1. jw

a friend of mine was asking about the cult we all hold so dear, and i was explaining some of it to her.

i told her about elder's wives, and how they have both the prestige of that position, plus the social standing.

logically, it would be even better for a co's wife.

if someone asks this, the one thing you know they aren't going to say is "to get to the other side".

that's the classic, original answer that is apparently encoded in our dna, and quite probably on the very vibrations of the universe itself.. you expect something unexpected:.
