Question for Daniel, did they really call you 2 be a bishop?

[_Polygamy Porter]

I wonder if the cats in the MAAD litter box will then address him as BISHOP Peterson instead of Doctor?

Both, I imagine. And he is due respect for both titles.

Sorry, but he did not earn a doctorate in Mormon studies.

Now if Dan ever shows up on a Islamic discussion board, I am sure many folks would address him as Dr. Peterson.

If he was called to be a Mormon bishop, then yes the active members are expected to address him as such.

PP, I just can't imagine not having a tv! Why did you get rid of your tv?

I did when I was young but I was an angst driven anarchist and didn't want the man to infiltrate my mind. What's your excuse?

Nothing new or interesting. Bottom line is the majority of the content is a waste of time.

While we still have a TV and DVD player, no external signals are received via rabbit ears, dish, or cable. We still do rent DVDs, but not many or very often.

Our children spend much more time outside playing, reading, coloring or just playing together and not a single one is chubby.

We just did not see anything of value for our children on the TV. Tivo or not and discovery channel or not.

Well I hope you know that you missed the premiere of High School Musical 2!

Oh I did not miss it, as I did not desire to see it.

Now if they had a musical themed High School Metalical, perhaps I'd watch it at a friend's home who has the right cable subscription.

My daughters did watch the premier of HSMII at a friend's house.

Oh I didn't expect that you wanted to see it. :)

Neither did you, nor for that matter the vast majority of LDS critics. Did Vogel or Metcalfe earn a doctorate in Mormon Studies? Did Kevin Graham? Did Dr. Shades? WHO among the critics here earned a doctorate in Mormon studies?

If he was called to be a Mormon bishop, then yes the active members are expected to address him as such.

And the title of "bishop" remains for life. Even in my seldom ventures back to Church, I still get called "bishop".

SHUT UP already about Dr. Shades you sniveling dweeb. We all KNOW he is not a real doctor OK? That is his HANDLE.

OMG, you were a bishop?

Boy they upped the standards for missionaries, did they ever do the same for bishop? I mean after you failed?

You would like everyone who opposes your opinions to SHUT UP. We all know that! You can't even tolerate the fact that Liz is still a Mormon. You want all who don't think in black and white, like you do, to jump ship.

Failed? I'd rather be a failure in Mormonism than a success in your brand of utter nihilism.
