Are we doomed to the dark side of some issues?

September 13, 2006

Mark Butler is contaminating M* with spill over from the dark side of New Cool Thang. Much of that weird stuff has lead me to ponder why some of Joseph Smith’s controversial works, like the KFD, are not canonized but others are? Not being canonized made it easy for open minded LDS to take the KFD at less than face value and allowed GBH to thankfully put the nails in that coffin. But what do we do with works that probably should have also shared apocryphal status like the KFD but have ended up in our standard works? Can anything be decanonized in a church as traditional as ours or are we doomed to be stuck on the dark side of some issues?
