You, sir, are the pinnacle of Christian charity.

I politely disagree, since that person is actually you (but as the pinnacle of charity, you are too modest to admit it). Ultimately, it was an empty threat since he disappeared already. ;) Maybe he took my offer.

Permission to quote this in my sig line? :P

I take it back... please don't kill me!

Disaster adverted.

Mostly because I'm convinced you would return as a ghost, and I have a suspicion you wouldn't want to spend your time making clay pots with me.

Wut?

Ditto. I would spend my eternal existence making people think you grabbed their butt when they weren't looking.

Demise means: "Termination of existence or operation: the demise of the empire."

Missouri was never demised. The Bible has never made a wrong prediction. The book of Mormon has. This is one the many..........Does that not make you think that maybe Joseph Smith was a false prophet?

was never demised? :P

The Book of Mormon doesnt predict the demise of Missouri.

3a: Missouri

Missouri suffered greatly during the Civil War. Over 1,200 distinct battles or skirmishes were fought on Missouri soil; only Tennessee and Virginia saw more action on their soil.

Between 1862 and 1864, the western parts of Missouri endured guerrilla warfare. Although guerrilla warfare occurred throughout much of the state, most of the incidents occurred in northern Missouri and were characterized by ambushes of individuals or families in rural areas. These incidents were particularly nefarious because their vigilante nature was outside the command and control of either side and often pitted neighbor against neighbor.

Among the more notorious incidents of guerrilla warfare were the Sacking of Osceola, burning of Platte City and the Centralia Massacre.

"In 1863 following the Lawrence Massacre in Kansas, Union General Thomas Ewing, Jr. accused farmers in rural Missouri of either instigating the attack or supporting it. He issued General Order No. 11 which forced the evacuation of all residents of rural areas of the four counties (Jackson, Cass, Bates and Vernon) south of the Missouri River on the Kansas border to leave their property, which was then burned. The order applied to farmers regardless of loyalty, although those who could prove their loyalty to the Union could stay in designated towns and those who could not were exiled entirely.[4]

LDS readers will recognize that Jackson county was notorious for its treatment of the Saints, and it was among those counties from which inhabitants were evacuated and a "scorched earth" policy implemented. The commanding general ordered his men not to engage in looting or other depredations, but he proved unable to effectively control his soldiers, who were mostly Kansans eager to exact any revenge possible upon their Missouri neighbors. Animals and other property were stolen or destroyed, and houses, barns and outbuildings burnt to the ground. The area affected quickly became a devastated "no-man's-land", with only charred chimneys and burnt stubble remaining where once-fertile farms had stood.[5]

If one read's Joseph's prophecy as referring at least partly to the government of Missouri, then it was fulfilled dramatically. Nothing remained in many areas, and government in some areas broke down almost completely as various factions struggled for control."

Interesting, the same people who forced LDS people out of their homes, were themselves forced out of their homes during the war... what goes around comes around. They indured what they had previously inflicted.
