There was no shortage of LDS jokes in the Mistborn series. The food storages made by the Lord Ruler were pretty great, but my favorite is how they had to engrave all their writings into plates of metal. I found something else at the end of chapter 29 of The Way of Kings: "I believe because I feel something, a closeness to the Almighty, a peace that comes when I live my faith." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 On the subject of similarities between Vorinism and The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS, did anyone notice the similarities between the Vorin thing of choosing a calling in life, something they want to get good at, and the new youth and children program? I know there are lots of differences, but it seems similar to me. And tWoK came out 10ish years before the children and youth program. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add TLR to this list as the stake president or maybe an area authority that is seen so infrequently that rumors and legends start to circulate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paalm Tree Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I was reading Jacob 5 and the allegory of the olive tree which was, well, cultivated by the master of the vineyard reminded me of Cultivation and her plans. The master of the vineyard and his servant prune, graft, and burn off bad branches of this tree, resulting in a tree that brought forth good fruit. Cultivation's whole thing is that she wants to be able to see growth in people by pruning them, if necessary, to become better.

Mat Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 That was a real double post, with the same words both times I would just like to say I am very grateful for the hymns. Today I got the chance to sit down and play five or six of them for my mom and younger sister to sing and it was an amazing experience since we haven't done that since before quarantine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Okay, Just foud this thread. Shout out my brother who's going on his mission right before Rhythm of War comes out. If he can get as many people to read the BoM as he did Stormlight, I think he'll do great. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosharan A.C. Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I’m glad I found this thread! It’s good to know that I share a lot of beliefs with the people in this community. Also, my aunt is currently reading the Mistborn trilogy (thanks to yours truly), and she just texted me today to say “I wish somebody would just give Sazed a Book of Mormon!” 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrubSeph Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I just found this thread! My stake had a mini youth conference on zoom that turned out better than I thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danex Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Oh this is a thing. Cool. Wow kinda weird scrolling through and seeing a ton of people I recognize from elsewhere on the forums. I’m super super late but Fun Fact: my cousin is really good friends with one of the Youth Speakers at the last General Conference. She had no idea he was speaking too! He kept it a secret from everyone apparently. Are y’all doing home church? I like it but I kinda miss real church. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosharan A.C. Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 My family actually went to church today (with masks and other precautions of course), but our ward is doing it every other week, so next week will be home church again. I like home church too, and it’s really nice to focus more on the family. However, being at church today helped me remember how good it is to actually be there. I really felt the spirit, and I look forward to when we can have normal sacrament meetings again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 This is getting weirder by the minute. Which, as I just stated, is a good thing. In any case, we'd best be getting back on-topic. What do you think is Brandon's religious outlet in his books? Just his various religions, or something different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the religions themselves, but the way the characters approach their religions. I notice this the most in Elantris. When Father Omin asks Hrathen about his faith, Hrathen wonders if he truly believes. Dilaf is passionate, but he misunderstands the religion in itself. The way each character views and interprets their religion, I think, is symbolic of the ways most people approach their faith. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Well I suppose I'll post here. Hi everyone! So I got to go to Church today as well, I can't wait to get back fully. Personally I want to write like Brandon and had decided to exclude religion entirely but Brandon has made me reconsider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
