The current General Handbook, section 38.6.4, “Birth Control,” says: “The decision about how many children to have and when to have them is extremely personal and private. It should be left between the couple and the Lord. Church members should not judge one another in this matter.” the last sentence is important to note. Seems to me that it has been explicitly stated that your judgement of others on this topic is the actual sin? 2

Do you want to know when it was changed or just evidence it was? The latter: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/birth-control?lang=eng Quote The decision of how many children to have and when to have them is a private matter for a husband and wife…. Decisions about birth control and the consequences of those decisions rest solely with each married couple. Elective abortion as a method of birth control, however, is contrary to the commandments of God. Added: oops, should have turned the page, lol Edited Sunday at 07:44 PM by Calm
