The gym was so small that it was fast break city."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Here's a picture of the old LaGrande, OR Tabernacle. My Grandfather was the Bishop there for 20 years. I remember going to that church when we visited when I was a kid, and how huge it was. It was torn down in the 70's as there were concerns about it's safety and seismic vulnerability. I think a lot of the old church's were sold or torn down due to modern safety requirements.

Originally posted by clackamascoug View PostBrigham Young assigned people to live there as part of the State of Deseret. Just like the people in Canada, and the ones in Mexico. San Bernadino was also a Mormon settlement if I'm not mistaken.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

Originally posted by beefytee View PostThe Canada and Mexico settlements were more than just settlements. They were attempts to avoid prosecution for polygamy in the US.

He said... as he stirs the pot some more."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
