Oh power of discernment I hope it isn't so.

Not to long ago in Utah a family father killed his wife his children and than committed suicide and now this. Yes, it is not unique to Mormonism but the pressure to appear perfect does not help.

If you want to live with God in Mormon Candyland, you have to endure to the end. So why not bring the end early? It's like Heaven's Gate Lite.

Well which one gets to go to Candyland with him?

I shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the wife spilled the beans on the temple ceremony or refused to hand over brass plates.

You're right, this deadly dentist appears to have stuffed his wife full of poisons. You're also right to say that it's not restricted to mormons or to any particular social class.

This morning, my wife received the news that a literature lecturer at the university (where DW taught Mathematics) was killed by her partner last weekend. No details, but it does appear that some men still consider their partner to be their property and are prepared to use violence to "enforce" their imagined ownership.

It's horrible.

The weird thing is, he evidently had no business sense, and his practice was in severe financial trouble, not for the first time. Why the prospect of divorce scared him so much, I don't know. It's not like there was very much money to divide.

Divorce - lose money, reputation tarnished.

Murder, assuming you successfully blame it on someone else, known or unknown - gain money, gain sympathy.

My TBM aunt lives in Aurora I will not ask her if he is in her ward.

Will the lds church excommunicate him?

That's so important an issue that only the public relations department can be trusted to decide.
