How much would it suck to be the Prophet's younger brother? Like being Jan Brady

He was very sick... which was no excuse

He was also stuck in his jacket, I think. Those Smith boys were all big athletes

Yeah... I think he really got caught off guard

There were some issues in that family. William never really fit. Poor kid was

It's a crime for man to go philanderin and fill his wife's poor heart with grief

It's not often that cultured cougar fans quote Lerner and Loewe.

You mean when a mob of men attacked him, unprovoked?

binghammer

12/25/14 2:01pm

He knew he was dead anyway. The fighting he did that day was for the very lives

The saints in OH, MO, and IL actually very rarely got violent

I'm very well versed in Joseph smith history.

Joseph was by no means a pacifist.

You didn't just compare Jesus overturning the tables in the temple to the brawl.

My point is that there is a time for peace, and a time for brawling
