Church to put out doctrinal clarifications???

Post by _mms »

I have heard a rumor of a rumor that the Church is going to post some clarification of church doctrine and history on LDS.org in the next few months. Just a rumor of a rumor, but you're bored, right? Anyone else hear anything about this?

[edited to say that the rumor is that this is to occur in the next few months and not immediately]

He wrote that he "just heard a rumor that" what you said.

So, yeah, there is that rumor. :D

What will be first?

1. The Church publishes its accurate history and starts teaching it truthfully.

Or

2. Will Schryver publishes...well...anything.

It may end up in a tie....

I heard a rumor that the church is going to stick to some sort of doctrine. I'm skeptical, though.

Maybe the brethren heard a rumor that inactive amateur apologists are declaring what is official doctrine and what is not official doctrine, denying the church teaches stuff that it does, and claiming the church teaches stuff that it doesn't, and proclaiming that you have to be a Republican to be a Mormon.
