LDS Freedom Forum

Throughout the world today, as we have already been informed by a number of the speakers, there is commotion and a spirit of unrest; and the people, many of them, feel that it is something to their credit to hold radical views, to consider themselves to be progressive, and to make attack upon things that have stood and have endured throughout the ages. This tendency is not alone found in the political world. It is found in the world of education, of religion, of government, of business and everywhere. Men are departing from the well-worn paths, no matter how good they are, and feel that conservatism is a reproach; that it is the duty of man to do away with that which is old, or which has been established, and find something that is new. We stand practically alone in the world, yes, absolutely alone in the world, representing the truth of the living God, declaring to all men the principles of eternal truth which do not change.

- Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, General Conference, October 1924

I guess he was wrong. Mormons have become progressives on Socialism and fully embrace Marxist principles in the in their lives en mass.

If he was not wrong can anyone explain to me how he was correct and still justify the acts of the vast majority of American Mormons.

correct

this is why a whip is being made to overturn the drunkards tables whom are full of vomit. Not long now, a few seasons left too go.

No he was definitely right in 1924. If he were here today he would not make such a statement except for the finishing part. We do practically stand alone in the world representing the truth. We do declare the prinicples of eternal truth. He is only wrong if his statement was to say practice what you preach....sadly there are truths that everyone misses. Otherwise another chunk of the Americas would have ascended up by now

There is no justification for the vast majority of American Mormons. That shouldn't be a surprise.

GREAT Observation and I agree. The Church has NEVER changed its stance EVER! And I have researched this extensively! When it comes to this issue they have clearly stated that Marxism etc. is the church of the devil.
