This one can be tossed, I think.
JFS wouldn't have needed to issue the second Manifesto in 1904 had the practice stopped in 1890, nor would John Taylor have been excommunicated for performing post-Manifesto polygamous marriage ceremonies.
but when it comes to being read or deeply read in Church history or doctrine, you just are not there.

Lol. Very funny coming from someone whose entire education has been derived from frontpagemag.org.
Actually, as I've stated on numerous occasions, my education began in my youth, long before the excellent critique-that you fear so deeply-at Frontpagemag.com was even available as an antidote to the carefully formatted and ideologically vetted propaganda I had been receiving most of my life up until that time in the mainstream pop media.
As you have openly declined Bob's offer, I assume this thread is now closed.

Sadly, Bob is getting his butt kicked on the issue of whether or not the Church hides its history. See ya!
I challenge you to a debate on this board with respect to one of the following topics. We would begin at midnight on a selected day, and we would ask Shades if it is possible to lock everybody else out at least for the first 48 hours, and then all else would chime in. You will have the first shot at answering the question.
