Blainer) First of all, I find it difficult to carry on a mutually respectful conversation with you when you refer to a man I greatly respect as "Joe Boy." His name was Joseph Smith. Secondly, you misunderstood what I was saying. Joseph was simply trying to be kind to his wife by not telling her something she did not have faith enough to accept. He loved her too much to upset her. Haven't you ever kept something back from someone because you did not want to upset that person? He had the commandment to practice plural marriage to keep, just as Abraham had the commandment to sacrifice Isaac to keep. Both prophets kept the truth from their wives. Neither wife had the faith to accept the Lord's will under such trying circumstances. I know many women who are stronger in the > faith than > their husbands. Blainer) Yes, so do I, but that was not the case with Joseph and Emma. I'm not saying women shouldn't be under authority > but > mormons make them out to be wimps. Laura Blainer) I am simply stating the facts as I know them. This has nothing to do with women's treatment by Mormon men in general. In fact, I think Momon men treat their wives far better than the average, and respect them for their strong faith. The above cases were unusual to the extreme. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
