Question for apologists..

'IF' the things mentioned in the JoD weren't 'church doctrine', why were they written down, collected-compiled, and published by the church?

Homer Simpson moment: D'oh!

Same goes for general conference.

Let's face it, apologists can spin scripture verse into non-doctrine with enough nuance and dissembling.

Re: Question for apologists..

The Correlation program means that anything published before 1971 is not official doctrine. Not even the scriptures.

I'm being totally serious, as this was explained to me when I worked at the church editing and writing manuals.

And why does the church's own website reference the JoD THOUSANDS of times?

Follow this link:

Now that's funny! I can't count how many times I've been told "THE J.o.D. IS NOT SCRIPTURE!" LOL!

I love that link Fetal Deity. It shows how JoD can be used whenever they want as long as it is not used against them. Only then is it not inspired.
