Reform Action #7 of 20 (see all reforms) This is a difficult topic and I need more revelation to treat it properly. As I’ve written and re-written these reform ideas, the Spirit has continually impressed upon the idea that there are deep mysteries concerning the true nature of female priesthood (as intimated in the […]
. Facsimile 3 and the Cosmology or Times and Seasons of Ancient Egypt & Israel The Cosmology of the ancients was built upon the earth 24,000 year precession cycle. This might be a little hard to believe at first, but follow along and I’ll show exactly how the Israelite ancient prophetic calendar was based […]
Create transparency in Church monetary policy. Take steps to decentralize the monetary system and allow stakes far greater latitude in deciding how much money to spend on structures (meeting houses, temples, etc) & programs. Do a better job of separating “for-profit” arms of the Church. The presiding bishopric, not the traveling twelve should be involved in these “temporal […]
Reform Action #12 of 20 (see all reforms) The church needs to do a better job in NOT confusing standards, traditions or church rules with God’s commandments. The Jews of Jesus day had done such a poor job at this, that they rejected Christ when he refused hold Jewish rules on the same level […]
Reform Action #12 of 20 (see overview page) Reform over-institutionalized aspects of temple worship (especially reforming temple weddings to accord with the doctrine of sealing’s.) In my view, going along with the solid principles taught in the Gospel of the Holy Twelve & Oahspe, sealings and endowments should not be performed until an initiate […]
Stop excommunicating or marginalizing dissidents so often and easily. Excommunication should conform strictly with the principles delineated in D&C 42:20–28 and D&C 102. Public or private differences of opinion are not grounds for excommunication. Witch-hunts should be avoided at all costs. The church is meant to be a ‘type’ or example of perfect government, there […]
Stop teaching that LDS temple and ordinances are required to make it to the Celestial Kingdom and start emphasizing that these things are important symbols which aid in salvation and eternal union but are not a requirement for it per se. Reasoning: In Joseph Smith’s vision of the Celestial Kingdom given in D&C 137:1–10, Joseph sees his brother Alvin […]
LDS members (and even leadership) need to stop bearing false witness or being subtly dishonest concerning the particulars of their witness of Jesus Christ, God and the truth of the church. When someone is called as a ‘witness’, their job is to witness what they have seen, felt and experienced — clearly and unambiguously, honestly […]
SEE reform item: FOUND ZION with universal system to promote activism and unsolicited volunteerism Put a greater emphasis on service, humanitarian work and giving. (I think we’re making progress?!) Reasoning: It’s funny how quickly people sense whether you are trying to sell them something. We need to focus a lot more on the newly added 4rth […]
Teach and encourage the practice of economic equality through the Law of Consecration in its proper framework under the United Order. Completely ignoring this law separates the church from the heavenly organizations which helped to found it. Failing to even teach (let alone practice) this system robs the church of possible heavenly blessings and puts us […]
