What's new: 'Mormon Beliefs and Doctrines Made Easier'

Crathes | 4:50 p.m. Feb. 28, 2008

Does the book include any of the really goofy things that Brigham Young taught as Mormon doctrine? Does it exlude anything that has been repudiated? If this is so well researched and written, why did the church not prepare and publish this? Plausible deniability? "I don't know that we teach that?"

My thought | 10:15 a.m. Feb. 29, 2008

Why read anything about the Church that's not "official doctrine"? It'll just get changed or denied later.

A "lighter" Mormon Doctrine? Didn't that book get discredited by the Church for all it's inaccuracies?
Is this just more of the same old, same old?

FWIW, I believe that this shows the feedom of religion found in "Mormonism." We are free to publish our own ideas and to read others ideas in the personal quest each LDS is on to determine and to incorporate the truth for theirself. This working it out can causes the changes in our nature that elevate us. Just handing it our measured and squared would deny the membership this working out, much like a chick or butterfly develops by breaking through.
