I'm trying to add some good ones to the religion section of my home library, and I'm looking for official church publications that have been pulled and/or scoured and sanitized by the church due to blatant racism, sexism, general craziness, etc. If anyone knows any good ones, along with the approximate date it was altered from it's horrifically offensive version, then that would be spectacular.
So far I have:
The Miracle of Forgiveness (crazy ass shit)
Gospel Principles (earliest version I could find, which was mid-70's)
Mormon Doctrine (original 1960-something 1st edition)
Are there any other really awesome scores to be found out there? Maybe an official church publication with the insane ravings of BY in a non-sanitized version? Some talk about black people being fence-sitters?
I'm a huge history/religion nerd, and study the LDS church's history is more interesting than any other religion I've come across. It's like the Melrose Place religious history. So much drama!
