Had a year in other places and then went for another 6 months before being inspired to get baptised.<br /><br />I had obviously heard about the three witnesses to the gold plates, but knew nothing about it at the time. That was one group I remember being quoted to me by the minister.<br /><br />I don't doubt that someone in that year I'd been going to the church had quoted Brigham Young, but I was not familiar with the name at all. Why should I be? The church isn't there to teach Brigham Young. Joseph Smith becomes significant because of the many things he received in setting up the church and the printing of the Book of Mormon and other Scripture.<br /><br />In the time I was going I heard about plural marriage, becoming like God, that the trinity was false and many other unusual doctrines. These weren't hidden from me.<br /><br />The reasoning in regard current prophets being listened to more than past ones is that most feel that if God has some change to make for our day that the current prophet will obtain this information by a new revelation.<br /><br />This isn't always what its about, but it stands as a rule of thumb.Doug Towershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119162546723347214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37212943.post-74003491304634154792012-02-08T19:30:23.257-06:002012-02-08T19:30:23.257-06:00I note that you admit to not being told some thing...I note that you admit to not being told some things before joining the LDS church. Don't you feel that was wrong for you not to be told?<br /><br />Why would the current prophet be more correct than those before? After all the past prophets were once the "current prophet."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
