Ken Jennings is a great guy. Danimal served with his wife and we were good friends with his brother in college.

All of them remember being taught Jesus and Satan being favored higher than any of the Fathers other children. They remembered being taught that each presented a plan to the father. Jesus's plan was accepted and Satan was ticked and took 1/3 of the host of heaven into rebellion. Adam, another favored son led the 2/3 who approved the plan. It has really come as a surprise to me that some now say our belief is that Satan was just another one of the children of God and that is why we mention him as Jesus's brother and for no other reason. What we were taught must not be taught now or mentioned much. The younger people at the party really didn't know much or have an opinion on how favored Satan was. It seems a lot of things that were taught in my youth and early 20's have fallen by the wayside and are no longer taught as our beliefs. It is my hope the honor code will someday fall to that fate. |

I liked that part about how JS and BY really didn't want to do polygamy. Perhaps not, but they sure showed plenty of team spirit in the end.

Who are the prominent black leaders? The one that called into Hugh Hewitt's show and said that he was ok with the ban, because non-Levites were banned as well?

It depends on whether you count deceased persons (Helvecio Martins) or Area Authorities (several guys). |

Except for the polygamy part, I thought it was a well written response to all the attention the church has received lately. I was glad to see it published.
