    Just familiar? I'd like to get a forum post count from JL on this quote, too.

      I've known about Brother Brigham's controversial stuff since the early 90s.
      We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

        Sorry for the double post, but this seems to be a good candidate for this thread:

        On this day in Salt Lake City in 1848, Porter Rockwell rode a handmade unicycle around the temple lot six times wearing nothing but his cowboy boots, a leather holster and and a cowboy hat. He fired two shots into the air, one from each pistol, every time he passed a giggling Eliza R. Snow. Brigham Young watched from the center of the lot, remarking to Wilford Woodruff, "What a goddamn idiot." (Brigham Young Diaries. Volume 7, page 83. LDS Church Archives).

          Please tell me this is true. I'm torn between what's better, a naked Porter Rockwell on a unicycle or Eliza R. Snow giggling about it.

            I found it on the internet. SO IT HAS TO BE TRUE.

              Brigham's Journal of Discourses is as good as scripture and never wrong...

              "I say now, when they [his discourses] are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible . . . " (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 264; see also p. 95).
              "I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom . . . I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 95).

                In book answers to gospel questions by Joseph Fielding McConkie told of missionary that called him and said Adam was God. JFS asked him if he went to church and if he heard that or 9 million members and said no. Why because it wasn,t doctrine. And said by taught a host of eternal truths he has no interest in hearing. Building straw man by finding something to pound on. Basically said we don,t believe in infallibility of prophets. Do they believe in infallibility themselves.
