I sometimes, sometimes, wonder what those guys talked about behind closed doors with each other.
Things like the WoW. Banning tea and coffee out of spite because the women were complaining about tobacco spit and booze.
And then running saloons making profits from booze and still smoking/chewing after they had rec’d the “revelation” regarding WoW.
Comparing “notes” on their conquests, etc. Probably trying to see who could get to 100 first and win a case of 80 proof or something.
There have been hints of unwholesome gatherings being held in the temple in the early days...when I have time I will do more research on this, but I imagine the Great Mormon History-Cleansing Machine has already done its work and zapped much of the proof into the vault.
You know the answer. With their eyes glazed over they stared in wonderment, full of themselves declared: "We have a new group of little Danish girls just off the boat. All have been baptized and anointed properly. We will now draw straws to see who gets the first pick. Marriage will occur within the hour."
