It's time for us LDS to wake up and SEE and HEAR all that has been lost from among us! Every people who were given the fullness of the gospel and PH in the past have lost the fullness... do we have THAT MUCH PRIDE to think we will never do the same??? I proclaim we have. Study Journal of Discourses. Study what it means to receive your 2nd endowment/Calling and Elect... and why the LDS mainstream stopped giving the highest exalting ordinance decades ago. Were much is given, much is/was required.
If you studied our history, you'd know why each of these men "lied". First, Joseph and his closest FRIENDS lived the ETERNAL law of plural marriage well before the church ever new about it, actually for 22 years! So it was true that the Church DID NOT live it... YET. The Church adopted it later in 1852. It was taught/lived as a true doctrine from 1831 to 1909 or so. It just went underground again with a small righteous remnant who would continue living the laws, including the leaders..
Paul Tascono is a good man. He gave an amazing talk a while back entitled Emptying the Fullness of the Priesthood. He spoke a lot about Joseph Smith's vision regarding women's equality in priesthood and how Joseph proceeded to give (through the anointed quorum) the gifts, authority and powers of the priesthood equal to men. It was only a few months later that Joseph was murdered and Brigham Young led the Church a few steps backward into a less progressed standard of patriarchy over women.
Very sharp analysis and so recognizable for any long-time mormon. Self-criticism is needed more than ever.

Yes, that would be the difference between priesthood laws and church laws.

Thanks, Sunstone, for giving voice to Paul and his ideas, and thanks, Paul, for your words, both tender and raucous.

How lame, that the comments on these videos descends into what we see below. Pathetic.

Moronneedstogrowup,
wow you are judgmental!!!!
It sounds like you haven't found an ANTImormon book you don't like. Don't you think that says something about you?
It seems to me that you are the one that keeps bringing up worthiness, thus you are the one preoccupied with it. Nice try though. Get some help.
