Noted . . .
And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and thre was no poor among them. Moses 7:18
And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Acts 2:44-45
And they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift. 4 Nephi 1:3
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs! Marx, Critique of the Gotha Program, 1875

I think she's at least as off-base as Bott was in making the statements for which he was castigated.
According to OD 2, it was not a simple matter abandonment of a policy. Rather, the prophet spent many hours in prayer imploring the Lord to change a practice he and his Brethren obviously believed was God-directed, and there was no action until they were all certain a revelation had been given.
Obviously, I disagree.

Have a good one.

I'm curious Scott. Sister Brooks made her comments on her blog. Have you posted over there so you can reach the same audience she was addressing?
To whom it may concern: If you feel inclined to do anything for or in behalf of me after I die -- or even while I'm living, for that matter -- that is comparable in intent to Mormon vicarious baptisms or other ordinances for the dead, feel free. I would even regard it as a magnanimous gesture. I would appreciate the thought in any case.
Nobody gives you all the facts all at once, leastwise anti-Mormons and hostile critics. If selective focus or emphasis amounts to deceit, they are the worst of offenders.
If I detest anything as virulently as anti-Mormons obviously detest Mormonism, feel free to label me as "anti-" the thing I detest. I won't mind in the least.
An author who undertakes to criticize publicly another's religious faith and practice has the obligation, in the first instance, to understand it.
... and the anti-Mormon saith unto them: I am no anti-Mormon, for there is none — and thus he whispereth in their ears.
