother Israel A. Smith steps in to...
09.14.2019
CC 137: Even More Depressioning
Fred. M's vision of a literal, physical Zion slips even further from his grasp. Church membership is falling, money is tighter than tight, and WWII is just around the corner. All the Links Read along with us here Support...
09.07.2019
CC 136: Oops! A Great Depression
Fred M. has gained complete control of the Church, for both good and bad. Great strides are made in the quest for a physical Zion on earth! And he completely misses how overspent the coffers are, and then a Great...
08.31.2019
CC 135: Too Many Controversies
Brother McGuire stages a coup, sort of, with the help of immense amounts of bureaucracy. Fred M. is temporarily ousted from The Saints Herald, only to regain power at the expense of his younger brother, Israel. Read along...
08.24.2019
CC 134: SDCC #2 - Common Consent
There's so much controversy that we just don't have anything harmonious, except a tiny little background clause in membership transfer that we'll care about in 1925. Right now it's 1922-1924, and Fred M's leadership is tanking the church. Membership? Money?...
08.17.2019
CC 132-133: Supreme Directional Control Controversy #1
Fred M becomes the prophet, and immediately things go awry. He micromanages, he gives his wife biological specimens, he throws down during general conference. It's the first of six controversies!!!! All the Links Patron Bonus - Sunstone 2019 ...
08.03.2019
CC 131: Rest in Peace, JS III
An era comes to a close as the son of the prophet passes away of old age. Let's recap his life and read his final revelation. Suspicious that his final words from God sound a lot like everything Fred M....
07.27.2019
CC 130: A Shift in Tone
Prophet Emeritus Joseph Smith III suddenly sounds an awful lot like his son, Fred M. It's shocking how much the divine will of god aligns with the mortal will of Fred M. This does not bode well. All the...
07.20.2019
CC 129: Dissent!!!
R. C. Evans is ousted from the presidency and he is NOT happy about it. He's replaced with "just another Smith". All The Links Section 129 Pretender to the Throne: R. C. Evans and the Problem of...
07.13.2019
CC 128: Zion Is Calling
Fred M.'s influence grows ever stronger. The church is (slowly and thoughtfully) on the move from rural everywhere to Independence, MO. Saints are advised to migrate only after they've secured a job and housing, and to integrate kindly with their...
07.06.2019
CC 127: The women (try to) speak
The church is in transition from the founders to the next generation. Fred M is named the successor to JS 3.0, money isn't enough for all the things, and are children or old people more important? Discuss. All the...
06.29.2019
CC 126: JS 3.0 has a vision
Joseph Smith III has a vision. Happily, it streamlines responsibilities within the church and nominates people to leadership positions. It's official canon... but not everyone believed so at the time. All the Links Read along with us here...
06.22.2019
RLDS vs LDS
It's 1901, and the differences between RLDS and LDS are big enough to warrant a full-on comparison. What does the two factions believe? How does the afterlife work? Which is the One True Church? All the Links Support the...
06.15.2019
CC 125: Do What I Say Because I Say So
The church is at a turning point. Should their money go to the newly-begun Graceland College? What about strengthening their existing membership? Missionary work? Joseph 3.0 solves it all by taking a turn from Common Consent to Divine Revelation, but...
