We’ll start with Jehovah’s Witnesses and their latest shift on blood transfusions—what changed, what technically didn’t, and why high-demand religions often seem to work very hard to change without ever having to say, “We were wrong.” We’ll also look at the latest developments surrounding the abortion measure in Idaho and the LDS Church’s decision to publicly oppose it, including some of the tensions and questions that creates around political neutrality, consistency, and institutional influence. From there, we’ll turn to temple news: the continuing controversy surrounding Lone Mountain, another temple groundbreaking, and the latest developments involving the Church’s major project in Denver. And finally, we’ll spend some time talking about our Post-Mormon Cruise—what went well, what didn’t, some of the stories and experiences from the week, and yes, even the remarkably underwhelming “taco lunch.” But we’ll end on a much more serious note with the tragic story of a passenger who jumped overboard during the cruise, what happened afterward, and how that experience affected those of us who were there.
