Not Catholicism ca. 900 A.D. as much as Christianity ca. 200 A.D. or Islam ca. 800 A.D.Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-57789371933623005842009-08-16T20:18:47.392-07:002009-08-16T20:18:47.392-07:00PV,

Especially when it is also a person in the woods looking for gold[en plates] and divine inspiration. <br /><br />The only thing kooky about LDS is that it is too new for it get the whole story straight and bury the early missteps.

That includes ethnic minorities (especially immigrants), religions, recreational clubs, and investing clubs. The best advice I can give is to NOT put your money with somebody you trust, but to put it with somebody who is licensed and regulated.<br /><br />P.S., "Moroni" is correct.Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-77170717119175766772009-08-16T11:39:21.805-07:002009-08-16T11:39:21.805-07:00wagga -- Moroni. :)wagga -- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Moroni" rel="nofollow">Moroni.</a> :)averagerainfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041138038155100450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-76283621052028406172009-08-16T11:22:51.341-07:002009-08-16T11:22:51.341-07:00Is that the Mormon angel in the pic?
