Poll of the week What do Joseph Smith Jr. and Herman Melville have in common? Based on the title of Melville's most famous book, the whale’s size, and Joseph’s impressive harem, they are both obviously compensating for something  One made up fantastic American tales that only deluded followers actually believe happened, the other…nevermind  One is the quintessential great American novelist, the other is the quintessential great American philanderer  Melville actually wrote his famous books, whereas Joseph Smith technically plagiarized from Mormon, Moses, and Abraham One wrote books that touched the heart of the common man, the other touched a lot of women #TenderMercie General Conference International singers are invited to perform with the Tabernacle Choir at general conference for the first time ever Even Mormons can’t handle their own conference Covid Holland Gong’s inspired message Allen Haynie https://twitter.com/shelflessbishop/status/1642294439942189056 Crushing Plastic Bottles President recycle M Nelson?

Dives and company will take you back through the archive of nostalgic Mormon videos to bring you some of the most entertaining and obscure videos officially produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young University, and unofficial LDS-centric filmmakers. This show highlights the classic faith promoting cinematic gems right along with a few cringeworthy whoppers! You aren’t going to read these hard to find movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Join us on this Mormon cinematic adventure and watch to see what masterpieces (or flops) we uncover when we dust off the Beta and VHS tapes! We go live every Monday night at 9:30PM EST! Links E.

MormonMovieReviews@gmail.com www.MormonNewsRoundup.org EP 1 - Mormon Movie Reviews - Windows of Heaven (1963) https://youtu.be/cEZ0ajHbfuA Video Summary In 1899 aging Mormon Prophet Lorenzo Snow is deeply troubled by the Church's crippling debt, left over from the anti-polygamy crusades of the 1880s. He feels prompted to travel to St. George, Utah which is experiencing a tremendous drought, and while preaching in the Tabernacle there he receives a revelation to re-emphasize the law of tithing as the solution to the Church's financial troubles. Furthermore, in the video, he promises rain in St. George if they will faithfully pay tithing. A tithing reformation begins and throughout the Utah territory pioneer settlements, and eventually St. George receives rain and the Church climbs out of debt by the late 1960s.
