If you wish, and will, can you tell us how close this video is to what's actually taught? (No response will not be construed as anything other than "Sorry, I'm not interested in that.") I've not seen a Mormon reply that wasn't agenda driven, so I do wonder.
I've seen this before. This actually is pretty accurate. However, not all Mormons will tell you they believe this. I think what they did is cherry picked different teachings, doctrines, and sermons over time and put them into a cartoon.
I don't know where the teaching of Jesus wives came from though. I know the part about the spirit brothers of Lucifer and Jesus but I didn't see the source it came from.
They do believe they will become Gods someday even though it isn't written in church approved material, and they do believe God was once a man on another planet called Kolob.
The part about the blacks being cursed for remaining neutral is no longer in church approved material and they actually deny that the quotes of racism are accurate and they say that the Journal of Discourses is not an official church publication even though in the 1800s members were told to follow it as they would scripture. Most current devout Mormons only know about the fact that blacks couldn't serve in the priesthood until 1978 but don't really care to know why, and just think that God had a reason for it.
Having multiple wives in the celestial kingdom someday is still part of doctrine even though some Mormons will deny it. The reason being is the church tries to not have lessons with material that will cause major controversy even if it is in the scriptures.

I actually never made it to the endowment ceremony that had the secret handshakes and tokens so I never was able to wear the garments. I didn't serve a mission either.
