However given the investment by those in power and the fact that they themselves don't really buy all the “doctrine” and other fabrications, I suspect something is in the works. Look for a new “prophet” to lead the Church away for the Joe Smith way and towards a nice and wholesome mainstream Christian format. The “prophet” will assure the faithful the past 170+ years were all just a test....

I think they just started to test the waters with that idea last week, claiming that the Godhead is one in every way except one -- which one way is that He's NOT one...(yeah, figure this one out)...

Elder Holland Addresses New MTC Presidents and Visitors’ Center Directors Concerning the Doctrine of the Godhead (Jan. 27, 2012)

Here is what Holland said: He acknowledged that it must be unequivocally understood that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are separate and distinct individuals physically. “However, having said that, my testimony is that They are united—They are ‘one’—in every other conceivable way,” he said.

I think what's happened is that the Lds "apostle" highlighted in the above news release -- Jeffery Holland --has been dealing with cognitive dissonance... Holland is a well-trained academic, who knows how to evaluate evidence. Every time I have seen him since he became a GA, I get the feeling his head is about to explode from the cognitive dissonance. In fact, an ex-Mormon put it this way Jan. 4, 2012: "Holland is a well-trained academic, who knows how to evaluate evidence. Every time I have seen him since he became a GA, I get the feeling his head is about to explode from the cognitive dissonance."
Source: ...Jeffery R. Holland is a fraud, too?

The focus of that ex-Mormon thread linked above, btw, was showing that Holland the Lds "apostle" is a fraud: Here's a picture of Holland lying thru his teeth:

BTW, for those Christians who might begin to rejoice that the Mormons are "starting to come around a bit" on the oneness of God...think again...when you click on a link @ the LdsNews site above ... a link that elaborated further on Holland's comments, you find a comment from Holland claiming that Lds don't worship Jesus Christ.

The last time that angle was tried was Lds "apostle" Bruce R. McConkie.

So...we have Holland's cognitive dissonance where he's beginning to respect the evidence that God is one, after all (except for the Mormon doctrine that's he not one)...yet we simultaneously have Holland ignore all the Book of Mormon, Lds leadership quotes, and the Bible that say Lds are suppose to worship Jesus Christ.

I even reviewed what 18 or so prominent FREEPER Mormons said about worshiping Jesus Christ...and it was about 18-for-18 claiming they did. (Of course, the Mormon jesus is a separate jesus)
