You're right, of course. However, it seems to me they don't care all that much about the division and just dig their heels in a little more. If you don't like the new revelations that just means you're a sinner that needs to repent, and since Jesus is the leader of the church, to disagree with any new revelation from him means the devil has got you. They can't give up the claim of constant div

"It is the concept of revelation that gets the LDS church in trouble, for you can't timely disavow a rule or practice that you claim is God's will." Actually, I think they use the concept of revelation to their advantage. All you need is a new revelation to get rid of the old one. If god said blacks can't have the priesthood, just have a revelation to change it. If god told a past

"As worldwide opposition to routine circumcision grows, increasing numbers of Jewish people in Israel are deciding not to circumcise their sons. A well-researched article in the newspaper Haaretz (June 2013) reports the results of a survey conducted in 2006 which found that while nearly 5 per cent of respondents had not circumcised, fully a third (33 per cent) of parents would have preferred

I watched it a couple weeks ago. Thought it was pretty interesting. I'm not sure how Mormons twist this to allow for Mormon mythology. Do they deny it?

LDS inc. is always about the money. However, if you want to look on the bright side, maybe this will get some of the students to realize the Mormon church isn't as great as they thought.
