There's more than one branch?

Make up your minds!

Oh, I'm not one of them Mormons, I'm one of these Mormons.  I only want one wife and I abstain from everything.  I hate Joseph Smith.

Actually, I knew there were different kinds of Mormon already.

I used to be a big Rush fanboy like that a couple of years ago, but then I started listening to avant.
Avant does very little for me.  It is supposed to mean some sort of prog ascension I suppose, but I just don't get the appeal.


There's lots of different kinds of avant-prog though.  It's not all unlistenable.

History of the Mormon Church is interesting though.
There was a great documentary on PBS about it a few years back

Yes, I have found some albums that are labelled as avant that I like, but I figure if I like them that they really aren't avant, and were just miscategorized. LOL

There's a mormon church not far from my house. I've never seen anyone in it or on the surrounding property.

There's a Mormon church in my city about 5 blocks from my apartment. I highly doubt there are more than 50 Mormons in here though (excluding the American immigrants who work for the church).

They're certainly not miscategorised.  They're just a lot easier on the ears.  However, due to the fact I've heard some very harsh music, my ears find it easy to appreciate stuff like Henry Cow.  Their early stuff just sounds like jazzy Canterbury with avant flourishes.  To you though it may be really difficult.

Did you ever try Afenginn?

I gather there's a Mormon guy with lots of wives in a house in Swindon somewhere...

I've met a few Jehovah's Witness' too.  My mate's grandfather is one.  He's an idiot.

When I lived in California, a Jehovah's Witness came to my house to try and preach to me.


To put this in perspective... I lived 8 miles away from the nearest petrol (gas) station and lived on a dirt road off of a dirt road.

In Finland Jehovah's witnesses don't have to go to the military service because it's against their religion. Cool

Usually the phrase "being of pure energy" implies without mass. I want to be like the Ancients in SG-1.

I remember the time we had Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door at my house.  I was probably around 17 or 18 and was waiting for my friends to come pick me up to go and play baseball.  When the doorbell rang I came to the door with my baseball hat in my hands.  Needless to say they left my porch rather quickly. LOL

I have Retrograd.  It isn't too bad, but when I listen to it I feel like I should be doing the Russian (or is it Jewish) dance where they cross their arms and kick their feet.
