Mormon Dilemma 748

Dictatorship

Journal of Discourses 11:298; “The man whom God calls to dictate the affairs in the building of his Zion has the right to dictate about everything connected with the building of his Zion, yes even to the ribbons the women wear; and any person who denies it is ignorant.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, February 3, 1867

Matthew 26:52; “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”

It’s a good thing Brigham never heard of Burqas. 

Why must anyone feel they have the right to do such things to others?

How does Mr. Young’s bragging ways glorify God or bring Him honor?

Does God tell you what color of ribbons or shirts you’re allowed to wear?
