Let's say SLC lds repudiates their past, publicly acknowledge who they were.

They CAN'T!

To do so would be to repudiate a MORMON leader, and they've been indoctrinated that to do that would bring the Spirit of APOSTACY upon themselves.

Yep, bottom line there is no distinction between old mormonism and current mormonism,

They cannot 'openly', but just as cinos tend to ignore what they don't want to endorse from The Pope, individual Mormons probably ignore what seems irrelevent or an impediment to them in what they want to do. As a Christian, I communicate with the Lord all day long. That's why it's good to memorize scripture passages, so you can listen to God when you ask a question of Him during your day. It's also healthy, spiritually, to review your day before dropping off to sleep, and open your self up to His working on you even in your sleep.

I wonder if LDSinc adherents communicate with Joe Smith all day long? Do 'modern mormonism' adherents memorize passages from the book of mormon (the BM) so they can listen to their 'merely a man promoted to godhood by a council of gods' during their day? I wonder? Even more strange would be to memorize passages from the Pearl of Great Price to use for 'listening to the god of MormonISM'. Can you imagine?
