I didn’t give you an inaccurate answer. Your so-called put-down just proves the truth of what I said. If the “mean” marriage age was 20, then at least half of the young women getting married were teenagers.

Every supposedly brilliant point you make can be countered,but it isn’t worth the time. I’m not going to be part of your game of gotcha, so you can get together with your fellow “Christian” holy warriors and crow about how many Mormons you insulted this week.

It was not common for girls to get married at 15 or 16 in the 1800's. That is a myth and an inaccuracy.

Do you care to answer the simple/direct questions, now?

Probably not...but thank you for conceding victory!

I agree with you. The words of your leaders/apostles that he’s posting are quite insulting AND embarrassing to boot.

I understand how difficult it would be to to defend those words and direct quotes.

If the “mean” marriage age was 20...

Oops!!!

That should say "average", not "mean", according to the article and according to the other poster that responded to you on the issue.

And the average age of a woman getting married, at that time, was above 20 years of age.

Anyways...it stands that your response (girls got married at 15 or 16 back then - eventhough Helen Mar Kimball was only 14) to a "yes" or "no" question about Joseph Smith's polygamous marriage to teenage girls constituting child abuse is inaccurate.

Is asking you to provide a Biblical source for your comments about Jesus, aloso “insulting” ???

I’m still waiting for an answer to a question that was not insulting and did not require you to defend your mormon beliefgs ...

To: lady lawyer
It’s straight out of the Bible. It should therefore satisfy you. Jesus refused to debate with Pharisees. He knew it would do no good. He is good example.

Biblical source ????

I am sorry that you don't have the time (or the truth) to counter them.

It is good that you realize, though, that your half-answers, inaccurate answers, and non-answers didn't in any way counter what I posted.

And as I thanked you for your concession to victory, I also thank you for the kind words about my points being brilliant...I got so used to Mormons calling me an idiot, insane, dull, a bozo, etc., I forgot that Mormons try hard to sell the LDS organization by being nice.
