Apparently, it was Joseph who gave this supposed revelation. But I can see your point on the Phelps-Polygamy thing. Could you post a source for the information you posted about Phelps?
BTW, did you mean to sound hostile? |
Okay, I'll admit I pulled that info from Wiki (article
here), which for this particular article doesn't actually cite sources, interestingly. Aside from having looked it up here, I did previously already know that he had been excommunicated, though I did not know why nor that it had happened twice.
Did I intend to sound hostile? No. I intended to sound superior.

Back in the days when letters were put in one by one by typesetters, mistakes could and did happen.
So we know that actually the lamanites will become a PURE and delightsome people, not a white and delightsome people.

I never knew that. I've only ever heard "pure."

On the other hand, we had a bi-racial family in our ward a few years ago (dad was white, mom was black from Trinidad. beautiful accent!) and the oldest son looked like the spitting image of his dad, if dad were to get a deep tan. |
I have two funny stories that I thought of as I read your post. One is about a man I used to work with. Occasionally his wife and two children would come to the office to have lunch with him. Every time they did, after they left, we (he was the only man in the office full of women) would rave about how cute his kids were. Inevitably, his response was "Yep. Good thing my wife cheats on me!"
The other story is about a high school friend of mine who is now married and has one child. My friend is a platinum blond (natural towhead) and her husband has sandy brown hair. Their son has flaming red hair. She likes to tell people "It was the UPS guy." Incidentally, her husband works for UPS.
