Huge expose against the church!!!
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_12504762?source=most_viewed
<yawn> But it does point out that modern-day polygamy is honored in the proxy temple marriages. Which I suppose is a sign that the church is not willing to say that polygamy of yore was a non-doctrinal mistake. Nor could it in my opinion. If you throw out D&C, I'm not sure you have a Joseph Smith after that. |

as far as I know the church has never felt comfortable making the judgment on who should get the ordinances and who shouldn't. As offensive as it may seem to give them to former members exed for polygamy, I don't think we should be setting these policies based on what outsiders who don't believe in temples anyway think we should do.

I think Barnes is pointing out how crappy the system is given that the dude has been baptized 4 times now. Actually a huge percentage of proxy work done in the temple is a repetion of work already done, because of poor record keeping systems by the church. Heard this straight from the stake genealogy person.

From the sound of it, he likely needed more than one round for the treatment to be effective.
