At least the Mormons stay consistent to their values. — (Shadow44)

Not so much - Changed the ‘inspiration’ of blacks in the preisthood, and polygamy, and other stuff. [scrambler bob]

Exactly.

Lds say polygamy fine for "eternal marriage" even NOW...yet supposedly NOT fine for temporarl marriage...

Lds said polygamy fine for some families in 20th century; but NOT fine for most new unions in 20th century

Lds said polygamy fine in latter half of 19th century; but NOT fine in first half of 19th century.

What kind of a "god" is so wishy-washy?

Some of the questions and answers said in some of these remarks are absurd. Nearly all the churches in the USA probably most of the Christian Churches in the world except the Roman Catholic Church banned black people from their white congregations but now have them and black preachers.

The “Dateline SLC” is where the story came from not where the guy that excommunicated him came from.

The letter written explaining the excommunication explained that he was welcome to believe whatever he wished but that when he started working against the faith to teach others to believe something other than approved church doctrine then that meant they had no choice but to excommunicate him.

I don’t know know why someone would want to be a part of something they don’t believe in anyway unless they are somehow exploiting the church for their own gain.

As far as changing “Inspiration” to get rid of plural marriage, the Mormons still have plural marriage but you can’t have two living spouses whom you are married to at the same time. This was done because the Federal Government confiscated all Church properties and basically took over the church. If they wanted to run the church and get their property back they had to agree to the conditions of the Federal government. I would say that doesn’t require much inspiration, just a little common sense.
