WASHINGTON, D.C. — News reporters and editors from around the country were urged to allow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to define themselves rather than to exclusively look to sources outside the church for definitions of what it means to be a Mormon or to explain LDS doctrine or history.
"Define us by who we are and by our central beliefs rather than who we are not or by obscure or irrelevant beliefs," Michael R. Otterson, managing director of public affairs for the LDS Church, said during a Thursday morning session of a conference called, "Politics and Religion: Getting it Right in 2012."

Otterson identified for the journalists what he considered the five most common stereotypes of members of the LDS Church — that they are not Christian, that they belong to a cult, that they are insular and secretive, that they are weird and that they practice polygamy.

Otterson explained that members of the church are troubled when they are described as not Christian "because that suggests we are not followers of Jesus Christ, and Christ's divinity is a foundational belief in our faith."

The Mormon church STILL conducts temple rituals for polygamy (for the afterlife).

Hey, Sandy, if polygamy isn't practiced why do you have young females writing message BYU board Q&As all worried about the CURRENT Mormon doctrine of polygamy?
Q: Dear 100 Hour Board, I know that in the church men are allowed to be sealed to more than one woman if their first wife passes away...I know this is church doctrine so I feel bad about having negative feelings about it, but I can't help feeling that it isn't fair. I worry too that I will have to share my (future) husband with another woman... -Troubled

Notice that in the responses nobody said "polygamy ended in 1890."
LOL
