New Book Of Mormon Translations Announced



The Church has recently released a number of new Book of Mormon translations which will be available free to download next month from the church and this week through your favorite torrent sites.

The translations include Klingon, Vulcan, Cityspeak, Na'vi, Huttese, Ewokese, Quenya, Adunaic, Newspeak, Nadsat, Atlantean, Barsoomian,  Gungan, Dothraki, and Parseltongue. The church decided to translate the Book of Mormon into these languages to help spread interest among the Millennials and Generation Z. 

The languages chosen were hotly debated. Languages like Cityspeak would only be known by people who watched the R rated film Blade Runner. It was allowed in since the church would also like to use these translations as a proselyting tool. Parseltongue was the most controversial language of all as it had such strong ties to witchcraft and the devil. 

Translating all of these languages was much harder than most translations. An example of the difficulty was the church had to convince George R.R. Martin to help with the translation into Dothraki. There is a rumor that one of the translators working on the Gungan version went mad.

Many working on the project enjoyed the work though. One translator for Ewokese said, "I knew I would be watching the Return of the Jedi a lot for this project but I didn't know there were other Ewok movies, comics, and even a cartoon series. It really broadened my knowledge of the Ewok culture."

If this pilot project proves successful the church has plan to translate other languages in the future. Some possible new lunges include Minonese, Simlish, Gargish,and Troll.

5 Worst LDS Temples

(Photo by   Lionel Allorge ) What happens on the temples is the same but the outside are very different. There will be people who have a love of their temple and won't be happy with some of these choices. I understand. If someone told me the LA temple was ugly I would admit its not the prettiest but it sure doesn't belong on the list. I also would realize taste is subjective too though. Unlike my last list of the best  where factors besides aesthetics were factored in this list is all about looks. The first one is the easiest to guess since it is at the top of the page. If you thought this was some old high school from a John Hughes movie you're wrong. It is actually the Paris Temple. The temple looks like it could be a number of things besides a temple from a high school to a library. I prefer my temples to look set apart from the world not fit right in.

5 Best LDS Temples

While what goes on inside the temples may only be seen by active worthy members the outside can be seen by all. Even if you have never entered a temple you can still appreciate their architectural beauty. You might be wondering why I get to determine the 5 best buildings and I actually have 3 reasons. The first should be obvious. It is my blog. The second is I am related to William Robert Ware the father of American architecture. Finally you probably already noticed this if you have been reading my blogs I have  impeccable  taste. The following are in no particular order. Let's start with an easy one. It's The Salt Lake City Temple of course. The Salt Lake City Temple is one of the most recognized buildings in Salt Lake, Utah, and of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is the largest temple by floor area and took an impressive 40 years to build. The temple even has weekly meetings of the church leadership. On top of all that it also has a Holy of Holie
