I agree! The constitution specifically guarantees free access to Jello (Jell-O) of any color. The McCraney broadcasts are cruel.

I would be happy to spend my time and treasure to insure the release of detained Mormons if it were not for the pleasure I find in having so many more Starbucks to choose from. Not to mention being able to buy fine wines in the local grocery store.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Statutorily banning from voting residents of a state (Idaho) if they believed in marriage that lasted beyond this life. (It remained on the books as a statute, albeit not enforced for many decades, until the 1990s, when at last the Idaho Legislature repealed it.)

You don't condemn those who killed Joseph? Those who threw women and children out into the winter? Those who issued an extermination order than lasted over 100 years? You think relentlessly hounding someone or meddling in others' business is okay?

That's not me being "chapel". That's just me being true to myself.

Joseph lived and died by the sword.

Most, if not all of the woes that the followers of Joe and Brigham endured was due to their own fault for following these fools.

I'm certainly not 'chapel,' but I'm with Harmony on this. Wholeheartedly.
