But sacrament is nothing to do with Joseph Smith. Sacrament was administered by Christ well before Joseph Smith. Many if not all Christian denominations administer sacrament. I am sure Harmony has her reasons, just as have we all for going to church.

How are you and your wife by the way?

The sacrament as administered in the Mormon chapels is done based on the teachings of Joseph Smith. Therefore, you must believe in the divinity of Smith's so called revelation and restoration to believe that the Mormon administration of the sacrament is divine and correct.

Mormons scoff at the way other religions administer the sacrament to their patrons, especially the catholics with their wafers and wine.

Ok then. The thing I dislike about Methodist sacrament is that people have to kneel before the Vicar and those not confirmed just get a pat on the head.

There you have it then.

You cannot be a Mormon "christian" without believing that Smith was who they claim he was.

My observation of harmony is she does not believe that Smith was who he and the LDS church claim he was, therefore why does she keep up the charade?

I don't believe Joseph Smith is who he was made out to be. I don't believe Jesus was who he is made out to be.

The important thing here is the beef stew and biscuits. I hope they were delicious.

That is bullshaloney, Boaz, and you know it. There is nothing in the sacrament that mentions Joseph at all. And no one believes Joseph was divine. Where you get this stuff is beyond me.

Mormons scoff at the way other religions administer the sacrament to their patrons, especially the catholics with
their wafers and wine.


And other religions scoff at Mormons for the same reasons. So what?

It's simmering, developing the flavors. The house smells divine. Quite the smell to wake up to, after a lovely Sunday afternoon nap (and it's still snowing!)

Strangely enough, I can't eat much beef, pirate. But I do love beef vegetable soup thickened into a nice stew.

7" and still snowing!
