But John, EVERY CHURCH is a false church other than the Lords (this one). And, frankly, given some of the lessons I have heard, ours is sometimes a false church!
It's hard not to love someone who loves the Lord, even if they don't have it all quite right. It's hard not to be grateful to someone who thinks enough of you to try to "save" you, even though they can't.
Working with others to do good works is not a bad thing. We have prophets today to help us sort these kinds of issues out. If the prophet says it is OK, then it is OK with me. It's not that the prophet is right in all things; after all, he is just a man. However, in this area, I think that he listens to the counsel of the Lord.
