Because the LDS Church claims to be led by divine revelation, major changes in doctrine are startling. If LDS prophets are led by God, one might expect current prophets to agree with previous ones. But the LDS principle of continuing revelation allows new “truths” to supersede past ones. Yet changes in LDS teachings raise the question of whether past prophets were wrong. And what will be said in 50 years about the prophets Mormons revere and obey today? With this in mind, consider some major changes in Mormon doctrine over the years.Polygamy The Book of Mormon expressly prohibits polygamy, Jacob 2:27-30: “There shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none.” The 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (Section 101) agrees: Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication, and polygamy: we declare that we believe, that one man should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband, except in case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again. Yet in the 1830s, Joseph Smith began exploring the possibility of polygamy. He formally (but secretly) introduced plural marriage in 1843. The doctrine was not embraced openly until 1852, when the Mormons were safely established in Utah. For the next 40 years, polygamy was taught as a requirement for the highest levels of heaven. By the 1880s, an estimated 20-30% of Mormon families practiced polygamy.Yet polygamy was strongly rejected by the American public as a barbaric practice. The United States government applied increasingly stern measures against it. In 1887, the Edmunds-Tucker Act made polygamy a federal offense and authorized the seizure of LDS Church assets. Polygamous men were imprisoned. Families moved to Mexico and Canada, or went underground. Under pressure to preserve the Church from destruction at the hands of the United States government, LDS President Wilford Woodruff released a statement in 1890 - called “The Manifesto” - declaring his intention to submit to the laws of the land, and advising members of the Church to refrain from entering any illegal marriage. Even so, plural marriages continued to be performed in secret, until polygamy was completed forbidden by the LDS Church in 1904.Many people, out of faithfulness to Joseph Smith, continued to practice polygamy outside the official LDS Church. Known as “fundamentalists”, several close-knit polygamous communities survive across the western United States to this day. They believe that the mainstream LDS Church is apostate, while they represent original Mormonism..While plural marriage is now strictly forbidden in the LDS Church, it was never renounced as an eternal principle. The Church permits men to be married in LDS temples “for eternity” to more than one wife. In fact, the current LDS prophet, Russell M. Nelson, is eternally sealed to two women.After being a mainstay of Mormonism for 50 years, polygamy was shelved so that the LDS Church could survive. But marriage laws in the United States have changed considerably since 1890. Polygamy is no longer prosecuted as a crime. Will LDS prophets reveal that faithful Mormons should practice plural marriage again?The LDS Church's Gospel Topics Essays:Plural Marriage in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsThe Manifesto and the End of Plural MarriageRacismFor decades, men of black African descent could not hold the LDS priesthood. (In Mormonism, priesthood is the authority to administer key ordinances in God's name. No women have ever been allowed to hold this priesthood.)In the 1800s, Mormonism, like most American religions, had a mixed report card on racism. Some early Mormons were pro-slavery, some anti-slavery, and some neutral. During Joseph Smith's time, two black men were ordained to the LDS priesthood, although this privilege was later revoked. The Book of Mormon reflects the view that dark skin is a curse from God in response to spiritual depravity. In the Utah period, Mormonism was marked by a demeaning attitude toward blacks. It was commonly taught, well into the 2oth century, that black skin was God's curse on Cain (Genesis 4:11-15). In LDS thought, a great war in heaven divided God's spirit children in the premortal existence. Those born black in this life were said to have been less valiant in that heavenly war. Brigham Young, the 2nd LDS Church President and Prophet, had a low view of blacks:You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind. (Journal of Discourses: 7:290-291).This is why interracial marriage was not allowed and social interaction between the races was officially discouraged well into the 1960s and 1970s. It is also the rationale for denying blacks the priesthood and not allowing them to receive temple ordinances.Latter-day Saints will argue that the LDS position on blacks and the priesthood was not doctrine, but a matter of policy. Yet in 