GS phonetically is close to GGS which is closer still to perfection, if one pronounces plurals properly. :lol:

US is cool too. Reminds me of time spent in the voting booth, where I likes voting for judges named Jim Bob, but would bomb pompous sounding Pterodactyl Pompsarous the Third type individuals.

GGS , but not spawn of satan. :geek: dbnp

Wow. He is both my son's an my favorite. But I definitely think it correlates to a certain personality type or types that he appeals to.

The fact that you say this I would hazard a guess that Eyring is among your top three. I respect him, but he simply doesn't speak to me. But his style does speak to many, as does Elder Holland.

You will also find that this forum is NOT a good representation of personality types as found in the general population: INTJ is a pretty uncommon type, but I believe are heavily represented on LDSFF. ISFJ, on the other hand, is either the most common of the 16 types, or certainly one of the most common; I don't think they would find LDSFF an enjoyable online destination, though.

Too soon to narrow it down. Still getting to know some of them!

I'm tempted to comment on the few that bother me. I have no list of grievances and I'm not losing sleep at night over them... Mostly just red flags I've noticed by the way they phrase things.

I'll resist the temptation and try to focus on the positive. I invite all to do the same.

My favorites are same as always - Peter James and John. Presumably they are still apostles.

This game sounds eerily like the ancient game, "Name your favorite Pharisee"

No wonder people can't get past stage one.

Jim Bob. :lol:

Funny that I indeed did meet a guy named Jim Bob,
who hangs out in a round building, then goes home to feed his many goats.

I didn’t know they played that game. Do you have a reference because that is very interesting.

People who make this comparison often forget that none of the Pharisees believed Christ.

The ones who were on the earth with Christ? Or the fake ones in the temple?

They’re not fake Apostles - they’ve just got fake names!

The Apostles who were on the earth with Christ weren’t called Peter, James and John either.

Do you mean Kephas, Ya’akov and Johhanan?

What? That makes no sense.
