This isn't an official warning or anything, just a heads up to you and others who may participate in the thread.

I did not mean any disrespect to any who might/may be offended. I have been an Investigator with the Church for almost 9 months, but I still have questions. This documentary just aroused that question-it made me think when Brigham I guess said that you "you can ask for me to give up my wealth, or my time but please dont make me do this". Thats all I was asking.

Also..Soul_Searcher, I can understand where you are coming from here. At the same time I think this can be a dangerous thing. If we started picking and choosing to follow it could be bad in the end. For example if I decided to attend Sacrament Meeting every Sunday, but chose to ignore the Word of Wisdom that is going against a core teaching of the Church. That is a bit far streched but I hope you can see what I am getting at?
lol I apologise to any, I have a hard time explaining what goes on in my head so it may sound confusing or weird.