1949, the Church's highest leaders spoke clearly against this view:The attitude of the Church with reference to the Negroes remains as it has always stood. It is not a matter of the declaration of a policy but of direct commandment from the Lord, on which is founded the doctrine of the Church from the days of its organization, to the effect that Negroes may become members of the Church but that they are not entitled to the Priesthood at the present time. (Statement of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, August 17, 1949, Archives, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City.)This changed in 1978, when LDS Prophet Spencer W. Kimball announced a revelation that allowed black men to receive the priesthood. Since then, the LDS Church has made several statements condemning racism. They have increased their missionary efforts in Africa and in black communities elsewhere. We can rejoice that the LDS Church has officially turned away from the evil of racism. But were the LDS prophets in the 1850s right or wrong? Was the First Presidency in 1949 telling the truth? It's good for any church to change policies that are wrong. But what does it say about a church that claims to be led by divine revelation?The LDS Church's Gospel Topics Essay: Race and the PriesthoodTrinityThe historic position of Christianity, based on the Bible, is that there is only one God, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Latter-day Saints deny this idea of God. They envision a “Godhead” of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost who are not one God in three persons, but separate beings who are one in spirit, purpose, and glory. But their view of God has changed over the years.The way God is depicted in the Book of Mormon is much closer to biblical Trinitarianism. Here is a sampling of just a few examples:And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. (2 Nephi 31:21)And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one. (3 Nephi 11:27)Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. (Ether 3:14)Modern Latter-day Saints interpret statements about “one God” and Jesus being “the Father and the Son” in support of current LDS doctrine, but on the face of it, the language itself suggests otherwise.In the decade after the Book of Mormon was published, the LDS idea of God continued to develop. The Lectures on Faith - published in 1835 as part of LDS scripture - asserted:That the Godhead consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Lecture 5, Paragraph 1)That there are two "personages", the Father and the Son, that constitute the "supreme power over all things" (Lecture 5, Paragraph 2)That the Father is a "personage of spirit, glory, and power" (Lecture 5, Paragraph 2)That the Son is a "personage of tabernacle" who "possess[es] the same mind with the Father; which Mind is the Holy Spirit" (Lecture 5, Paragraph 2)Over time, the current LDS view of God emerged. Most modern Latter Day Saints would never accept the idea of a two "personage" Godhead, with the Father as a spirit and the Holy Spirit as the shared "mind" of the Father and the Son.SummaryBiblical Christianity has certainly changed in its practices over the years. But the core doctrines that define the Christian faith are rooted in the stability of the unchanging Bible. Different interpretations of the Bible come and go in different eras, but the Bible is always the definitive standard against which any interpretation is measured. God continues to speak to his people today, not through the changing ideas of mortal prophets, but through his timeless word, the Bible.--The Unveiling...

You may have heard about South Africa's viral Netflix show, The Polygamist. The series has been trending across the continent, sparking conversations about relationships, marriage and fidelity. Now, according to the Pew Research Center, a US-based think tank, only around 2% of the world's population lives in polygamous households. However, the practice is most common in sub-Saharan Africa, where an estimated 11% of people are part of polygamous families.So, what is it really like to be in a polygamous marriage, and why do some people choose this way of life? We hear from Takid Master, his first wife, Cecilia, and his second wife, Mariam, about how their relationship works.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash, Carolyne Kiambo and Bella Twine Senior Producers: Priya Sippy and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla

When asked, “are men polygamous?” Two other questions come to mind: Is it really about nature, or is it about character? Join me this week as we take an in-depth look at a question that has divided people for ages. ‎In today's episode, we explore the topic through the lenses of biological research, history, culture, and religion, asking whether men's behavior is determined by instinct or shaped by personal choices and values. ‎You sure don't want to miss this one. As always, listen with an open heart.‎P.S. In this episode, I also reference two previous conversations: The Commitment of Love Versus the Excitement of Love and Things More Important Than Love. ‎If you haven't listened to them yet, they're worth checking out before—or after—you tune in.‎

