Another question I have is how did the church handle the post revelation but pre-abolition of S. African apartheid days there? Did apartheid ensure that blacks and whites did not live close enough to be in the same branches/wards/stakes? Or were our black and white congregations meeting together before apartheid ended? |

You have the authority and the power to cast me from heaven. Just thought I'd remind you. Also, I love your avatar, but you flatter me by placing me in the same league as Tex and Indy. I'm just a punk kid who's never had an original thought in his life. Quote:

Interesting. I'm not certain that I'd agree, but far be it for me to tell you what you are seeing. I do think there's been more ill will here as of late than previously.

Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!! Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

What is your avatar holding over his head? It looks suspiciously like a large jar of something.......

You said you do think there's been more ill will here as of late. I am an idiot. In response to your post now that I've read is correctly, it's odd how peace is disturbed when people of differing opinions discuss topics like religion and politics. It sure would be boring here without Indy, Tex, Seattle or myself. Cougarguard would be one neverending "I love you, you love me"-fest. |

There was (and may remain), a real life, practical purpose for the priesthood ban (and perhaps even the memory of the priesthood ban) that is plain as the nose on your face, and the ban has been very effective for its intended purpose. This is the great unmentionable. To the extent people today continue to defend the ban they help to retain its vitality and further this original purpose. Just like those arcane food prohibitions in Leviticus 11, the ban was born of real life, practical concerns.
