I interested to know when you think that the COJCOLDS apostatized?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is both apostate and yet never apostatized as they never were a Zion to begin with. They always were a fallen and misbegotten bunch who had the right and power and knowledge for a season but would not put it together. The sycophants kept it running after a fashion but lusted for the wonders of the world and its learning and money making machinations. Zion weeps.
A man can be a true saint and fail as a prophet or apostle. I put the first five after Joseph Smith in that category. And as Liz pointed out, I think by her link, Lorenzo was a fallen saint and son of perdition, a traitor who betrayed Joseph Smith to his death.
Everyone from Grant on is a spiritual tragedy, travesty and clown. I hold forth by my suddenly thrust forward hands showing twin signs (thumbs extended) meet for their abominations. These all have willfully sinned against the gospel and allowed Satan to rule in their hearts in great pride.
In fact I put Joseph Smith in the failed column for not realizing a true Zion. He failed to teach the gospel adamantly. Never threw off completely the Protestant culture. Though he lived to regret it as he himself declared that he would have a reformation and cleanse the Church. And so he died.
The virtue of the restoration kept its vitality hidden, as it were, in the wilderness of obscurity and darkness that Christ could do his own work of it.

Yes, liz and harmony I believe the revelation of D&C 132 as true. What the recreational Mormons failed to realize is that all temple rites are ONLY for the sanctified. Hell, I have lived 60 years upon this earth and have yet to find a sanctified woman who could be rightly sealed.
That's where the entire Brigham and friends polygamy got comical and absurd and led on by tares in high places so as to never be corrected in their gross errors. We be gods in embryo they wrongly supposed.
Would you put your wife through the conception of 20 billion kids of the exalted seed variety or get her lots of help? You should look up my spermatorium spa concept, only a theory mind you. I do not remember where I just wrote about it. Women will conceive like catching a virus.
And now I am thinking of spirit offspring as tadpoles swimming about in the atmosphere as they grow and not gestating inside the belly of their mothers. hmmm? I know I think too much. But there's got to be a better way, 20 billion? You want to be a REAL mother? Get thee to the Garden.
