I just woke up one day and realized the whole thing didn't make sense--that God would bestow blessings on one super special group of people, and ignore the rest of humanity. I did not have the internet or histories such as yours to help me along. Thanks for

I thought the church had disavowed this as of late.

Just 5 hours south. And it's on the way to visit my kid at U of A; I do get up that way. Enjoy your brew.

Good work, George! I have a first edition copy of Mormon Doctrine. I'm hanging onto it. I wish I had J of D. The doctrinal changes in the church from then to now are amazing and worthy of documentation.

I liked the old schedule. Families had Sunday dinner in between meetings, and being a poor student I often got invites. It was great for socializing and making friends. Then Sunday nap. Then still sometime left before Sac mtg. I can't imagine a 3 hour Sunday block. Sounds like pure torture.
