I have my peace. I do not need your prayers. You are the poor souls who need to reconcile the actions of Elder Jensen with your beliefs that the MMM was not the responsibility of the LDS Church. Good luck with that.

Hey Ray! Meaning this an L D S news paper why do you choose to come on here if you hate the Mormons so badly? Why do you choose to harass us with your nonsense? Like it has been said before to you, no body living today within the L D S church had anything to do with the massacre.--in any way shape or form. Why do you choose to blindly not to acknowledge this? What is your TRUE bitterness and hatred for the church? Somehow, I don't think we are getting the whole story from you.

I want you to know that I truly feel sorry for you. You truly need the prayers of everyone. God help you, sir.

Hello Ray,
I don�t know if it will do any good, but I want to say to you personally and publicly that I am truly sorry that my ancestor may have participated in the shootings. I don�t know for certain that my g,g,g,g, grandfather participated, but nevertheless, I do want to apologize to you for his part if any in that dreadful and awful day in LDS history. I am truly sorry that you suffer over it, and I will pray for your comfort. If it happened to be a direct ancestor of yours that was killed, I pray for your forgiveness. I feel great sorrow for the massacre and wish with all my heart that it had never happened. I wished I could make it all better and change the past for you and everyone else of 150 years ago, as well, as those who live today. You have my heartfelt words on this. I leave my true thoughts with you, and to say to you now, that I am truly forever sorry. God be with you. May we all find peace within our Saviors arms.

Why do you stoop to putting words in my mouth. Just because I disagree you think it means I hate Mormons?

No, please, in all seriousness, do NOT pray for me! I cannot be sure what you would be praying for (perhaps one of those famous Mormon curses!)

Your holier-than-thou attitude blinds you. I have said nothing hateful about Mormons in general. I do not hate Mormons in general. I dislike some specific arrogant, self-righteous ignoramuses, but I dislike the same such in any religion.

I also dislike patronizing, condescending people such as yourself. But that doesn't make me a bad person; it makes you a patronizing, condescending person whom I dislike.

[Even Jesus disliked the Scribes and Pharisees, so give me a break]

I have been prompted to visit the site this weekend. I don't know why, exactly. But, I am supposed to go.
