Known as the Prophet that wrote the Miracle of Forgiveness Pres. Kimball revolutionized many parts of the Church with his actions and speeches: Lamanites Becoming White - Being a warlike people - allowing Africans and descendants to receive the Priesthood and more. What are your thoughts about this past Mormon Prophet?Post Date: 14th Apr, 2011 - 12:27am / Post ID: #

Comments: How many of you read the talk "The Day of the Lamanites" by Elder Spencer W. Kimball back in 1960? I couldn't believe my eyes when I was reading some of the comments, I searched for an official source (so nobody can say it's just an anti-mormon attack...No, he really believed it) First he starts by saying Indians are people (odd moment) and that he realizes that they respond to the same teaching and kindness and love as others do. Hmmm really? And then this...
QUOTE The day of the Lamanites is nigh. For years they have been growing delightsome, and they are now becoming white and delightsome, as they were promised (2 Ne. 30:6). In this picture of the twenty Lamanite missionaries, fifteen of the twenty were as light as Anglos; five were darker but equally delightsome. The children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation.
At one meeting a father and mother and their sixteen-year-old daughter were present, the little member girl-sixteen-sitting between the dark father and mother, and it was evident she was several shades lighter than her parents-on the same reservation, in the same hogan, subject to the same sun and wind and weather.
There was the doctor in a Utah city who for two years had had an Indian boy in his home who stated that he was some shades lighter than the younger brother just coming into the program from the reservation. These young members of the Church are changing to whiteness and to delightsomeness. One white elder jokingly said that he and his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the hope that the process might be accelerated.

Paul yes I read it (many times). What exactly is your concern? I see none. The problem with members (and non-members) is that they fail to understand that past prophets and leaders were products of their time and Spencer W. Kimball wasn't the exception.

Billboard: Why did LDS leader say Mormons are warlike?
The billboard, paid for by a group of libertarians and constitutionalists, asks "Why did [LDS Church President] Spencer W. Kimball say: "We are a warlike people"?" [..] "There is an [LDS] scripture that says to renounce war and proclaim peace," Boyack said. "But we think there is a lot of [Mormons] renouncing peace and proclaiming war." Ref. Source 4
