Why is the Definition of Doctrine So Important to Some?

[_Tobin]

I immediately could tell he was one of "those" Mormons that couldn't accept the fact that the brethren often teach false doctrine from the pulpit.

Nope. The brethren most assuredly teach some false doctrines straight from the pulpit. Sometimes it makes it into publication, sometimes not. A publication example might be one of the GA's telling us that evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics in a 1990's Ensign. Nothing catastrophic however. That is virtually impossible because there are 15 prophets and apostles looking out for it.

Ok, I'll bite. If you are willing to admit the brethren can teach false doctrine, why do you persist in this "official" doctrine nonsense? After all, if you admit that the brethren can teach false stuff, then it is up to the membership to determine what is valid and not valid as far as pertaining to them. You should be just interested in what is true and what is not. Who cares how it is designated?

[_Polygamy-Porter]

So when his wife catches him masturbating to the thought of the all the heavenly pussy that he is getting in the after life, without missing a stroke he will say, "It's doctrinal honey, now be a good little help mate and hand me some tissue."

When she says, "OH MY GOD!", he will quip, "Damn straight I am!"

What's interesting to me is when he's nailed to the wall using his own definition of doctrine he's usually quiet.

This has never happened.

Paid ministry in the LDS Church. Yes or no.

No. Those who are paid aren't really the ministry.

"Today, as President Monson ministers throughout the world . . ."
