I thought the latest spin was that he married her but they did not have sex???

I know that it is hard too keep up because the spinning changes direction constantly. It is kind of like riding a whip-o-whirl at the County fair.

At first, they were silent on the issue.

Then, restornu claimed that it was a marriage in eternity....but history points out that even Helen Mar Kimball was surprised, and distraught, over learning that it was a real marriage in time, as well.

And then, OMm posted an inference that the marriage was just contrived by an anti-mormon author's imagination.I responded that restornu, and even Mormon historians, confirmed that this marriage was a historical reality. I asked OMm to confirm that he was alleging that this marriage never really took place...and, as in several other cases, OMm did not respond.

OMm, then, switched positions and asked that I prove that consumation took place. When I posted a Mormon historian's confirmation that it did take place...OMm went silent on the subject, again.

Each of these ineffective Mormon defenses will, unfortunately, be used again...around and around they go.

You are bloviating and misstating my positions again. Get it right, for a change.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wondered about the mormons and “dancing”

The Quakers and the Amish etc would not have danced then, just as now...

Holiness required no mixing of the genders etc...

But it seems that the mormons were secular in their lifestyles...

From the New York Times in 1901...

There is mention that the dances had not changed in 50-75 years...

Of course.
