When did I quote something from 150 yrs ago?
Besides that....does quoting from 150 yrs ago negate it's truth? Mormon's have this habit of moving the target...whenever it seems to please them. How many changes have there been to, as you say the "official teachings of my church"?
Heck, there was a poster here on FR...that said he was only subject to the mormon doctrine that he believed in. What's up with that? Is that your tact also?
What you probably believe and what the teachings/origins of your church are, are more than likely worlds apart. You aren't alone.
You are a member of a church that's caught between trying like mad to be accepted on one hand...and on the other hand can't ( for many reasons...) shake the facts of it's origin.
FWIW-
The 150 year remark refers to most of the qoutes posted in this thread, but I am sure you already knew that.
Please, you are the one setting the target. You continue to tell me what I believe, when I know what I believe. Perhaps I should start telling you what you believe in, or I mean start making it up like you have been doing to me.
You continually refuse to hear what is said and refuse to honestly engage my posts.
I am proud of what I believe in, and have no problem talking to you about it, as long as you can be respectful.
