Thanks for sticking up for me, 999replies. I didn't realize Tennessee Nana was looking for a response. I thought those posts were merely for entertainment value.
It looks like he/she stated some facts that not only disputed this article, ...
Just curious, what did I dispute from the article?
I don’t know who is who so I’ll address everyone here. Three questions for you Mormons:
Do you believe that you will become a God? Is that your goal?
Is our God, Yahweh or Jehovah, the I AM - the ONLY God?
lol
“They are close, some mormons believe that baja California was the location of the bom events.”
Oh, yea. Very, very, very close!
Well, tell that to my uncle who had four teenagers and a wife dying(they believed) in the hospital, for more than two months, of a brain tumor and not one person from their ward offered help. With the exception that someone brought them pizza on Thanksgiving. (Yes, my aunt did finally recover)
Actually the average days travel for wagon trains was 10 miles a day...
and that was with oxen which were stronger and more durable than horses...
These people stoppesd along the way too...
They would stay at a place they called Winter Quarters...
Did Brigham Young provide for the families there ???
Often the mormons had to beg from the symathetic non-mormons along the trail...
APOSTATES ???? Oh noes...
many mormons almost starved to death at Winter Quarters...
and some usually died...
Brigham Young could have cared less...
He needed warm bodies ...
Men to build up his army of vigilantes..
Women to be the extra “wives” he had promised the men as an allure...
and slaves to work in his kingdom...
When it came to distinguishing what went into Brigham's personal pockets, and what was the church's, even faithful Mormon authors recognize that "The major problem...which took two years to straighten out after his death, was trying to determine what was in his name and what belonged to the Church. Brigham had never seemed greatly concerned about the distinction, and that's the reason he resigned his position as trustee-in-trust for the Church four years before his death. (George W. Givens, 500 More Little-Known Facts in Mormon History, p. 157)
Givens says: "Non-Mormons...have always contended that Brigham Young enriched himself at the expense of his followers to the tune of several million dollars. In fact, Ann Eliza Young's divorce lawyers, trying for a sizable settlement, estimated his wealth at 8 million dollars."
Brigham countered to those attorneys that he had "only" $600,000. We have to remember this was 1873 non-inflationary dollars! Young's lawyers says Young exceeded $40,000 income per MONTH! (Young claimed less than $6,000 per month).
Some say Ann Eliza was wife #19....or #27...looks like the actual # was that she was one among 52!
So the families may have been left in July but probably struggled for over a year before the men folk came back.
I am pretty sure there is winter in the year.
Or I over Nacho Libre; either!
Doesn’t look so SPARKLING from the picture!

I don’t knows on second...
The mormon Battalion in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.The only battle the battalion faced was near the San Pedro River in Arizona, November 1846. This area was home to a number of wild cattle. The battalion's presence aroused curiosity among these animals, and the bulls of these herds caused destruction to some of the mules and wagons.
In response to this, the men loaded their guns and attacked the charging bulls.10-15 of the wild cattle were killed in this effort.[6]
And yet, today, we are STILL battling MORMON bull!
Oh; yeah...
ROFLMBO
