Still, better outcome than when we watched The Fighting Preacher on Sunday night. I took exception to the end credits where it says that he and his wife served the longest continuous mission at 25 years. My grandparents served from when they got married to when my Grandmother died. Then my grandfather served as a labor missionary by himself to the day he died. They "founded" about 6-7 branches, now wards. But the Church doesn't have records of brown missionaries. I believe the fight started when someone mentioned white privilege.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Originally posted by creekster View PostWhat do you mean the church doesn't have records of brown missionaries? This is a sincere question. My wife's family (self-described 'brown spots') had several very long-serving missionaries along the lines that you describe. Did the church not keep records of this? I find that claim very surprising given the church's penchant for keeping records of just about everything in great detail."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Originally posted by creekster View PostMakes sense. But I was a bit surprised because it seems like she is trying fairly hard to make a point about race that is likely more a factor of bragging by a couple than a factor of racism."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Thanks.usual dickheadself."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

That's why I said "I think," and not "She means," but go ahead and be yourusual dickheadself.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Hey KL, my grandfather served a 4-yr mission in Tonga/Somoa in the 1920's."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
