Yes, but your reaction is exactly why I never before mentioned these little facts about his character.

Remember that this event happened when Joe was a boy, back when he was a Baptist, before the Book of Mormon. Later, he was known to keep some liquor in his home and regularly imbibe. I forget his favorite drink right now, but when time allows, if you are interested, I will dig up the documentation for it. I'm surprised that you didn't know about it.

I did not mean to imply that, but only that he was a physical type guy who enjoyed wrestling and if a man had a beef with him, would not think twice about duking it out with him. You yourself admitted this, and seemed to admire that it took a "mob" to get the best of him. I was only agreeing with your previous statements, but indicating that I do not look at it with the same admiration. Blainer wrote: > Consider that you possibly have never known > a true man of God?

She was concerned about her reputation. I have known several men of God, and I think I know what they are like. Peace be with you.
