What can you tell me of the 1978 (?) 'revelation' concerning the increased
status of blacks in your church?

Blaine: Even the President/prophet must have a sustaining vote
for new doctrines he espouses to be accepted--As I said, the sustaining
of the Adam-God doctrine as official never happened. In several
other cases, a sustaining vote did happen, as for instance, the doctrine
that little children who die before reaching the age of accountability inherit
the Kingdom of God. This doctrine now appears in the D&C, for the
simple reason it was voted upon and sustained. MANY so-called
"doctrines of the LDS Church" do not have this
status. Another of these is the doctrine that men may
become Gods and populate other worlds. Although it is widely believed,
it is not in any standard work, nor has it been sustained as an official
doctrine by the general membership. As
I said, Kevin, Elvis died--trying to prove he is still alive is a lost cause,
and only makes sense if you have some psycho/emotional investment in
believing he lives on.
