There is so much about Mormonism you won’t hear or see openly. You really have to search, or be an active practicing member for a long time.

Heree is a list of interesting sermons found in the Journal of Discourses. Now understand that it isn’t approved “doctine” but all these words were uttered by men who were chosen to be “mouthpieces of God.” They were supposed apostles and “prophets” of the LDS Church and these messages were recorded at the time of the addresses by someone that was trained BY THE CHURCH to record them. Many LDS will deny these teachings, yet they still use the Journal of Discourses OFTEN in their own meetings and speeches.
