A Promising New YouTube Channel Has Appeared....

[IWMP]

Kish, I thought you were more active/pro Mormon. I remember you saying you are Mormon but not LDS (paraphrased) but I didn't know what that meant so I just let it go. Lol.

Keep ‘em coming, Kish.

I have a question for you. Before the family’s reactivation to start the branch, were you involved with the church prior to that?


How did you become a coffee drinker? I tried smoking back in my teens. I didn’t even like it at first. It made me dizzy. Unfortunately, it took hold for a few years. Thankfully, it is thing of the past. Just curious. Not that the two things are even related, but I wish the tobacco had not appealed to me like coffee has not appealed to me thus far. Seems the thing that stinks appealed to me, yet the thing (coffee) that smells so good, hasn’t tickled my taste buds favorably so far.

Due to the impact of the great American Mormon culture on current United States law and politics, there is perhaps nothing more important to discuss than the church’s 19th-century history concerning its treatment of women, the reaction of the United States in the 19th century, and how the problems festered in the Intermountain West, growing in secrecy beginning with the 1890s manifesto until, today, we are witnessing evidence of a culture of extreme organized child sexual abuse (think the BSA bankruptcy and the church’s co-liability; where women are sexually exploited, children are sexually exploited) and such discrimination against women that Jenn Kamp and Rosebud can easily happen while the media remains silent and even the ex-Mormons and a Mormon judge related to an apostle support the Open Stories Foundation.

Good topic.

Really gets at the core of what Mormonism is. Also, very relevant considering the church’s influence through amicus briefs.

I hope this new promising station tackles it. Very relevant and up-to-date.

Congrats!!! I will definitely check it out.

Thanks, Dr Exiled! I really appreciate it!

[Kishkumen]

I hope you will interview some Cassius faculty soon.

Thanks, Tom! I hope so, too! We are a very anonymous bunch, so that may be a challenge.

[Kishkumen]

Deal. There are many here who ought to be your guests. Far greater than I. Your channel could be a HUGE success, which is exactly what I wish for it!

I am a lowly grasshopper to the Philo master. You are a legend, Philo. We have loved your video work from your days at the FAIR conferences.

[Kishkumen]

Had to sub. Too much sexy silver fox to resist.

Hey, I am blushing, here!

[Kishkumen]

Subscribed and looking forward to geeking out, even more, on Mormonism. Do I have to drink coffee? Never developed a taste for it.

Kish doesn't demand coffee drinking, except of himself. Tea, soda, water. It's all good. Thank you, msnobody!

[Kishkumen]

Kish,

I love your coffee cup. What is the backstory on those illustrations?

I'll definitely listen to your channel on my commute in the morning.

It is a medieval image from Castle Cloumoutzi in Greece. I bought this at the museum in Patras, Greece. Wonderful museum. I highly recommend it. To be honest with you, I am not exactly sure what the image is. I just fell in love with it when I saw it. I interpreted it to be a scene of Marian cult. With a worshipper on his knees before a crowned Mary who is presenting the Christ child. I tried to nail that down after I got home, but so far I have not found anything more on it.

Thanks for listening!

[Kishkumen]

His 2nd on, the half hour one is definitely a fun listen!

Thanks, Philo! I had fun making that one.
