Summary

Today we discuss several problematic "revelations" by LDS prophets that succeeded Joseph Smith. These include:

John Taylor's 1886 revelation on the continuation of polygamy.
The multiple "manifestos" allegedly ending the practice of polygamy (but not really).
The lifting of the 1978 priesthood and temple ban against Mormons of African descent.
Changes to the LDS temple ceremony over the years.
Russell M. Nelson's condemnation of the use of the "Mormon" identity after Gordon B. Hinckley and Thomas S. Monson's strong support of the "Mormon" identity.
The 2015 LGBTQ Exclusion policy, and the subsequent 2019 reversal of the policy/doctrine.
The Mark Hofmann forgeries.
