    My take on Halloween is that if the world can celebrate Christmas while making it commercial and stripping it of any religious significance, then I'm allowed to celebrate Halloween while making it wholesome and eschewing all the bad stuff. We dress up, trick or treat, decorate with "spooky" pumpkins/bats/spiders, and celebrate our spooky dead ancestors by learning about family history.

    I didn't think much about Halloween until I became a mother and realized that they played all these scary, gory movies on TV in October. Then it occurred to me that we spend 364 teaching our children to eschew evil and one day celebrating it. That really turned me off to Halloween, but my (now) adult kids can't resist dressing up in fun costumes.

    You guys are correct in saying that it doesn’t matter if God spoke to Joseph through a seer stone, because God can use whatever he wants, I guess. The thing that matters is that Joseph used this same seer stone to deceive people about finding buried treasure that didn’t exist. He was not a treasure digger. He was a treasure seer. He was a con man.
    After he was told in a court of law that he could not con people with his treasure seeing skills. He changed his approach and just started a religion with some gold scriptures that he found.

    For Christian’s to fight against each other is anti biblical and anti Christ. When the apostles found someone casting out devils they forbid him. Jesus told them not to forbid him because they were not against each other, they are therefore on the same team.

      Not really sure what you are talking about concerning Bradley Wilcox, but he is not an Apostle or Prophet, and his role is not to dictate any kind of doctrine that the church is to follow.
      It is consistently stressed that we seek after truth no matter where it is found.
      The last sentence of the 13th article of faith should help you a bit on this as far as what we believe:
      "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

Also the common knowledge lds saying of the fullness of the truth. I see your point that Snellyboys intention is to recognize that parts of others beliefs that are considered to fit into Mormon doctrine are respectable. However this will always be expressed from a “faith” fueled approval or disapproval as truth. Thereby inherently holding this standpoint of arrogant authority and never accepted or discussed on a common level.

    You do understand that every holiday we have is pagan aka worships the other guy. Christmas on the 25th is 4000 year old festival honoring Tammuz, the reborn son of Nimrod and Semiramis. It even speaks of bringing in the tree and decorating it and fastening it to the wall, balls of gold. It is in the OT. Easter is another one. Halloween of course. We feel we are in the truth while we celebrate pagan holidays and ignore the holy days of the Bible.

    • @gingersnaps215

      Actually I’ve (surprisingly) read several things about Easter that seem to believe that there is no record of an ancient holiday celebrating Oester or whatever the Germanic goddess is supposed to have been. I even found one source saying the word Easter had Christian origins, but I can’t remember the etymology off the top of my head.
      Never heard of Tammuz, but I have heard of Yule and solstice, which are also around the 25 of Dec. My understanding is that pagan holidays were appropriated and “rebranded,” if you will, for Christian celebration. I kind of feel like it’s the intention and purpose of the celebrant that matters more than the origin of the holiday. 🤷‍♀️

Also Joseph Smith will have some roll to play in the judgement. There's many early journal entries by church leaders from the day that said that the enemies of the church will have to answer to Joseph Smith on that judgement day. Fun fact: This is partly why modern day church leaders are not allowed to keep diaries and journals. They are afraid people will use their alleged prophetic words to show how the changing sensibilities of the time will contradicts the later doctrinal teaching. Which is true and is what happens.
