COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah On Christmas Day in 1964, the day before Darius A. Gray was to be baptized as a Mormon, he learned that the church would not allow a black man, like him, to be in the priesthood.
I was not amused, Mr. Gray recalled with a rueful smile.
It was last Saturday, and we were sitting with about 300 other Mormons, including dozens of children, at the annual picnic of the Genesis Group, a social organization for black Mormons and their friends. Some were Latino or American Indian, and nearly half were white, the parents and siblings of adopted black children. It was the most racially integrated church event I had ever attended.
Having been introduced to Mormonism by kindly white neighbors in his hometown of Colorado Springs, the teenage Darius read his way through much of the scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had no idea about the racist church policy. His newfound faith was badly shaken.
I went home and prayed, Mr. Gray said. And I received a personal revelation, an inspiration from God: This is the restored Gospel, and you are to join. So the next day, I entered into the waters of baptism. Then the next day I went to church as a member for the first time. And a little girl addressed him using a certain racial epithet. That was a first, too.

Your own words testify against you.
Then SHOW them and PROVE me to be what you claim;
otherwise you'll go down as just another Accuser of the Brethren...

Is that the name of your cult?
"The Bretheren?"
I’m glad you’ve finally admitted you have no evidence for the jury.
Case dismissed.
If not, what weirdo thing is it?
Do you live in a storm sewer? The only person I ever met who talks like you panhandled in front of the grocery store and slept in the storm sewer behind it.
Really your authentic source is wiki which is written by the whims of men even antis!

EPU, desparate that he is being shown to have NO evidence to back up his claim; falls upon his sword while attempting to besmirch the good name of one who has posted FACTS about and from the MORMON Religious Empire.
If not, what weirdo thing is it?
Revelation 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
The Word of GOD 'testifies' AGAINST MORMONism.
Why are you still stuck in the tangled web of MORMONism; Resty?
We are praying that you come to the TRUE CHRIST; the One who is ABLE to save - BEFORE you 'do all that you can do'.
HA HA HA!
This is RICH; coming from a member of one of the biggest 'RE-editors' of MORMON data in WIKI!
Poor Resty...
You are EITHER a sly, MORMON bait-and-switcher, or you are IGNORANT of what a BIBLE is!
From YOUR link:
He entered into an unholy covenant with Satan, by which he became known as Master Mahan, or master of this great secret, and by which he could murder and get gain (Moses 5:2931).
Honey; Moses ain't BIBLE!
I show how BOGUS they are!!
