isn’t the stretch from assault to the Perils Of Mormonism even a bit much for even you???...

Not if the same "spirit of Nauvoo" is operative and at loose now as was in the early 1840s. But that would be another discussion for another time & place -- about the out & out shenanigans Smith pulled to get 14 yo and other minors to "marry" him under the guise of "God said..."

In our culture, we convict Flds of such things and send them to jail...But when the "mayor-'prophet'" did it, he was "above" such things.

Some of the same posters you see ignoring the victim on this thread and indirectly defending the perp do the same in historical hindsight...they ignore the wily Smith as he preyed on young girls and about a dozen already-married women. What you fail to condemn in history (for example, those who fail to condemn the holocaust), you tend to repeat.

For a WHILE; at least!
