Please refrain from equating Mormons and Muslims. We don't ...blow ourselves up in crowded places...

Except for Mark Hofmann

We don't cut peoples heads off

I agree. Good thing the Danites (destroying angels) or the Mountain Meadow Massacre folks aren't around, any more, eh?

But the names Porter Rockwell, Bill Hickman and the Danites do ring a historical bell, don't they?

Not representing Mormons, he didn't, he blew up people whom he thought would expose him for forging documents to embarrass the church. He did not intend to blow himself up (Bad bomb maker, bad Ex Member).

Mountain Meadow Massacre was investigated, and Mormons executed the only guy they could prove was there.

The Danites, were supposedly a group that formed a secret pact. The church forbids secret societies.
The Danites, if they even really existed, would have been excommunicated as soon as they were found out. (Interesting that you bring up Mark, since he forged some of the documents supposedly implicating Joseph in knowledge of the Danites).

Porter Rockwell, a mountain man, and a sheriff (I live near Porter's Place, good steaks there). Not a man you want to cross, but honorable, tough guy living in frontier times, killed when he had to, arrested when possible. Really interesting history was he perfect, no, was he a terrorist, you’ve got to be kidding! Go read even a little bit about the man.


So, in your mind if a member of a group errs, all members of that group (even if they teach against that activity) are guilty, punishment of the guilty cannot expunge the group’s guilt, escape by the guilty who were sought does not expunge the guilt, find the worst apple in any barrel, and call all the rest the same? Is that your approach?

I will iterate (re –Iterate is not a word) Mormons do not blow them selves up in crowded places, nor do we behead others (Or ourselves just for clarification).

You by your posts here are a bitter, twisted individual with a grudge against Mormons. You cannot stand to see a positive statement go by with out a challenge.

In all sincerity, get some help.
