As a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am quite honored to learn about the history of the church, the people & the history of the west.

We're honored to have YOU! Have you stopped to think, for a moment, that YOU are a Pioneer? Welcome! I see you posted this some time ago, so I'm sorry that it is belated, but you know the old saying: "Better late than never!" (If only I had known, Alas! ;-D) Warm Regards and Best Wishes from a Brother in Christ, -Ken K. Gourdin

I wish polygamy is still legal in the church. Many women are in love with me but they say polygamy is banned now. These women have been my friends since we were kids and we are comfortable with each other.

This is one story I have yet to understand. Fighting for a government that fought against them and is still an enemy to this day.

There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
