Re: The Happiness Letter Origin
I feel reasonably sure that I learned of the happiness letter and its connection to polygamy back in seminary. I thought every Mormon understood the importance of polygamy. I am also pretty sure I was unaware of the extent of use of scurrilous accusations and character assassination to protect the ...

Re: The Happiness Letter Origin
All ethics are situational ethics. The right decision depends upon the situation. Normally it is wrong to kill somebody. We are all aware of exceptions to that rule. Some of those exceptions can be painfully problematic. My years is college were spent under the cloud of an expected draft into parti...

Re: The Happiness Letter Origin
You mean like this? At this point Joseph Smith could now conduct meetings and polygamous proposals in secret, away from his legal wife Emma.

Re: The Happiness Letter Origin

Usually people who don't know these details just didn't pay attention when the quorum advisor was talking. The Church can't be respon...

Re: The 2nd Amendment in the 21st Century
Another related trend line here is how gun sales and mass shooting deaths spiked in the spring of 2020 and have stayed high just as folks have been "picking up" on a negative vibe. It seems access to firearms is making it worse not better. I would agree with you here. But if our goal is truly to do...

(more specifically the bolded seciton) " Happiness is the object and design of our existence , and will be the end thereof, if we pursu...
