Light discussion. Miracle of Forgiveness bashing. Talked about writing for a wider audience and how holding back on being explicit might be necessary.

We discuss section 132 of the Canonical doctrinal text: the Doctrine and Covenants. Joseph tells Emma that she must accept plural marriage or be destroyed but she will still receive spousal support (he's not a monster after all). There are strong statements about eternal marriage and only happening on earth and not after death. Those not in eternal marriage will be ministering angels to those who have eternal/polygamous marriage. Really sells hard what is greatly de-emphasized by the modern Mormon church, Fundamentalist Mormons, according to the Doctrine and Covenants, have the larger Mormon Church dead to rights about being wrong about plural marriage. Interesting how the conflict is not actually resolved on a doctrinal level but the corporate messaging does a lot of heavy lifting while "spiritual" plural marriage remains the doctrine.

We read from the Miracle of Forgiveness, actually the Miracle of Anything Other Than Forgiveness. We go on a rant about the evil policy perpetuated by Kirton McConkey telling Bishops that they do not have to report child abuse, you absolutely do not have to report, when the moral action is to report child abuse to civil authorities.
