00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:42.639
goes.

00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:44.399
That's<00:09:43.039><c> just</c><00:09:43.159><c> to</c><00:09:43.340><c> take</c><00:09:43.399><c> it</c><00:09:43.539><c> to</c><00:09:43.700><c> nowhere.</c>

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.259
That<00:09:45.039><c> will</c><00:09:45.179><c> just</c><00:09:45.399><c> bring</c><00:09:45.580><c> about</c><00:09:45.840><c> death</c><00:09:46.080><c> and</c><00:09:46.299><c> destruction.</c>

00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:50.240
So<00:09:48.600><c> somewhere</c><00:09:48.820><c> in</c><00:09:48.980><c> the</c><00:09:49.080><c> middle,</c><00:09:49.460><c> brethren</c><00:09:49.500><c> and</c><00:09:49.759><c> sisters,</c><00:09:49.899><c> we've</c><00:09:50.159><c> got</c>

00:09:55.019 --> 00:10:00.759
And<00:09:55.299><c> so</c><00:09:55.659><c> I'm</c><00:09:56.159><c> going</c><00:09:56.340><c> to</c><00:09:57.840><c> just</c><00:09:58.940><c> look</c><00:09:59.259><c> at</c><00:09:59.379><c> some</c><00:09:59.580><c> of</c><00:09:59.740><c> the</c><00:10:00.159><c> prime</c><00:10:00.399><c> roots</c><00:10:00.600><c> of</c>

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.399

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:59.279
And<00:10:54.759><c> so</c><00:10:55.159><c> we</c><00:10:55.639><c> marry</c><00:10:55.940><c> them,</c><00:10:57.500><c> and</c><00:10:57.600><c> they</c><00:10:57.820><c> enter</c><00:10:58.019><c> into</c><00:10:58.240><c> a</c><00:10:58.460><c> covenant</c><00:10:58.639><c> relationship.</c>

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.379

don't<00:11:03.299><c> we?</c>

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:07.059
We<00:11:04.179><c> find</c><00:11:04.299><c> out</c><00:11:04.500><c> exactly,</c><00:11:05.360><c> they</c><00:11:05.559><c> know</c><00:11:05.740><c> what</c><00:11:05.919><c> we</c><00:11:06.240><c> believe,</c><00:11:06.879><c> and</c>
