Resty either doesn’t get it or refuses to, I don’t know which. But the fact remains, the lds do hide the truth with investigators and even with active members. The missionaries are taught to “skim the surface” with investigators. I recall how they spent the majority of the discussions explaining how “similar” lds were with Christianity.

You don’t seem to read well either
I told you I learn every things about the Church on my own not the Missionaries.
I had purchased the standard works and the set of the History of the Church I also had stuff of Walter Martin and list to John Anleberg, Dave Hunt and the Tanner light house etc
Before I ever met a missionary I as a young person heard about polygamy and the Mormon Church.
When I read the King Follet Sermon in the History of the Church my soul jump for Joy why because of understanding who we are I also understand that no one could be Greater than Our Father as Heavenly Father was but I also know how we as his children and opportunity to wonderful things someday.
I also know when that chapter comes up as a lesson it is understood where man position is in the scheme of things and even in the Pearl of Great Price the Lord tutors us where his children fit in.
None of us will ever be on the level of the Godhead but we will all be joint heirs.
Abraham 3
And the Lord said unto me:
These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they;
I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.

“I also mentioned BY’s statement about none entering the CK without JS’s approval and she didn’t have an answer.”

Ever hear of the jokes about pearly gates and folks can’t get through unless St Peter lets them in?
That is because at the time and that dispensation Peter held the keys which he passed on to Joseph Smith in this last dispensation.
I really doubt you ever understood the priesthood.
Mormon woman understands mormon priesthood better than mormon priesthood holder....ROTFL
And St. Peter is a joke but Joseph Smith is the real thing....< snort >
Oh I understood it alright. I understood that I if I worked my tail off and obeyed without question everything that came down from SLC I was going to get the "right" to become a god over my own planet, have concubines that I would keep eternally pregnant, pushing out spirit babies, etc.
Again, EVERYTHING related to mormonism is predicated upon the belief that JS was truthful, honest, chaste, etc. Which we know for fact is incorrect. He was far from it. He was the antithesis of those morals and that is what brings the house of cards called mormonism down.
I do not believe in JS. A prophet of God would not have behaved as he did. He and the subsequent "prophets" behaved like highwaymen. Not prophets.
