Wow, a God who changes his mind and, allows man to dictate church policy based on the law (mans).

The articles of Faith (http://scriptures.lds.org/a_of_f/1 ) Pre date the outlawing of polygamy. We are commanded to obey the law of the land. We did not change anything, true the law of the land changed. (Render unto Caesar what is Caesars…) Jesus has always preached living with the current government, his kingdom is not of this world.
You sound like a modern Pharisee (IMHO)
Wow, two misstatements rolled up in a single sentence.
First, there is nothing in the paragraph you cited that would indicate that God changed his mind about anything. The action of the LDS Church was entirely consistent with our Twelfth Article of Faith: "We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
When the Supreme Court ruled against plural marriage, it left the Church with a choice: Keep God's commandment regarding plural marriage or keep God's commandment to obey, honor, and sustain the law. It was not possible to do both.
So the President of the Church asked God what was to be done. The answer was to discontinue the practice of plural marriage.
Which brings me to the second of your misstatements, that a man dictated Church policy. It was not so: the President of the Church acted according to revelation. God dictated Church policy.
It seems like the Lord has changed his mind several times in the OT there was plural Marriage and than there wasn't
Humm!
