I think it would be even better if rape victims judged him.

Are you capable of doing your own research? If you truly profess faith in this institution called Mormonism you would have backed your s*** up

My research only turns up about a couple of dozen or so churches. I am just curious where he gets all these from, that's all..

If you actually know something about this, why not share some particulars? Why even bother post something so non-informative? Don't try to skate by on your good looks; it doesn't work with me.


That's all I know. I did the research years ago. I remember that at least 3 that have policies about Blacks not holding the Priesthood and at least 2 that didn't.

Oh wow. I didn't know there were more than Warren Jeff's church. Are they all in America?


They are all over. Colorado city isn't just jeffs. Fundies are all over manti. theres a couple up in Canada and Chihuahua (sp) mexico.

How about the Prophet "Art" on this video, bet he's not on the list.

How many other Joseph want-a-be polygamist prophets have there been in the past, how many right now?

There are indeed a lot of fundie "splinter sects" and I once had a good list but can't access it now.

The only ones I'm acquainted with are the Robert Crossfeld/Prophet Onias group and yes, they do believe in the "negro" as being a cursed race and are very against "race mixing"---on the other hand they have what is the most "progressive" stance on polygamy that I know of among fundamentalists.
