"Brigham Young built a whiskey distillery in Utah...The Word of Wisdom was not enforced as rigorously, or with the same requirements, in Brigham Young's day. Many speakers emphasized the Lord's patience in this matter, as applied to both leaders and members."
Bang a glass for Brigham. And enjoy your holiday parties! (But "not to excess" --Brigham)
So -- if you fail to bang 13 year olds, the Lord will strike you down. But if he commands you to avoid booze, it's OK if you ignore him for a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord has odd priorities, methinks.
