Where is the development of our age? Inventing new internet porn? We are a generation of weak minds, shallow hearts and pagan virtues. Our generations will long be forgotten in the annals of history of a period nonactivity, bickering and backbiting.

Look all through history prophets have had flaws and made mistakes. Jonah wouldn't go to nineveh. Moses didn't circumsise his son. Peter denied knowing Christ. Paul had a fight with his missionary companion and Peter. Who is to say that McConkie didn't have his punishment from the lord (like moses et all..)

THAT is why people don't do what you are talking about. The culture of the church is FOLLOW THE LEADER. |

There just isn't any place to get any traction. The leadership claims the sole right to advancing doctrinal understanding... so what are you left with? Archeology? You can look for Mormon ideas in the ruins of the Americas, but approaching historical sites with preconceved ideas isn't exactly intellectually honest. What are you hoping for? |
