One nice thing about having your doctrine "revealed" is that you can change it when it doesn't fit the facts. The LDS church is really good at this, and they've done it again.
This story in today's Deseret News tells all about it.

I was duped ... but I'm in good company
In an earlier post, I said that the LDS church had issued an "apology" for the events at Mountain Meadows 150 years ago this past September 11. Turns out that the LDS church never intended their message to be taken as any sort of apology, and is apparently quite upset that some people took it that way.
I was led on by the first news story I read about the event, on the Deseret Morning News website. Their reporter, along with the one from the Salt Lake Tribune, simply got it wrong. According to LDS spokesperson Mark Tuttle, “We don’t use the word ‘apology.’ We used ‘profound regret.’”

Breaking news ...
...that I'm still reading about. It appears that the LDS church has issued an apology for their part in the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and the cover-up which occurred after that. The killing happened 150 years ago today, and was recently the topic of a movie called "September Dawn." Read along with me:

Post on Mormon Coffee
Excellent post on the "Mormon Coffee" blog today, referencing an article in today's online version of Christianity Today.
Here's the link to the post, which contains a link to the article:

Mitt Romney and I may disagree drastically theologically, but he's probably closer to my feelings politically, culturally, socially and values-wise than any other Presidential candidate out there. Those who might vote for someone else solely based on Mr. Romney's religious views, (or even worse follow Dr. Dobson in his attitude toward Rudy Giuliani and skip voting entirely) have automatically given impetus to people who want to take this country in a very, very bad direction.
I especially liked the quote from Marvin Olasky: "If he faces Hilary Clinton, I'll vote for him in a Utah minute."
