From the article: Most Mormons believe American Indians are Lamanites who descended from Book of Mormon peoples (Israelites that colonized ancient America). American Indians were therefore considered direct descents from the tribes of Israel, whereas those of European decent were typically thought to be "adopted" into the house of Israel when baptized into the LDS church.

'Tis so surprising that the genealogical "experts" can't even get Native American blood right re: its descendency.

From the article: Four years later reports circulated that Lee had molested a 12-year-old girl under the guise of polygamy in 1989. Lee's letters stated he had been accused of polygamy by church leaders, a practice forbidden by the Latter-Day Saint church since 1890. Lee later pleaded guilty of the molestation charge.

Apparently all Lee did was to do what Mormonism's top leaders did in the 19th century: Seduce a young girl via promise of "marriage." The only difference was Joseph Smith and Brigham Young & other Lds leaders involved 15 yo girls. Lee went younger.

People need to understand that under Lds ex-communication guidelines, its own founder and a good chunk of their past "prophets" would become ex-communicated.

You left out it all depends on what the next divine phone call, divine email, divine text message will instruct. Maybe everybody up and move to Patagonia.

I suppose if you were a protestant and had a wrist watch during the Salem Witch trials you would be burned at the stake.

It is not wise to judge people of the past by today’s standards.

DNA researchers around the world are shocked.
