7 Demons of Mary??

Also, why is this inappropriate for a sacrament talk?

probably because we don't worship mary..

P.S. can textual critics weigh in on the Mary Magdalene = prostitute issue. Being a grace guy, I love the idea. But my understanding is that this is most likely not correct.

Most definitely it was Mary, Mother of Christ!

Are you talking to me? If so, on what question? My why is it inappropriate for sacrament question? Or is Mary Magdalene = prostitute question?

I guess I read your post as that they were trying to be more like her. Apparently I'm not funny.

I thought it was funny, but not appropriate for Sacrament Meeting.

I thought it was funny as well...plus it required me to throw in a qualifier...

I'm not appropriate for Sacrament meeting on most Sundays. Start with my shirt color and it is just down hill from there. Although apparently, based on Drum's experience, you can say almost anything and only the very alert will notice.
