[quote=dumbrenter]Around that time black folk were 2nd class citizens in most other churches too. It should have been as weird for McCain or Clinton too to be debating Obama[/quote]
Women still have that standing, by the above, as most churchs will not let women hold the priesthood, but it was taught that Blacks where one of the 12 tribes of Israel and that they were cast out because of there wickedness and that god marked them by darkening their skin.
Becasue they were from the wicked tribe (I forget the name of the tribe) they were not allowed to hold the priesthood for years until 1978 when there was the great “Revelation”.
Please do not flame me and I apologize for upsetting anyone in advance.
This is what I was taught as a mormon.
I am an athetist these days… With the small hope thier is a higher power but don’t believe it.
BTW mormonism is a strange term to mormons… It was a term that created by non-mormons… The term LDS is more prevelant.
