All I did was write a review and this guy's come after me ever since. He's harmless.

I do find the following odd statement he perpetuates on this website (it keeps changing), as true: "Mr. Crockett completely discredits Mr. Bagley using Juanita Brooks as one reference to do so. " The fellow is an extremely poor writer. And repeatedly violates copyright laws.

is it true that goods were taken from the massacre and put in the Bishops store house; that Brigham Young rode in a new buggy taken from the massacre. Those were some of the things that leaped out at me when I read that page.

Historians do say that in Missouri Mormon raiders did burn down houses and bring goods back to the Bishops store house so if it is true it is nothing new regarding the LDS Church. I read where that was the last straw for some and they left the LDS church after that.

This is not new - The Hebrews took towns and the "booty". It was their land anyways. God gave it to them.

you want the virgins so you can't commit adultery. But you got to marry them so just have a close friend say a little something joining you two and you are again married

I was thinking that it would be wise for apologists to not defend something like a massacre. When one's primary purpose is to defend the Church, concomitantly defending evil that Church members have done, makes further apologetics much less credible. Sort of like they have no compass to distinguish between good and bad. Why defend the bad? A mea culpa seems much more honest, together with a reminder that this was a horrendous aberration.

Just a friendly thought...
