Obey the law of the land. This means civil disobedience is contrary to the counsel of the Prophet. Not a good place to be.

In my short life, maybe so. But it would hopeully have presented a dilemma for saints just a generation or two ago. Would you have supported segregation and Jim Crow laws because they were the "law of the land"?

My hope is that Joseph was more George Baily than Uncle Billy during the whole episode. I wonder if Violet and Fanny Alger bear any physical resemblance.
