The Truth about Mormons

[Avatar4321]

Couple minor corrections.


Joseph Smith was killed in Navou, IL.

They didn't kill him because he was expressing his beliefs. They killed him because he had raised his own private army and were terrorizing the region, including shutting down a local newspaper when it exposed the fact he was a polygamist.

As usual, you are ignorant and offering false claims, Comrade Stalin.

The Smith brothers were killed in Carthage, IL. Navoo was controlled by the Mormons and had fired on both Federal and State troops. Thus, the Smiths were arrested on charges of treason and taken to the county seat of Carthage.

Smith deployed the Navoo legion to attack the "Grey Militia," a state militia dispatched by the Governor. Hyrum and Joseph had hand guns and started a break out, not realizing the Navoo legion was not present. No martyrs were these two, they shot and killed three soldiers before they were cut down in the fight. Some say that Smith was caught alive, and stood against a wall for a firing squad, but this is probably just a myth.

Either way, Joseph Smith was a traitor and died the death of a traitor.

That's what the Jews and Romans said about Christ.

Joseph Smith has an advantage over Jesus; he actually existed.

Not sure why you are whining, we are pretty much in agreement that Smith was an awful person.

That said, it wasn't a "soldier" who killed the Smiths, it was an angry lynch mob. Not saying they didn't have it coming, but what was done was a murder.

Death of Joseph Smith




Death of Joseph Smith

pt.wikipedia.org

The death of Joseph Smith, Jr. on June 27, 1844, marked a turning point for the Latter Day Saint movement, of which Smith was the founder and leader. When he was attacked and killed by a mob, Smith was the mayor of Nauvoo, Illinois, and running for President of the United States. He was killed while jailed in Carthage, Illinois, on charges relating to his ordering the destruction of facilities producing the Nauvoo Expositor, a newspaper whose first and only edition claimed Smith was practicing polygamy and that he intended to set himself up as a theocratic king. Smith voluntarily surrendered to the authorities at the county seat at Carthage to face the charges that he was accused of. While he was in jail awaiting trial an armed mob of men with painted faces stormed the jail and shot him and his brother Hyrum to death. The Latter Day Saints view Joseph and Hyrum as martyrs.

Which is the richest church in the world?




The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or better known as the Mormon Church is the richest. Hands down it has the most liquidity and cash on hand to spend at any time

I think the Catholics may have more. They have had a 1500 year head start.

So where are the ancient submarines? I'd like to have a look at those.

Considering no one has made a claim about ancient submarines, you might be looking for a while.

This is one of the many reasons I think people should read the Book of Mormon instead of relying on what people who lie about the Book of Mormon say.

To carry the Jaredites across the ocean, "barges" resembling ancient submarines were constructed under the continual direction of the Lord (2:6,16). Verse 17 describes their appearance:

"And they were built after a manner that they were exceedingly tight, even that they would hold water like unto a dish; and the bottom thereof was tight like unto a dish; and the ends thereof were peaked; and the top thereof was tight like unto a dish; and the length thereof was the length of a tree; and the door thereof, when it was shut, was tight like unto a dish."

Immediately the brother of Jared noticed vision, steering, and ventilation problems with God's design. He complained:

"O Lord, in them there is no light; whether shall we steer? And also we shall perish, for in them we cannot breathe, save it is the air which is in them; therefore we shall perish" (2:19).

To solve the problem of ventilation, God suggests making a "hole in the top, and also in the bottom; and when thou shalt suffer for air thou shalt unstop the hole and receive air. And if it be so that water come in upon thee, behold, ye shall stop the hole, that ye may not perish in the flood."

Given the rash of sex scandals, (which oddly, the Mormons don't have,) don't you suppose that the Catholics might be less than forthcoming about their assets?
