Who?
LDS material is sufficient.
The first 'book' in the Quad is enough to show problems with the next three.
[unctuous, self-promotion alert!]
(or ELSIE can be pinged)
Really??
I guess that old, "Sticks and stones..." thing ain't what it used to be.
“19 years apart and 900 miles away. That is grasping at straws.”
Now it is up to you to find out what also happened in between.
Unless you already know all there is to know to judge that group of people.
Obviously; turn the other cheek does NOT apply here.
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God
is death on the spot. This will always be so."
(Journal of Discourses, Vo. 10, p. 110)
"I am a true believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, I do not believe everything that is now being taught and practiced by Brigham Young.
I do not care who hears it. It is my last word - it is so.
I believe he is leading the people astray, downward to destruction.
But I believe in the gospel that was taught in its purity by Joseph Smith, in former days.
I have my reasons for it.
"I studied to make this man's [Brigham Young] will my pleasure for thirty years.
See, now, what I have come to this day!
"I have been sacrificed in a cowardly, dastardly manner." (Lee enunciated this sentence with marked emphasis.)

When all this mud that has been flung about finally dries; I can use it to fill in the low spots in my yard.
Ma'am; your religion is bogus.
That's what SLC wants you to believe.
A portion of the Mormons left; another bunch stayed.
The ones who stayed were not subjected to any bad things later.
The ones who had a spirit of fear and fled, buried many on the arduous trip west.
The approach to the Mountain Meadows Massacre monument The monument in the valley below received an upgrade in 1999, again the product of a partnership between descendant groups and the LDS church. They erected a stone cairn monument patterned after the one the army put up 140 years before but without the cross.
President Gordon B. Hinckley, who took a vested interest in moving the new monument forward, especially after seeing how horribly it had fallen in disrepair, spoke at its Sept. 11, 1999, dedication. Some were hoping for an official church apology, but he stopped short of that. When asked in a later interview who was responsible for the massacre, he said, “the local people.”
A ceremony on the same date in 2007 marked the 150th anniversary. Then-church historian Marlin K. Jensen, who also showed a extreme interest in setting the story straight and remembering the victims, wrote a statement to read on that occasion, but because of illness, was unable to deliver it. Instead, then-Elder Henry B. Eyring, now second counselor in the First Presidency, presented it.
What was done here long ago by members of our Church represents a terrible and inexcusable departure from Christian teaching and conduct. We cannot change what happened, but we can remember and honor those who were killed here. We express profound regret for the massacre carried out in this valley 150 years ago today and for the undue and untold suffering experienced by the victims then and by their relatives to the present time.
The statement went on to voice regret to the Paiute people, who for so long bore the principal blame for the massacre but who would not have even participated in the massacre had they not been convinced by local Mormon leaders.
The word “apology” was never used in the remarks, and no official apology has ever come from church leadership. Despite that, descendant groups have been happy to have built a great relationship with the LDS church and work in concert with it to preserve the memory of the massacre and their forebearers who met their demise because of it.
” serving an antichrist religion is a sin against the Holy Spirit”
Be cautious in your assessment....might want to ask the mods to allow you to retract and then restate....
If following God’s word, and adhering to what the Bible teaches makes me a bigot, I’ll wear that label. I do judge. I judge and use the Bible as a template. You can try to sugarcoat poison, but it’s still just poison.
Mormons followed Islam. Some dood wrote a book that he claimed was given to him by god that allowed sex with children and many women and provided him the right to wage war on all comers.
SSDD.
Your comment seeking to justify the murder of innocents and kidnapping of children is indefensible and despicable.
What is the SLC?
I have read Mormon material and it’s not Christian. Period.
Both of them used nothing but Mormon materials; as it’s said: straight from the horses mouth. There is absolutely nothing Christian about Mormonism. I’ve read their material.
I refer you to Sidney Rigdon’s Salt sermon, a declaration of war on the people of Missouri. There were gentiles in the audience who left to alert the locals.
“I refer you to Sidney Rigdon’s Salt sermon,”
Have you noticed how Freepers sound the same over gun control.
