Good evening, everyone. Welcome once again to the Mormon newscast. Today's date is October 14th,

2024. It is I, myself, Radio Free Mormon, known by friend and foe alike as RFM. I'm joined by Rebecca

Bibliotheca. How are you doing? I am fabulous. Happy fall, y'all. I'm finally kind of getting in the spirit.

I'm so glad.

What is, what kind of Octobery book are you reading right now?

Oh, you mean for our book club?

We just finished Armageddon.

Can't get any more Halloween in October than that by Bart Ehrman, right?

Terrifying.

And our next book coming up in the Good

Book Club is No Nonsense Spirituality by Britt Hartley. Also terrifying in many ways. How do people

join this book club of yours? Oh, it's really easy. You can find us on Facebook and then just,

you know, request to join. And then you can see all the links and all that stuff. You can also send

me an email

to the good book club at mail.com not gmail we're not cool enough to have a gmail address but mail

dot com and it's just a virtual zoom meeting um once a month second sunday 11 a m mountain time and we

just hang out with people all over the world and we talk about great books through the lens of Mormonism. That's the important part, right? Yeah, absolutely. So on Facebook, where on Facebook? Just search The Good Book Club. The Good Book Club and the V is part of the title, right? It is part of the title. It's kind of a pun. Do you get it? The Good Book Club? Yeah, there are a lot of, you don't get it?

No. Does anyone else get it? I'm sure everybody else gets it. The Good Book. Haven't you ever heard the Bible referred to as The Good Book? Where did you serve your mission? Yes, I have. Yes, I have. But the Book of Mormon is the best book. Ah, there it is. Good, better, and best. The problem with calling a book club, the good book club, is that there's about 500 other ones that are Christian book clubs. So, you know, you have to weed through a few. Okay. Well, I tell you what, obviously Bill Real is not here. He is in disclosed. He won't be with us tonight. Otherwise, he'd be running, writing heard on us better. Keep us in line more with the newscast format instead of being so informal.

So we've got a bunch of stories for us tonight.
