I just want to say that the Mormon church doesn't condone grooming. I know y'all will say "what about Joseph Smith?" That was 200 years ago. There is nothing in modern times that condones grooming

Unlike the policies prohibiting black people from temple ordinances and ordination, which lasted until 1978.

How is this relevant to the conversation we're having?

Because it’s recent and shows that maybe the LDS church, isn’t good.

Also, how can the church founder having multiple underage wives not relevant when he’s fundamental to the teachings & the Book of Mormon?

Show me where in the doctrine or Book of Mormon it says that grooming is okay. That isn't taught in the church.

There also isn't any evidence that she is an active member of the church, so there really shouldn't be any Mormonism talking points in this story.
