Comments on: Where the Red Fern Grows http://www.mormonfolklore.org/blog/2008/06/01/where-the-red-fern-grows/ A satirical look at TRUTH through the mote-free eyes of Elder Stephen Erastus Knudsen III Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:38:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: austin s http://www.mormonfolklore.org/blog/2008/06/01/where-the-red-fern-grows/#comment-1777 austin s Sun, 01 Jun 2008 07:16:59 +0000 http://www.mormonfolklore.org/blog/2008/06/01/where-the-red-fern-grows/#comment-1777 Oh sure, first it's Where the Red Fern Grows, next time maybe something else fairly innocuous, To Kill A Mockingbird perhaps. But as one who has traversed that treacherous, slippery slope, let me ask you: where will it end? The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? Worldly reading--talk about a flaxen cord! I say stick to the iron rod and no waffling or fence sitting or outright trespassing into the devil's territory. As that creepy guy from the church-approved Joseph Smith story movie said: Beware, your eternal soul is at stake. Or something like that. The point is, I'd go back to the words of the living prophets as soon as possible if I were you. Frankly, Stephen, I expected better of you.

I started with Amelia Bedelia and moved straight into Judy Bloom, and now I have a standing weekly appointment to talk with my bishop about the many misuses of Picante. It's a slippery slope brother Knudsen. I still hope to be worthy to go through the temple someday, and I need a strong and worthy man to take me. Don't invalidate yourself so easily. You never know. P.S. I got my headgear removed last Tuesday. My teeth look almost normal now. :) I have to agree with brother S.

Wilson Rawls died in Cornell, Wisconsin in December 1984. Go make 1 Corinthians 15:29 a reality today! You’re in luck Elder Knudsen. Wilson Rawls died in Cornell, Wisconsin in December 1984.
