Which leads one to ask, if they are lurking, how come a prophet of god can't keep his own story straight and why would I follow that guy?
BTW an interesting sight that Zilla brings us lurkers and friends, Think Mormon.

Seems the “issues” PD keeps saying are “answered” and old and tired have gotten their sleep and are wide awake even for those still going through the motions of being LDS for familiar or social reasons...
Not that I want to say the PD is "misrepresenting" things (really since he basically says nothing that is a "given")
But a bunch of Mormons don't follow all the history and such that the LDS higher ups swear by? Hum...
From the 1994 LDS Conference report, Hinckley addressing the conference:<
On the other hand, the whole design of the gospel is to lead us onward and upward to greater achievement, even, eventually, to godhood. This great possibility was enunciated by the Prophet Joseph Smith in the King Follet sermon (see Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 342-62) and emphasized by President Lorenzo Snow. It is this grand and incomparable concept: As God now is, man may become! (See The Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, comp. Clyde J. Williams, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1984, p. 1)
