breeb Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Ok this is going to be the 2nd time I mention Golden Girls on these forums, but I watched an episode last night where Rose is at a dinner party for college professors. She's asked "If you were having dinner and could invite only 2 people living or dead who would it be?" Her answer was something like (I cant remember word for word) "I would want it to be my 2 best friends, but would it be ok if Jesus came for desert?" Obviously for the humor the intellectuals walked away annoyed. Well it got me thinking. Who would I invite? I think right now I would want Joseph and Emma Smith to be my two guests. I just have so many questions about how they felt personally durring the restoration. So here's my question. Who would you invite and why? Doesnt have to be spiritual. Could be anyone. The reason I picked Joseph and Emma is because I have just recently become very interested in church history. A couple months ago Jerry Seinfeld would probably have been one of them. (I think he'd be a fun conversationalist.) Quote
kona0197 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Tough question. It would be fun to meet Joseph. Of course I would grill him with all the questions I have. Quote

Hemidakota Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 If it was me, it would be our Heavenly Parents...I don't think the Savior would mine. Quote

Canuck Mormon Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 I would say..... Moroni (to find out what he did after he buried the plates) and my niece Isabelle (unfortunately she passed at 6 months) just to get to know her. Quote

Lbybug Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 both my grandpas, to appologize and learn more about their lives Quote
Fiannan Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 John the Baptist -- all I'd have to prepare is a big bowl of grasshoppers and honey. I'd also invite Jesus. Quote
Tough Grits Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 My Cuban grandmother just died on Thursday.I would invite her. I need to fill the gaps of my Cuban family history. She has been out of her mind for several years with severe cancer. So, getting much out of her wasn't possible while she was alive.The other person would be C.S. Lewis. I would love to ask him questions about his writings, his life, and I am curious to know what he thinks about everything now, since he has been in the Spirit World. Those are my two.~TG Quote
breeb Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Posted September 14, 2008 Henry Winkler is still alive.Henry Winkler would be a good guest. I love him! I just want to clear this up. The guests may be living or dead. Thanks for playing guys! Quote
