??? Typical dishonesty Elsie. Tsk, tsk. The Journal of Discourses is not authoritative over Mormons - only the Scriptures. You of course know that.
You jumped the shark, Sweety!

Here’s a question for you:

Why hasn’t ANY LDS organization leader since BY said his statements were false?

****

Ed we been through that a thousand times with the same critics of the LDS, yet they act like they never heard the answer so why even bother with those who’s memories are either too weak or they really did not want an answer!

These Journals are called Discourses NOT doctrine for none of these have been gone over by the presidency for accuracy it is only so the many who were unable to attend have informatioin of the talks.

Journal of Discourses
Letter from the First PresidencyGreat Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, June 1, 1853,Elder Samuel Richards, and Saints abroad.Dear Brethren—It is well known to many of you, that Elder George D. Watt, by our counsel, spent much time in the midst of poverty and hardships to acquire the art of reporting in Phonography, which he has faithfully and fully accomplished; and he has been reporting the public Sermons, Discourses, Lectures, &c., delivered by the Presidency, the Twelve, and others in this city, for nearly two years, almost without fee or reward. Elder Watt now proposes to publish a Journal of these Reports, in England, for the benefit of the Saints at large, and to obtain means to enable him to sustain his highly useful position of Reporter.

You will perceive at once that this will be a work of mutual benefit, and we cheerfully and warmly request your co-operation in the purchase and sale of the above-named Journal, and wish all the profits arising therefrom to be under the control of Elder Watt.Brigham YoungHeber C. KimballWillard RichardsFirst Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Come on, Resty. You KNOW you mormons use the JOD to prove YOUR points, and aren’t held to the “Not Authoritative” code.
