Jeez Steve, that’s kind of sobering. Makes you think about the definition of “new” though. I haven’t really heard new information for a few years, but I’ve heard old information presented in new ways that makes me re-evaluate. I’ve also heard new false doctrine, which is always fun, but not so inspiring…
Yeah, when I first thought of it I was thinking in terms of new information, but that got really depressing (back to rumspringa days for me) — so I threw in the “dews of heaven” thing as a bone to those who believe that “learning the Gospel” is a life-long journey, etc., etc…..
New false doctrine IS always fun, as is ward gossip. Inspiring is in the eye of the beholder in that respect.
Unfortunately this means that the “dews of heaven” thing will probably win the poll, because it is different from the others, which speak to information-transfer. Oh well.
p.s. did you guys happen to see the results from the polygamy poll? It’s official: polygamy was… a big mistake! It narrowly beat out the “all of the above” option.
John H goes head to head with the dews of heaven . . . and is winning! Quite a compliment, I think.
I gave John H my vote because it signals the Bloggernacle as a source of the new information. Say, I never posted the http://www.zelph.com link, did I? It has nothing to do with Zelph or with Mormonism.
And has anyone noticed the T&S Zelph threat is now on the short “Most Popular Posts” threat with about 130 comments? He’s not gay marriage, but Zelph has obviously struck a responsive chord within the Bloggernacle. Zelph would be proud. Even Onandagus might have cracked a smile.

Dave, you’re so wrong. As grand chief, Onadagus would keep his stone-like expression, especially for all this hoopla over some whitey Lamanite.

Good to see a poll again. It’s been a little while. [Hrmmm... when will I get polls implemented at my site?! I dunno].

Fun to vote on that. John H had my vote. Great discussion here and at T&S on that–it quickly rose to one of the threads with the most comments on it.
