They recorded my series last year. The problem is that I usually end up saying one or two playful comments per session that don't make for good KBYUTV. As hard as I try not to, I'm bound to make a statement or two that makes my Mom's eyes roll.  They just come out in all the excitement.

I'm afraid I'll never be one of those "round-table" guys.

Reminds me of a comment from a Mormon Expressions Podcast:

Tom: There's a lot of good BYU Podcasts...there's one called 'The Pearl Of Great Price Roundtable Dicsussion'...you can get a lot of good doctrine off of those... "

Jim: They also make good white noise applications you can download...they're very similar in consistency...

For the record, I do enjoy the "Roundtable" programs and find them stimulating. Unlike Cinepro's follow-up rejoinder, my light-hearted comment to David was not intended to disparage them in any way.

why did this get pinned?

Events like this tend to get pinned so they don't get lost amidst the rest of the threads.

so sad none of the education week classes will be aired on BYUtv

Wish I could go.  First time I will miss it in many years.  But have to take care of someone who is recuperating from surgery.

Best wishes to your someone for a speedy recovery.

I hope so. In the past, in the past, I've always just danced around the topic at Ed. Week. This time the issue will be the focus. I'm looking forward to sharing.

In the past in the past, of course, means that such dancing around took place in the distant past as opposed to the recent past! (Sorry, but I had to do it. Reminds me of a story I once heard about a couple who visited Ireland and seeing areas with lines painted on the curbs, decided to ask an Irish policeman what the lines meant. They pointed to an area with one line painted on the curb and asked the policeman what the line meant. "Oh," he said, "it means there's no parkin' there a-tall." Then they pointed to an area with two lines painted on the curb and asked him the same question. "That," he responded emphatically, "means there's no parkin' there a-tall a-tall!" )

Best of luck, I hope a recording is made after all.

Shameless plug for those interested.  This year I'm teaching an exciting series for Education Week entitled "If You Could Hie to Kolob: The Council of the Gods in Modern Revelation and the Ancient World."  

The classes will be held Tuesday through Friday August 14th through 17th from 5:50 to 6:45 in the Wilkinson Center.

Going to be a lot of fun.

Friday covers the topic of Divine Council imagery in the Book of Mormon, and I'm sharing some fun insights that I haven't yet presented publicly.

By the way, for those of us not in the loop where will it be held? There is an assumption that the whole world knows about education week and its location. Wilkinson Hall?

There is a reason why it is called "Campus Education Week".  http://ce.byu.edu/edweek/

Like the Stampede in Calgary, if you are a local and not attending, this is the time of year you turn to your significant other and say "isn't there something we have to do somewhere else like right now?"

BTW, if it is still like it was when I was a student, there will be volunteers all over campus to direct those who are lost and likely minibuses as well so you still can park out in the boonies but without having to walk across the continent in the heat to get to class.

I've never been to Education Week.  Is it like grown-up EFY?  Are there dances and talent shows?

Yep, that's about right.  And I don't know about talent, but I will be performing an interpretive dance, which trust me, is worth the price of admission alone.

Does it incorporate lexical syntax and at least one element of hitpael?

[David Bokovoy]

Could there ever be an interpretive dance without at least one element of hitpael?

Not if you want a decent score.

You know, I've been doing a lot of research as of late into the topic of Jesus as Jewish Rabbi.  In the process, I remembered a statement you made a couple years ago on the need for a study on the way the Book of Mormon sermons reflect Rabbinic traditions and exegetical techniques.  You, of course, were absolutely correct, and I sincerely hope you're putting together some articles.
