questions for Joseph Smith when he shows up at the temple

[_Bond...James Bond]

I'd ask him if that was a flaming sword in his pocket or if he was just happy to see me.

I believe that's ole Bond.....well more of a dagger...a small dagger.

I think Joseph as a counter-jest should meet you all with that list in hand after your deaths. I think it would be funny.

This is the best thing I've seen here in the last six months. Bravo!

Moot musings, kind of fun but I think he is were ever he is and ain't going to appear anywhere. At this point he is about as real as Moroni.

10. Of what nature was his "sealing" to Fanny Alger when their romp in the barn was discovered at least a couple of years before the sealing power was supposed to have been restored in Kirtland? Did God tell Joseph Smith he could romp around with Fanny behind his own legitimate wife's back, or was that his own stroke of brilliance?

Could someone provide some references to the first question of #10 for me please? (I'm just interested in reading MORE of this PARTICULAR example of secondary "romping" before the sealing power was even restored)

I'd ask to shake his hand. After that, I'd see if he had anything to say.

I thought you'd already met him.

That was somebody else Shades.

I had a dream that I met him a few months ago. It's in my blog - along with other stuff.

But I would ask him who is going to win the next super bowl.

As soon as anyone comes up with a shred of documentary historical evidence, the kind you would need to back up a claim such as that, please let me know.

In the meantime, back to the mysteries of the universe...

There may or may not be evidence. Sometimes it doesn't matter.

my wife and I were married for two years before we had our first child. The question is, did my wife and I exercise all rights as a married couple in those two years? I would challenge you to find one "shred of documentary evidence". What kind of evidence would you need? Everyone else here knows the answer, except maybe you - which is one of the mysteries of the universe.

The Mormon church HAS provided historical evidence in rebuttal to the RLDS church and Emma Smith's denial that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy. Sworn affidavits that sex took place in 13 cases. I find it ironic that the earlier church went to such great pains to prove it did happen and the modern church is taking such great pains to do the opposite.

I have zero fear of Joseph Smith grilling me after my death. I've been a faithful wife, I haven't stolen my followers money, I haven't lived in a 'mansion' while my followers lived in cabins, I haven't been brought to court for fraud, I have good credit, I pay my debts, I have no criminal record and live a pretty boring suburban life. Bring it on, man, bring it on.

Yep. Our friend Hammer went so far as to say that the women who swore affidavits were lying. Unbelievable.

I'm not worried about it either. If there is a God, and I hope there is, I'll tell him with a clear conscience that I followed the truth the best I could. Coggins can hurl everything he wants at me, but my conscience is clear.

Coggins can hurl....

Hmmm....this is a worthy signature in the making.

I would simply ask him to justify canonizing his lies.
