The speaker was the President of the Church, Wilford Woodruff . . . Cease troubling yourselves about who God is; who Adam is, who Christ is,who Jehovah is. For heaven's sake, let these things alone. Why trouble yourselves about these things? . . . God is God. Christ is Christ. The Holy Ghost is the...

Here's a pretty good version:

I look forward to reading this, Ramus. You may have something here. I am a little surprised and skeptical. Multiple mortal probations in 1830? I dunno. Seems somewhat unlikely to me. But, then, there may have been some earlier idea he had along these lines that allowed for what we see in the case o...

If I may interject, I would prefer that the LDS Church use this image:

Alma makes it clear that the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are...

Since my first attempt to post on this new board went pretty well, I will take a chance and post something else. I have a far out idea that Joseph Smith used lots of different names for the same person, and that he may have taught a kind of reincarnation as early as 1830. In the example I talk about...

This is great stuff, Ramus Stein! Nick Literski really knows his stuff. I did not know he was now a Thelemite! Wow! He was a very effective researcher of Mormon history, and I thought he worked mostly on Freemasonic stuff. If I recall correctly, he and Cheryl Bruno have a book on Mormonism and Maso...
