Well youngster you wanted some proof of Joseph Smith drinking well how's this:

The History of the Church contains this information concerning an incident in Carthage jail:

"Before the jailor came in, his boy brought in some water, and said the guard wanted some wine. Joseph gave Dr. Richards two dollars to give the guard; but the guard said one was enough, and would take no more.

"The guard immediately sent for a bottle of wine, pipes, and two small papers of tobacco; and one of the guards brought them into the jail soon after the jailor went out. Dr. Richards uncorked the bottle, and presented a glass to Joseph, who tasted, as Brother Taylor and the doctor, and the bottle was then given to the guard, who turned to go out." (History of the Church, Vol. 6, page 616)


Under the date of May 2, 1843, the following statement is recorded in Joseph Smith's History of the Church:

"Wednesday, 3.--Called at the office and drank a glass of wine with Sister Jenetta Richards, made by her mother in England, and reviewed a portion of the conference minutes." (History of the Church, Vol. 5, p. 380)


In the History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 26, we find the following:

"The council proceeded to investigate certain charges presented by Elder Rigdon against Martin Harris; one was, that he told A.C. Russell, Esq., that Joseph drank too much liquor when he was translating the Book of Mormon;...

"Brother Harris did not tell Esq., Russell that Brother Joseph drank too much liquor while translating the Book of Mormon, but this thing occurred previous to the translating of the book;..."

I have more if you want!!!

Now go easy on the kid. Second thought, never mind.

Leonardo, welcome to the real world. My only advice is to stay focused on what's important. Your family and your relationship with Heavenly Father. Otherwise all this other stuff is going to drive you batty.

Good advice....!!!!!

Leonardo, here's another lesson you can learn here. People that don't believe the way you do are good people also. Take Just Reading. He may not see things the way you and I do. (I may not see things the way you do.) But he will be the first to defend people that are being harmed or being made fun of because of how they look, their sexual orientation, color of their skin etc. That is what I have learned here.

And some folks I need to learn to let go.

I hope you're being sarcastic in these silly posts of yours, Leonardo! I believe many people, especially people around here, are in for a huge shock when their day of reckoning comes! They're going to find out that they aren't as rightious as they think.

I was starting to wonder if Pittakos is up to his ole tricks again!

Or maybe our ole buddy Dubss is being his true teenage self!

If this turns out to be Dubss, it isn't going to be pretty. That's a promise Dubss.

I was thinking more along the lines of Tigerlily. Same naive beliefs.
