Summary

Calling yourself a Mormon is bold during this time of intense media scrutiny. But these bloggers aren't afraid to declare their testimonies and dispel some prominent rumors about the Mormon faith. Plus, a few fascinating Mormon history developments.

Power pick: Check out these exciting developments in the Mormon history community from this past week. First, the Joseph Smith Papers Project “released to its website on 16 February, a dozen Joseph Smith documents owned by Community of Christ, adding to the several hundred documents already available on the site.

Plus, MormonHistoryAssocation.org has a new website. It’s much more user-friendly and professional, better mirroring the organization itself. Check it out!

Techie tip: Looking for family-friendly movie reviews? Check out this handy list from LDS Media Talk with seven different movie review sites. Love it!
