Good Bye, Tom Hanks!

I wasn't going to say anything about the 'Big Love' controversy, for several reasons. 1) I think that the church did a good job at their response, and pretty much told me to let it go. 2) I don't want to make a comment and sound complete unintelligent, or to start a fight. 3) The church has always thrived during persecution, so why mess with it(maybe we will reach 14 million members by the end of the year). 4) I am way to busy to deal with it, and let the anger fester in me. 5) Doctrine and Covenants 6:34 Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.

Now with all that being said, I was watching Glen Back the other day. Which by the way if you don't watch him, you should. I don't always agree with what he says, but he is pretty much right all the time. Anyway I was watching Glen and he had on his show some religious leaders and a professor of the constitution(ah, something like that), from somewhere on there. They were discussing a little problem with the state of Connecticut, and how the state wanted to take control of the Catholic church. Well we all see the problem with that. But the Catholic leader was pointing out that, he felt that this came about because they were in favor of Prop 8. Everyone on the show agreed and then they started to talk about the Mormons and all the junk that has happened to the church. Anyway, when it went to commercial, I was thinking about all of the stuff that had been said and the upcoming show of 'Big Love', and I said to Jon, "I wonder if that show is a retaliation?" Jon shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Maybe."

Which leads me to today, I was reading a friends blog and she had made reference to Tom Hanks, being the executive producer of 'Big Love', and I thought back to a statement that he made a little while ago which you can read here. I thought, "Ah this is retaliation!"

So since I have the basic cable package, which doesn't include HBO. I tell you this, I will not own a movie with Tom Hanks in it or produced by him(or his wife). I realize that cuts out a lot of good movies, ie: Toy Story, Sleepless in Seattle and You've got mail. Just to name a few, but I am ok with not rewarding his bad behavior.

To Tom Hanks I say: Go ahead with your stupid show, we are build upon the rock, you cannot prevail! Oh and I hate to break it to you Tom, the Church didn't donate millions of dollars to push through Prop 8, the members did and we didn't donate it to the church but to those working to push it through. Just so ya know!!

Pregnancy update will be moved to Friday, pending the MRI results.
