Continuing prophecy ==> "We don't fully understand..."

Post by _sock puppet »

GBH: Didn't know about the King Follett doctrine
Elder Snow: We don't fully understand the reasons for the pre-1978 ban on blacks from the priesthood.

This Mormon god is apparently severely challenged and disabled when it comes to communication skills.

But by damn, we know how many earrings per ear and how to build a mall (well, sort of--lots and lots of cost overruns).

Isn't it marvelous?

Isn't it wonderful?

I wonder when the COB's admission that they do not fully understand what it means to be a Mormon will come?

No problem - they just need to ask a BYU prof.

Perhaps the last significant teaching of JSJr, and thrown under the bus by Hinckley. What a placeholder.

Over the last few years I have heard many Mormons in public forums state that Mormons don't believe they can become gods in the afterlife. That is complete BS! When I went to church this doctrine was the key reason we all got married, ordained to the p hood, and endowed in the temple because it was a requirement of having the same power as god in the next life.

Has the church abandoned this doctrine, or are they just lying for the lord in public settings? It disappoints me. I was proud of this doctrine of eternal progression as a tbm and now they are ashamed to publicly talk about it. It is a very unique doctrine and they shouldn't run from it.
Tapirs... Yeah... That's the ticket!

With the COB, the ends always justifies the means. PR will always take priority over principle. GBH was the worst.
