I was cruising around on RFM and saw this:

Apparently RFM posters are commenting.

There's going to be an Osmond concert when we go to Missouri?

I think they already have a toehold in Branson, Missouri. Anyway, is this is end of the world stuff, I wonder if we can get a live Internet feed?

One of the comments (on that site) says:
"If you want to write about the Mormons, get your information from a Mormon! ..."
Well, I'm trying to get a little information:

This is an absolute falsehood.
Quoting Pres Hinckley: I don't know that we teach that (eternal progression).
Either he's telling the truth (and we both know he's not), or he's not telling the truth and he doesn't know his own religion very well.
Harmony, you should know that we know a lot more than we teach. The word TEACH is important here.

TEACHINGS OF PRESIDENTS OF THE CHURCH
BRIGHAM YOUNG
CHAPTER 4 : Knowing and Honoring the Godhead
Suggestions for Study
"The doctrine that God was once a man and has progressed to become a God is unique to this Church. How do you feel, knowing that God, through His own experience, “knows all that we know regarding the toils [and] sufferings” of mortality?"Page 34

OK, here is the word "study" and "doctrine", not the word "teach".
Is this taught or isn't? I'm waiting the information from a Mormon.