Chloe Ariell joins us at The Cosmic Switchboard to discuss what it was like growing up in a Cult. Chloe observed unusual phenomena and strange behaviour within some of the cult members including her father who was the founder of the cult. Her father seemed well connected and boasted about being taken off world into space.Various intelligence agencies have monitored Chloe and have tried to ruin her life. In Part 1, Chloe Ariell shares details about her childhood in a large polygamous cult in Australia during the 1970s and 1990s. She discusses her father's background as a former New Zealand policeman and 33rd degree Freemason who likely worked for a letter agency, using unethical hypnosis to recruit teenage wives. The conversation explores how genetic trauma from WWII veterans was passed down through her family, how the cult operated with a protected status, and Chloe's early experiences with extraterrestrial beings and DNA-matching spacecraft technology. In Part 2 Chloe Ariell talks about some of her ET and Milab Experiences. Chloe goes deeper into her hypnotherapy sessions where her consciousness was transferred into a 1939 Antarctic naval admiral to activate ancient technology. She explains how military and ET programs use crystalline implants in the third eye as dimensional portals, allowing subjects to travel between realities. The discussion covers dark interdimensional entities, shadow beings in handlers, connections to Michael Aquino, and Chloe's own Kennedy bloodline DNA that grants her heightened telepathic abilities and access to the fae.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with his good friend Thomas Dockstader — author of The Chi Codes, founder of The Chi Codes company, and a powerful leader inside “We Are The They.” Raised in a strict FLDS polygamist community under Warren Jeffs, Thomas shares the raw details of growing up inside a closed-off religious sect, being indoctrinated daily, and the moment he chose to walk away from it all at just 18 years old. His early life reads like a movie — from wearing pilgrim-style clothes in West Jordan to working grueling construction jobs across the Southwest while hiding his true family story.Thomas opens up about how childhood shame, hidden trauma, and deeply buried beliefs led him down a path of severe alcoholism, multiple marriages, and even a near-suicide attempt on his front lawn. But this story is far from over. He dives into the moments that transformed him — the life-threatening coma from a brutal assault, the pivotal realization that alcohol was only masking deeper pain, and the way transcendental meditation and ayahuasca ceremonies ultimately led him to profound self-acceptance and purpose.Today, Thomas is eight years sober and dedicates his life to helping others break through their own patterns of shame and addiction. He shares how he turned his past into a mission — offering his teachings, free courses, and powerful message of hope to anyone ready to heal. Whether you've faced addiction, struggled with identity, or just want to hear an incredible redemption story, this conversation will hit home and leave you inspired.

In this video, we react to the harrowing story of someone who escaped the Nuwabian Nation—a cult led by a self-proclaimed prophet who built a compound in Georgia to expand his twisted empire. While preaching spiritual enlightenment, he created a system of polygamy where only he could take multiple wives—many of them underage girls. He manipulated his followers, exploited their labor, and drained them of their money, all while hiding behind religion and charisma.#cultsurvivor #NuwabianNation #PolygamyExposed #EscapingCults #SamAndMelissa #ReactionVideo #ExFundie #truestory Chapters:00:00:00 The Disturbing Rise of the Nwabian Nation Cult00:02:45 Ansaru Allah Community in Brooklyn: A Story of Isolation and Control00:05:33 Manipulation and Isolation in Cults00:08:22 Control and Manipulation Tactics00:11:24 The Mysterious Move to Georgia00:14:22 Inside the Inner Circle and Secrets Revealed00:17:18 Resilient Sheriff Challenges Compound 00:20:11 A Father's Awakening and Standing Against Abuse00:23:00 Arrest of York and the Fall of the Compound00:25:56 Engaging with Our CommunityJoin our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamyIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to us!growingupinpolygamy@gmail.com✅SUBSCRIBE NOW : https://shorturl.at/inqrE#like #comment #post #share and #encourage other to #subscribe to the channel.
