Im holding in my hand my black hardcover copy of Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie, one of Mormonisms most influential books, an all-time Mormon bestseller, which went out of print this week.
A book written, Im sure, with the best of intentions by a revered Mormon leader. And, still, a book that continued to circulate even after other high-ranking Mormon leaders recommended more than one thousand corrections to its content.
A book that called Roman Catholicism the Church of the Devil. And a book that elevated to doctrinal status non-doctrinal folklore about the origins of the LDS Churchs ban on conveying priesthood authority to members of African descent, claiming that blacks were the descendents of the accursed Cain.
A book that due to its authoritative presentation and doctrinal fundamentalism gave many Mormons reasons for grief.
Mormon Doctrine (1958 2010), RIP.
We'll be waiting...
We're still waiting...
I got a BANG! out of watching that!
Just one small example of why the government will soon take over the internet to prevent anyone being anonymous anymore, because miscreants use that anonymity for negative purposes.

999replies you ponder the reason for anonymity it is because most if not all are closet Calvinist and they would get their clocks cleaned over their history!
If not; then many are....
but who gives a $hit about Mormon doctrine?
- - - - -
I do. But only because I was, for several years, trapped in that cult and the brave Christians (like the inmans here) who fought with me, challenged me, made me mad enough to try to ‘prove’ Mormonism correct and showed me that it COULD NOT be ‘true’ had a huge affect on me leaving Mormonism and coming to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
And I will be forever grateful to them.
Surely this is a joke? Right? A mormon talking about people getting "their clocks cleaned" over church history?
I suppose it escapes you about the mormon church's history?
JS's adultery, thievery, stealing, assault on persons, assault on private property, destruction of private property, destruction of virtue (stealing wives and young girls for his harem), etc.
YES! Let's talk about church history, I welcome this discussion.
BTW, you are not supposed to ping someone who's been kicked off the thread, no matter how badly you may want that posters inane support.
Resty, I think you have finally augered in....
Yet ANOTHER example of RESTY's FINE mindreading capabilities!
There you go AGAIN!!
Pinging someone who's been told to LEAVE the thread.
The entire FORUM even!
What does that have to do with this outrages you must be the bias one!
Try that again, and this time go slow or press one for English...
I know 999 has to learn the art of posting on the religion forum but he has asked questions that if the LDS did the antis could not take it
Many would turn the word and say it is the LDS being unfair when it is their daily campaign to smack around the LDS
These anti have hide themselves far too long it is the same MO once they were the Weathermen now the code word is Iman
The rest of the faiths espically Christian do not engage in this sport.
This is the same bunch from before just more cunning...

When a poster comes onto an RF thread and posts nothing but jabs at Freepers on one side or the other - not being a member of either side of the debate - he is a trouble-maker, a flame baiter. That cannot be tolerated.
Gee it is your History not a myth or embellishment like many try to do to the LDS by taking things out of context.
There is a real body here and Michael Servetus is just one of many along the Reformers way...
There is the Annabaptist and Tyndale
Yep the gig is up no more secrets as you guys like to claim you are an open book... ha ha ha what hypocrits!
