DisRuptive1 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Very few kids come here anyways. THe ones that are old enough to be online usually go somewhere else or act like adults in the more adult forums. Quote
iamalighthouse Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Posted September 30, 2005 Well i'm probably not one of them because i think what the adults are talking about is boring most of the time. But i do have a question. Does anyone know what the church had to say about slavery? Quote

Jason Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Originally posted by iamalighthouse@Sep 30 2005, 01:57 PMDoes anyone know what the church had to say about slavery?The LDS Church never had an official position on slavery. Several prominent LDS of the Utah period, including Brigham Young, owned slaves. In fact, Utah was the only slave Territory of the United States, ever. Following the Civil War, the Territory of Utah ceased allowing slaves, and the LDS church followed suit. One thing to keep in mind is that there are no reports I've ever heard of where slaves owned by Mormons were ever badly mistreated. Quote
