Well all points considered I may actually agree with you on something DU.

I think, towards the end, Joe Smith really believed he was a prophet.

I also think that lady that was committed to the hospital where my wife works really was convinced she had swallowed her Cockier Spaniel also, so the bar is not really set to high...

I wonder who different things would have been if ole’ Joe had the benefit of modern behavioral health treatments..

Cross it out, conceal it, or excise it, and carry on as if it never happened!

I admire your unabashed willingness to be blatant about it - I think...
