Episode #141 – The Great Pillow Fight (and More General Conference)
Holland’s Inner Anger
We’re back with part 2 of our General Conference recap, as well as some other news:
Marlin K. Jensen is released during General Conference, and the Church loses a progressive pragmatist with a flair for conflict resolution.
The Church backs off on its construction of a new nine-story building at the Provo MTC. How will this affect the changes in missionary work announced during General Conference? Victory to the people of Provo!
BYUtv has a new comedy show. It’s sort of OK.
Reverend Billy Graham meets with Mitt Romney and promptly removes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from his list of “cults.” How kind. Pat Billy on the back, but not too hard or he might die.
Vanity Fair publishes an interesting – if flawed – piece on how the Church has been involved in politics from one time to another.
- Farewell to Jensen
- Church drops MTC plans

Al- It's too bad you won't go out with any girls who are over 30 and who live farther than 20 min away because I find you rather hilarious and absolutely charming. I, unfortunately, fall into both of those undesirable categories.

Also, ditto what Jen said.
Hah, I figured out who, and I am sorry I ever doubted you
