And then we have Joseph Smith.
Many, many EXTRAORDINARY claims, and even more amazing, he kept changing things !!
All the revelations, for example, perfectly received from God (he claimed) in the first go round, were nevertheless, altered, modified, changed and edited. Most, in fact, were changed multiple times.
Astonishingly, Joe was rarely called on the issue, and when he was, why, of course, who are we to presume God cannot change His mind ?? And the sheeple he was dealing with bought it, hook, line and sinker.
Witnesses to various items in the LDS lore and arcana, were subsequently excommunicated, and no one seemed to ask any questions about it. How can that be ??
What if Jesus 'excommunicated' Peter after the walking on water demonstration ? What if Thomas, after fingering Jesus nail holes was 'excommunicated' ??
Wouldn't we be pouncing on those defections/pillorations even to this day ?? How can someone with a front row seat to all the main events in LDS be kicked to the curb ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
