I apologize in advance if I have underestimated you personal study into LDS material.
I BELIEVE THE ONLY REASON THAT YOU THINK THERE IS CONTRADICTION IS BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING SOMEONE IS TELLING YOU!!!
This is a contradiction of your basic criticism – telling me you are at greater fault then those you would criticize. If you paid any attention to the presidential campaigns you would be aware that whenever a candidate gave a speech that the opposition was able to find “contradictions” within a few hours. That you must go back to over 50 over years to ward teaching material that is out of publication and somewhat unavailable to most of the public to find your contradictions tells me that you have come to this forum unprepared and with great bias.
Let us be honest. How many volumes of the Journal of Discourses have you read? And how many Ward Teaching messages have you read and where did you get them?

You are right... You DON'T know me very well and have no idea what I have read or how much I have studied. I have never in my life, except for an accidental passing glance, read anything that is anti-Restoration, ALL my studying comes from sources friendly to the Book of Mormon. All my study is independent, no human tells me what to believe, and anything I am told I take with a grain of salt, also I defend your church when somebody says something stupid I know isn't true when I COULD just let them go on believing what they like.
Just because somebody doesn't agree with all of your church's teachings doesn't mean they are not studied in the subject or brainwashed by Southern Baptist ministers.
