Huh? For a person who keeps claiming they are not defending mormonISM you sure do spend much time defending it. The flds practice what Joseph Smith taught, the lds group in SLC does not.

I know that. It's funny you think I don't.

You are not following the discussion.

Let's start at the beginning.

Colofornian said this: "To see how the Mormon church tried spinning Warren Jeffs as a continuation of 120 years of polygamous Mormon "prophets" yesterday, see: Warren Jeffs and the abandonment of tradition" [Real MormonISM]

Read the OTHER article Colofornian links here:
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700170419/Warren-Jeffs-and-the-abandonment-of-tradition.html

Now SVCW, tell me did Colofornian accurately summarize it? Does the article actually say that the Mormon church today is spinning Warren Jeffs as a continuation of their prophets?

Not even close.
He could have said the LDS historically practiced polygamy. He could have said a tiny offshoot splinter of Mormonism representing less than 1% of the population practices it today. He could have offered a multitude of valid criticisms about Mormonism, questioning the validity of their beliefs and behavior.

Instead he chose to lie and say the LDS sanctions Warren Jeffs and "spins him as continuation" of their prophets. When the truth is exactly the opposite, the LDS has done everything they can to denigrate and distance themselves from Jeffs and other FLDS type splinter groups.

Why lie?
