BLAINE: I am glad we fiinally got this straight, that JS only joined a class not the Methodist Church itself!! You guys keep trying to make a mountain out of a molehill on this point. Thanks, Kevin, for saying it like it was. JS Admits in his life story that he favored the Methodist Church until he received the First Vision, wherein he was told to join "none" of the current churches. In reading up on the doctrines of that church, I see that there are many doctrines that are basically the same as LDS doctrines. I see nothing wrong in him showing a continuing interest in this church, as a member of a class only! In fact, I believe if I were not a Mormon, I would be a Methodist. . .
