I am abstaining because the Valencia Stake Center on McBean Pkwy wasn't listed. I loved that church building. Lots of guys who could play ball and played often. Full court. Plus I made out with my girlfriend in the bishop's office during a stake dance there once."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

I say Nauvoo because of two things: Temple and Relief Society. When I say RS, I mean the RS as JS intended it.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

Dare I ask what you mean here?Originally posted by pellegrino View PostI say Nauvoo because of two things: Temple and Relief Society. When I say RS, I mean the RS as JS intended it."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

What about that part when JS married the RS leadership in order to quell Emma's use of the RS to further her polygamy investigations? Wasn't it also these older wives' job to prepare the younger girls for spiritual wifery? Is that how JS intended it?

I voted Kirtland. Too small in New York. Missouri and the New Jerusalem / Adam-Ondi-Ahman stuff is too edgy. Nauvoo's theocracy is a little militant for me.Originally posted by pellegrino View Postyou discovered my secret polygamophilic desires. (just don't tellEmmamy wife)
Plus, the Kirtland Temple is a fantastic building."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."
