I admire you for trying, but all these pinheads will never listen. OF course, they don’t ever say what denomination they belong to and why they think there church or denomination is the best one. I think it is very troubling that “conservatives” want to bash and trash a religion that is centered around Christ and even has the honesty to use his name in the name of the church. Not “baptist” or “nazarene” or whatever name that could be used for a sports team.

Never thought of myself as a pin head before but as I started reading the article I truly thought it was some type of joke or parody on the church.
I couldn't get past Young's section and just skimmed through the rest. It made me sick to my stomach to see how the LDS can sugar coat their history when it is needed.
It amazes me that any part of the church history that is brought up that doesn't fit todays image of the church is called anti mormon. Most all that I have read on these Mitt threads that bring up valid questions on early teachings of the church are accused as anti mormon.
Is it considered anti mormon that the church at one time taught that the only way blacks (or any non white) would go to heaven would be as our servants??
I read alot of these threads that come out on the church and I am saddened how very little the LDS know their church history. Or the excuses they can come up with for the reasons some things were done as they were.
For the record I was raised Catholic, then spent 20 years of my adult life an active member of the LDS church and raised two of my children in the church.
I got tired of all the sugar coating going on trying to make LDS look the norm as far as Christian churches go. Trying to hide away uncomfortable speeches past 'phophets' made, and so forth. I now attend no church but have a very good relationship with my bible.
