Well, Mormonism makes no sense whatsoever. I mean you've asked a Q based on the reality that it wouldn't seem to make sense. (Only in Mormonism, right?)
But TN is right.
Here's a vanity I posted about this in July that explains it:
Lds Temple Haunted? Did Declaration of Independence signers appear as ghosts to leader? [Vanity]
The Lds then dead-dunked them and other eminent men and women in history. For a list of those they dead-dunked, see:
Visit of Former Eminent Men in the St. George Temple
So, the time frame that this eventual Lds "prophet" said the signers of the Declaration appeared to him was the month of August, 1877.
So imagine that. The "living prophet" that Mormons today still go ga-ga about for temporarily de-polygamizing their earthly lives had "another vision" just 13 years prior to that decision.
No, I asked the question because she used the term “dead dunk” which is of no meaning to me. I wanted her to clarify that, and her context of Mormonism along with our Founding Fathers. She has clarified her statement and I’m satisfied.
