Quoting: "I, therefore, as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do hereby, in the most solemn manner, declare that these charges are false. We are not teaching polygamy or plural marriage, nor permitting any person to enter into its practice, and I deny that either forty or any other number of plural marriages have during that period been solemnized in our Temples or in any other place in the Territory."
Obviously other Mormon groups though that was also wrong, and continued the practice.
In any case, my point was about the changes in practice over time and the church now signing on to this court fight, which seems ironic at the very least. I wasn't casting dispersions on the faith... at least not then... but merely pointing out that history didn't exactly agree with this position, regardless of formal statements to the contrary.
fine believe what you want if that were the case it would have been rescinded sooner, instead of all the aggregation for man here on the earth, the Prophet had to wait until the Lord was ready.
But think what you want!
Have a nice day!:)
