1 Nephi 22

Smith comes in hot with a bunch of topics that will not be covered. Joe starts talking about The God Makers and its sequel, but he gets distracted easily. The guys appreciated the first one, with the exception of all of the Christian friendly fire. The second one wasn’t great. Joe talks about his experience listening to the Jahndalynn interview with Eddie D (see link below, it’s nearly 4 hours long). 

The Tanners wrote a book, but they also have insight into authenticating documents from their knowledge of the tanning process. JS starts this chapter with a convenient, leading question from L&L. JS loves white people, says Smith. Smith doesn’t like sheep because he was told that it was a good thing to be one. He’s also not a fan of the repentance concept as a way to keep church members on the defensive, or feeling bad about themselves. Smith fantasizes about the idea of Temple Square having the actual brass plates, sword of Laban, seer stone, etc. Joe thinks that the urim and thummim could be like a really good Snapchat filter. Joe starts an awkward conversation with Melvin the holy spirit, who in turn, wants to talk to Zoram. Probably just skip the last 10 minutes.
