Nope..... There are teachings and then there are doctrines. Not all teachings are doctrines. It always fascinates me how the wicked cannot understand basic logic and fact.

And it really doesn't matter which is which because they are both easily dis-proven by logic and reason.

There are no doctrines in Mormonism. There are only teachings, which can be denied or reinstated at any given moment. It all depends on how much tithing you pay and who you are related to and .....and....

From my perspective, these changes make your statement, MCB, a bit more on target.
So are the temple ceremonies doctrine or teachings? And since they've changed twice now since 2005, were the original teachings/doctrines spoken by men and not by God?
So when some Prophet said that everyone had to wear a poncho - and be naked - and have their naked bodies touched - he must have been speaking as a man. And for decades, Mormons had to get naked and have their naked bodies touched. Mitt Romney got naked in a Mormon temple, put on a sheet with a hole in the center, and had his body touched.
But tsk tsk, no more creepy naked touching. God was bowling or something, looked down at his Earth he may or may not have created, or may or may not have had created for him - saw naked touching, and said what the hell - and had it changed. Full body jumpsuits for everyone! Hooray!
