This weeks words are not the most shocking vocabulary in the world, but interesting nonetheless. Take a look:
* Rectify - to set right; correct
* Libertine - a person who is morally or sexually unrestrained; freethinker in religious matters
* Remonstrate - to say or plead in protest, objection, or disapproval
* Sophistry - a subtle, tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning
* Scruple - an uneasy feeling arising from conscience or principle that tends to hinder action
* Semblance - outward aspect or appearance; a likeness, image, or copy
* Disconsolate - without consolation or solace; hopelessly unhappy; inconsolable
* Entreaty - earnest request or petition
* Profligate - utterly and shamelessly immoral or dissipated; thoroughly dissolute
* Blackamoor - a black person; any dark-skinned person
* Consternation - sudden, alarming, amazement or dread that results in utter confusion; dismay
* Anathema - person or thing detested or loathed
* Verily - in truth; really; indeed
* Buffet - a blow, as with the hand or fist
* Accede - to give consent, approval, or adherence; agree; assent
Most all of these words are pretty depressing, hurtful, or words you wouldn't use in a happy situation. I believe I will give you a couple of sentences in which each of this week's words are contained in my next blog and that might shed some light on the context of them as well as the troubles of the Mormon people.
