Hinckley Testifies of Mormons Worshiping J Smith

[_schreech]

I told'ya time and time again, there is no such thing as Mormon doctrine. There are books entitled so, but they are not doctrine.

There is no such thing as Mormon doctrine. There are only Mormon teachings. And they can be denied at any time, by anyone.

I am an authority, well on my way to god-hood.

What you do not smell is called Iocane doctrine. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquids, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.

President Hinckley could not possibly have been unaware of the larger Mormon movement, nor that all of the various sects claim to be "the real Mormons." His statement is nothing but PR spin to make it look like these polygamist clans in the news have no connection to the same foundational source as the LDS Church, and that is not true.

The LDS Church desperately wants to be included among "Christian" churches and whines that other denominations don't get to define what "Christian" is, but the Church also wants to define what "Mormonism" is such that the CoC, the Strangites, Bickeronites, FLDS, Nephite Church of Christ, etc., all of whom believe in Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, aren't "Mormons."

It does not matter what he knows or does not know about the "larger Mormon movement." He believes, as do I, that the only Mormons are those members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Likewise, it would not matter if another sect which claims to be "real Mormons" said something to the effect of: "Polygamy is true doctrine and anyone who doesn't practice it is not a true Mormon." For them, that is true doctrine. For us, it is not.

You are either lying or being ignorant. It is STILL doctrine. The Manifesto did not cancel the doctrine, it cancelled the PRACTICE of it

Does your mental midgetry know no bounds? I honestly cannot believe how unable you are to grasp the simplest of concepts. I dare say I might have to place you in the same category as Joseph, Polygamy-Porter, and Atticus Finch.

Do you imagine, for example, that cite and kite mean the same thing?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are very much different. The hyphen, the lowercase "d", and the word The are all different.

I wonder how long my dad was wandering around the Celestial Kingdom looking for his 2nd sealed wife before god came up to him and said, "You do realize that your second temple sealing doesn't count, right? It's not doctrine anymore. I really wish they'd cut out those multiple sealings..."

Wouldn't it more accurately be called lococaine?

As long as we know you, we absolutely know mental midgetry

wow....if this was an answer on Jeopardy, I would ask, "People who all are Simon's puppet masters?"

Ah, Finchy, I see your first grade reading level has finally paid off!

So D&C 132 has been de-canonized since I stopped attending?

You forgot a few with Mormons roots:
