skippy740 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Posted March 1, 2012 I'm walking away from the thread. The reason I posted it was because in the African American Outreach Program, we've ALL been awaiting for some annoucement from Church HQ regarding racism & that blacks DID hold the priesthood at the time of Joseph Smith.The AAOP program is OVERJOYED with this announcement.However, while I see this announcement as boosting faith, it appears that others still seek to "get all the answers" and that "the church owes us an explanation".I cannot convince, nor change hearts on this forum. The link to purchase the DVD set is in my signature file. If one is SERIOUS about learning how these things came about, I would recommend that you buy a set. (And no, it's not my site, so I'm not financially involved in this website in anyway.) You will be surprised and amazed at how well details the analysis of the scriptures are in this issue.
Backroads Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 At the risk of sounding heartless, I really don't care about the details of who does or does not get the priesthood or what church leaders or church culture or even revelation or lack thereof has to do with it. I don't have the time in my personal spiritual development to worry what other people think of it. Yes, it's worth discussion, but in the right spirit--not to satisfy people. Let's move forward as a church.
