Missing warp-speed engines, but functional.
Welcome to the Monastery! As you click around, you’ll notice that not everything is up and running yet, or complete. In spite of that, I’ve gone public because of some pressure to open this up and close the old ones down.
Clicking on the “Temple Information” picture will take to what was the LDS (Mormon) Temple Resources page, the Temple Prep. picture will take you to the former LDS Temple Preparation FAQ, etc. You can also use the links on the left side. Note also the search box, which (surprise!) will search the site content for whatever you wish.
You’ll notice that I have a Spanish link that doesn’t go anywhere. Yet. In the near future, a Spanish translation of the Temple Preparation FAQ will appear. I hope to expand into the occasional podcast as well, on topics of scripture and history. For the time being, though, you’ll have to be content with what I’ve been able to transfer.
I’ve gotten a lot of feedback about my pages. Generally, people find them helpful and uplifting. In a few cases, they’ve been answers to prayers. As those temple pages grew in popularity, they also rose up the rankings of google, making them easier to find. I’ve recently had hits from Saudia Arabia, New Zealand, Malasia, and Japan, to name a few. In order to keep up that kind of visibility, I ask you to create links to these pages. If you linked to the old one, please change it. Make the text something about Temples, with LDS or Mormon in the title.
Check back in a day or two for updated content, links, features, etc.
Todah rabbah.
Dear Mr. Monk with a Hebrew Salutation,
Your site looks really nice. Unfortunately, the MA has spelled the name with an extra “s.”
I like the BW 7 comment about the rabid exegetes. At this institution, rabies shots are mandatory, but it could be different at other places, I guess.

Hello to the Monk,
Looking forward to exploring this site and especially studying the temple pages. I like the category breakdown and am also looking forward to the Book of Mormon pages content getting added.
Thank you for such a great resource! I have linked to your site.

I really like the new layout. Very nice!
I’ve previously posted links to your old site on Livejournal, and I’ve received occassional feedback that they love your site. They’ve found it a good resource to answer their questions, and they’ve found your temple prep page to have exactly what they wanted to know to alleviate their stress. Anyway, I’ll post new links there, but I just wanted to let you know that your site is indeed a great resource, and I’ve enjoyed spreading it around.

Dear Monk,
Are you open for questions? Cause there’s a qere-ketib in Joshua 9:7 that strikes me as interesting.
Who are the “men of Israel” and how could all 600,000 of them be eating lunch (v.14)while the princes did one thing and Joshua did another? I taught this pericope today without really knowing how to resolve it, but remain curious about your thoughts…
If you have time, of course.
