Or is it the place to go for information about what the lds teach and/or believe?
Becoming Like God
"The following April, feeling he was
“never in any nearer relationship to God than at the present time,”
34 Joseph Smith spoke about the nature of God and the future of humankind to the Saints, who had gathered for a general Church conference. He used the occasion in part to reflect upon the death of a Church member named King Follett, who had died unexpectedly a month earlier. When he rose to speak, the wind was blowing, so Joseph asked his listeners to give him their “profound attention” and to “pray that the L[ord] may strengthen my lungs” and stay the winds until his message had been delivered.

Joseph told the assembled Saints, “You have got to learn how to be a god yourself.”
39 In order to do that, the Saints needed to learn godliness, or to be more like God.
...
Since that sermon, known as the King Follett discourse, the
doctrine that humans can progress to exaltation and godliness
has been taught within the Church. Lorenzo Snow, the Church’s fifth President, coined a well-known couplet: “As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be.”

Seems like your prophet thought he was speaking for God. And your church,
on its official website, is calling it a "doctrine" and has been taught in your church.
Jane, this is where your credibility goes way down. Seems like you are not being honest or don't actually know what your church teaches and/or has been taught.
