Re: DCP Admits that Joseph Smith's Polygamy was "Probably" Motivated by "Sexual Desire"

is he actually referring to sexual desire beyond that for his legal wife? Let me be more specific. Peterson is discussing, and defining as normal and expected, Smith's sexual desire for his (multiple!!) other illegal and immoral conquests, beyond that of his wife to whom he was legally wed, correct...

These are cool stories, much better than mine. I have shaken a few GA hands, but that is about it. My closest encounter was an interview with a Seventy when I applied for a job at BYU. That was memorable.

Re: Kirton McConkie's Randy Austin called as Area Seventy

I dropped into the local chapel for the first session of general conference and manifested my opposition. Philosophical question: if an opposing vote is made in an empty chapel and no one is around to see it, is it recorded in Salt Lake City? Good on you, brother. Much respect. - Doc Thank you. In ...

Re: Kirton McConkie's Randy Austin called as Area Seventy

I should note Russell Nelson's recent Facebook message. He attempts to bury the lede, but, nonetheless, here it is: Dear brothers, sisters, and friends, how grateful I am that we can watch, listen to, or attend general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend. I kno...
