Every single vote I made is losing except Scripture Marking!

Temple Square
Cultural Hall
Cheerios
Scripture Marking

I think Scripture marking is unique from my experience. I have never run across anyone else who does it, and my husband, who was raised Lutheran, considers it almost sacrilege.

Such is the power of the brackets, though.

I attend Evangelical bible study on a weekly basis at work. Everybodies bibles are all marked up with different colors. I think you may have run into one unhinged evangelical with a large axe to grind.

Sad to see Angel M against T Square

Go Dear John!!!!!!

An evangelical classmate in college nearly ripped my Bible from my hands when he saw me marking it in class one day. Then he went on a diatribe in front of our Western Cultures class about how Mormons are evil because they change God’s word by marking their scriptures.

This is getting kind of interesting.

I’m thinking the next round is going to be pretty rough …

And it came to pass that they ate and slept, and prepared for death on the morrow. And they were large and mighty men as to the strength of men.
