John, notwithstanding, I had better not ever see you quote "Judge not lest ye be judged" to ANYBODY, when they express an opinion at variance with your own. Particularly when you are a priest in a church whose official, exclusive doctrinal bible is the ONLY ONE in the world that lacks the verse quoted.

{Assuming that what Mr. Cowdery said was true}:Joseph and Fanny would have formed a "long term commitment" if the bigoted cave people in the church (often referred to as "crazed fundamentalists"), as well as Emma, had been tolerant enough to leave them alone, and not make "hasty" and "harsh" judgments of the kind you choose to make, John.

And was Oliver betraying a ministerial confidence (a breach of RLDS church ethics) by giving out this information? (if true.)

Was Joseph or Fanny convicted of this thing you termed "a nasty, filthy, dirty little affair" by a church court? George
