The LDS Church has issued a statement distancing itself from Rammell. The church also does not consider the prophecy, which is said to have come through its founder, Joseph Smith, as doctrine.

It is a milk before meat statement. You have to have the Mormon view point before you are allowed to get the "TRUTH". It is the same way that the LDS church distances itself from polygamy and a works based salvation. You won't get a straight answer (meaning not a lie) until you swallow the hook line AND sinker.

Just because it ain't 'doctrine'; don't mean we don't BELIEVE it!

Exactly. One of the reasons I left was when I was told in a Missionary Prep class that I was not to teach/discuss certain doctrines. I could not, in good conscience, serve an LDS mission and lie to potential investigators.

Since they claim they have the whole truth and the rest of Christianity is in darkness, why the need to lie?
