[edit] Publication

According to the photocopies online at BYU , the introduction to volume one is dated June 1853, but the title page is dated 1854. --Blainster 21:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Issues

Here are some issues I have with this. A lot of the "doctrines" in the last paragraph are misrepresented as such. Isn't Adam-God theory a term made up outside of the church in order to twist what Young really meant? How accurate are these journals really considered to be, today? It makes it sound like the church used to believe this stuff and then dropped it, but that isn't necessarily the case. It's just too vague on these issues, for me. Wrad 05:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It can be argued either way, IMO, and the article should probably reflect that. I like what you have done to the article, personally. -SESmith 10:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about my previous edits. You know how it is when you change something and then look at it and actually don't like it after all? Wrad 16:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. No problem—sometimes it takes a few tries. -SESmith 22:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
