Aug 17, 1951 - First Presidency statement that church’s restriction on Negroid peoples receiving priesthood “is not a matter of the declaration of policy but of direct commandment from the Lord.”

but…but…Ahimsa said it wasn’t…
 
Oct 16, 1951 - temple council of First Presidency, Quorum of Twelve Apostles and Patriarch to church decides to allow beer commercials on church owned KSL television station.

Translation: God says beer is bad, unless we can make money from it. So, we must tell our members not to drink it, but we don’t mind advertising it so non-members can drink it
 
Nov 10, 1960 - Brigham Young University’s president tells Executive Committee of BYU’s trustees “about a colored boy on campus having been a candidate for the vice presidency of a class and receiving a very large vote.” The three apostles present want to exclude all African Americans from BYU. “If a granddaughter of mine should ever go the BYU and become engaged to a colored boy,” Apostle Harold B Lee fumes, “I would hold you responsible.”

cuz God said so…
 
May 14, 1961 - Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith announces to stake conference in Honolulu: “We will never get a man into space. This earth is man’s sphere and it was never intended that he should get away from it.” Smith, the Twelve’s president and next in succession as LDS President, adds: “The moon is a superior planet to the earth and it was never intended that man should go there. You can write it down in your books that this will never happen.” In May 1962, he privately instructs that this view be taught to “the boys and girls in the Seminary System.” On 20 July 1969 U.S. Astronauts are first men to walk on moon. Six months later Joseph Fielding Smith becomes church president.

was the moon superior cuz Joe said Quakers lived on it:?
 
July 1967 - Priesthood Bulletin prohibits women from praying in sacrament meeting.

wow
 
Nov 27, 1967 - New York Metropolitan Museum of Art gives to LDS church the Egyptian papyri upon which Joseph Smith based “Book of Abraham” in Pearl of Great Price. Egyptologists, LDS and non-LDS, verify that these papyri are typical “Book of Breathings” in form and content.

oops…
 
August 1979 - church’s Ensign Magazine publishes first counselor N. Eldon Tanner’s statement: “When the prophet speaks the debate is over,” which echoes Improvement Era’s message of June 1945.

really? Cuz the Mormons on this board do not follow THAT teaching. BY said Adam was God and Mormons here still disagree with him
 
Oct 1, 1981 - New York Times reports official announcement that new edition of Book of Mormon changes prophecy that Lamanites will “become white and delightsome.” Instead of continuing original reference to skin color, new edition emphasizes inward spirituality: “become pure and delightsome.”
 
Jan 5, 1982 - First Presidency repeats its 1978 instructions for “interviewing married persons” but adds: “The First Presidency has interpreted oral sex as constituting an unnatural, impure, or unholy practice.”
 
Jan 11, 1983 - second counselor Gordon B. Hinckley pays document dealer Mark Hofmann $15,000 for alleged Joseph Smith letter about his treasure digging activities. He has Hofmann agree not to mention the transaction to anyone else and then he sequesters document in First Presidency’s vault. First Presidency does not acknowledge its existence until Los Angeles Times is about to release story about document, which Hofmann later admits he forged.

So the lds god is foolable?
 
Oct 12, 1989 - Deseret News reports that representative of Eli Lilly pharmaceutical company confirms that Utah has highest per-capita use in nation of anti-depressant Prozac.
 
Aug 9, 1991 - Salt Lake Tribune article, “Of LDS Women, 58% Admit Premarital Sex.”

is this what Eheuster was talking about
 
April 4, 1992 - Apostle Richard G Scott tells general conference that LDS women should avoid “morbid probing into details of past acts, long buried and mercifully forgotten,” and that “the Lord may prompt a victim to recognize a degree of responsibility for abuse.”
Among his concluding remarks: “Remember, false accusation is also a sin,” and “bury the past.” Unspoken background to his remarks is that in recent years current stake presidents and temple workers have been accused of child abuse by their now adult children. Salt Lake Tribune reports that suicide prevention lines are swamped with telephone calls by women in days after Scott’s remarks.

wow
 
Nov 6, 1994 - Apostle M. Russell Ballard tells 25,000 students at BYU that general authorities “will not lead you astray. We cannot.” This claim of infallibility is officially published, and he repeats it to another BYU devotional meeting in March 1996.

except for the whole Adam-God thing, the men on the moon thing, the blacks are bad thing, the polygamy thing, the (insert your own one of the plethora of false teachings…)

Uh, I was not on of the guys. But I only went for two years. Seems like in the ward all the singles were teens. I think most of them have dreams of marrying a missionary. It does look like a vicious circle. All those cute well groomed missionaries are not only representing Christ but putting dreams in young LDS girls heads.

Wow. Just Wow. A researcher has made a timeline of various incidents in LDS History. I was amazed by what I read…things such as the LDS running brothels. An LDS Apostle claiming polygamy reduces masturbation, so polygamy is good. Joseoh Smith having a black lady sealed to him as his servant in heaven. LDS basketball team in 1930s Germany honoring Hitler with a Zeig Hiel. BY granting divorces to women who had been sealed. Made a TON of money. First Presidency declaring that the LDS racists positions were commandments from “The Lord”.

How can anyone seeing what these people who “talk directly to god” do and say believe their church is led by the one true God?

The only thing that reduces masturbation is not masturbating. Sure it can get frustrating when you can’t sleep at night, but just try your best to get up and go to the bathroom, stretch, and read a bit, until you could sleep. I mean, I wouldn’t practice something as obscure as polygamy and try to base it off the fact that it “decreases masturbation.” Find some accurate statistics that polygamy will foster world peace, and I MIGHT look into it. But whats up with all the Mormon topics? There’s like 13 million worldwide 🤷
