McConkie said a lot of hooey about the priesthood ban.

McConkie misrepresented the Adam-God concept when President Kimball asked him to disclaim it.

McConkie overstepped his bounds in writing MoDoc and committed lots of errors, so just because McConkie and the fundies said, doesn't make it so. JFS and McConkie are modern day Irenaeuses', who would say what they wanted in order to win the argument.

Nothing inherently wrong with positivism, but if you're a strict positivist, that says a lot.
