Hi California ave,
Thanks for your generous words ( fresh and unbiased ) probably more realistic to say ( narrow scope with a hint of ignorance ) LOL
At any rate, I would rather not compare or measure the Catholic community because I feel it would lead to a variety of debates ( sorry if that sounds like an excuse but maybe at a later time we can have those mutually respectfull " back and forths ") I simply do not feel it appropriate at this point.
To elaborate on # 2 ( I realize that I have read little of the many threads ) I came across one concerning " did or did not " JS have children from any wife other than Emma. The following answers were contradictory to eachother.
Another example that I can recall is a thread concerning when and if an angel told JS to implement polygamy. ( again it seemded to me that the following answers were all over the board and even gave different accounts of the angel story itself being true teaching or not.)
I will conclude by saying again that my reason for visiting is to gain perspective and it is not to debate or insult the LDS.
God bless,
Carl
