Introduction, Credentials, and Intent

Introduction My name is Brandon Cole. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was born in Utah, grew up (among many other places) mainly in Indiana and Tennessee, and am currently back in Utah. I grew up in an active Latter-day Saint household and am grateful for the upbringing that was provided me. I attended Dixie State University (now Utah Tech University) from 2012 to 2015; after a hiatus, I have returned to Utah Tech and am currently a part-time student. My current major is Spanish Language and Literature. Credentials - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I am not an authority on Church doctrine. For that reason, I will refer to the Church's scriptural canon when referring to official doctrine and to any of the Church's handbooks or News Room when referring to any official policies. I may also use unofficial works such as Encyclopedia of Mormonism  or historical journals to explain cultural issues, historical events, etc. That st

She then incorrectly claims that Brigham Young had been a Mason prior to joining the Church. The facts are as follows: Brigham Young was baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 15 April, 1832 . Almost a decade later, he was initiated an Entered Apprentice on 7 April, 1842 ; passed to the degree of Fellowcraft on 8 April, 1842 ; and raised to the sublime
