		<title>The TRUTH about the Book of Mormon pronouncing guide EXPOSED</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Mormon Church does not want even its own members to know how to pronounce Shimnilom.  Most Mormons do not know the words of their own so-called scripture. If you ask a typical Mormon to say “Shimnilom,” they will not recognize it as a word from their “golden Bible.” Ask them to explain what [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Family is Ordained of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The power of the Proclamation on the Family is its doctrine.  The Proclamation does not have powerful language.  Its mostly written in passive-voice sentences and &#8216;be&#8217; verbs.
This month&#8217;s new Primary song sets phrases from the Proclamation to (bad) music, including &#8220;the family is ordained of God.&#8221;  I tried rewording.  I discovered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get me a new hometeacher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the sweetness of Mormon life
Bishop started his testimony with something that had been gnawing at him.  One of the inactives on his hometeaching list called him and told him to tell the Bishop to get her a new hometeacher, since he never came.  He said being Bishop was hard.  He thanked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Om nom nom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a recent ABC article, mother of three Robyn Paul has some good things to say about breastfeeding children beyond infancy. 
&#8220;In this culture, breasts are viewed as sexual,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;We use breasts to sell everything from beer to motorcycles, then a toddler is in mom&#8217;s arms nursing for what they&#8217;re supposed to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rock Lobster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night around 9 pm I drove my eldest to her friend&#8217;s house, where she would borrow a dress to wear to the multi-stake New Year&#8217;s Eve dance (of course, nothing she owned was worthy). 
Ah, church dances. The blaring tacky music, the duded-up kids shaking their stuff under the basketball hoops, the chaperones with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drop Bill Simmons?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In which I crowdsource my conscience.
Bill Simmons is a star writer for ESPN.com.  He has a big following.  I&#8217;m one of them.  I think he&#8217;s a really good writer.  Kingsley thinks so too, so it must be true.
Every now and again he throws in a reference to strip clubs and pornography. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, now that we&#8217;re looking at the Mormon of the Year, I&#8217;d also like to look at what the big news stories were for the year. In a lot of ways its been a very busy news year, with, by my count, three big stories dominating:

Mitt Romney&#8217;s presidential candidacy

The week between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s Day is traditionally the media&#8217;s time for reflection on the past year &#8212; the time when we see story after story on the best or most important stories of the year, or the most important person of the year (as Time magazine just [...]]]></description>
