DOUBT YE THE ENTERTAINMENT POWER OF THE LORD???
Well, I still haven’t read Twilight, so I can’t really speak to the entertainment value of the Mormon version of the lord.
Send someone along to pretend to be you, and you’ve got a deal.
What’s with the “stake?”
Is someone going to burned at, or impaled on, it?
Neither is my cup of tea for entertainment, but hey, what do I know about Mormons?
@4 – I know direct, literal answers aren’t what the internet is for, but here.
I kept reading “stake” as “snake.” It was far more interesting then.
It won’t be bad since there won’t be any screaming kids. You just have to take the 120 for about an hour. There is another one just like it taking place in Ravenna at the same hour.
Knock yourselves out.
@4 – Mormon congregations are called “wards” and a collection of 6-10 wards is called a “stake”. There is the Seattle Stake and the Seattle North Stake, and at least one in just about every suburban city around the area.
@4 and @8 – I was a Baptist in Salt Lake City as a kid – had to learn what ward and stake I was in just so I could respond when asked and avoid that whole “conversion” thing…..
Now when I hear the term “stake knife” I get a very weird image – what, some kind of secret ceremony?
