Why the Church backed Prop 8 and other anti-Gay ballots

Cough up a name, psycho. :)

You people... don't you know anything? You're just supposed to take his word for it on faith!

Sorry, but unless his relative was SWK, I remain unconvinced.

Drifting,

My information is factual, but it is not "verifiable". Some factual things are like that. I can tell a crowd of Evangelical Christians that "Christians" used to spit on me and threaten to kill me when I was a Mormon missionary. They laugh, call me a liar, or say "prove it". There is no way I can prove it, since I did not have a film camera rolling at the time. But...it happned. It is factual. Not all facts can be verified, especially since Hinckley is dead, and would never vertify, and Hinckley's close male relative is still alive, but would LIE about it I'm sure if asked. But what I wrote was true nevertheless.

You're certainly right that not all facts are verifiable. But, lots of claims are sufficiently extraordinary that I simply cannot believe them on the basis of mere assertion, and your claims about Hickley and his relative fit into that category.

and this was published in "The Improvement Era" (as all excommunications where in those days),

One would think at least this part would be verifiable.

This post caused me extreme trauma. I agree with space on something.

I was never a fan of the man. I like that spelling.
