From the article: In comparing the two figures, Forbes noted that Mitchell and LeBaron were both raised in LDS environments; were later excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but continued to maintain a belief in church founder Joseph Smith and his teachings; and controlled those around them by using their own interpretations of revelations and threats of death.

Both men used revelation as a tool to get what they wanted, Forbes said

This is untrue. The psychotic freak went into Her bedroom deep in the dark of night threatened her that he would hurt her sister if she said anything and stole her out of her own home. What he wanted was a pretty, young girl to do very evil things with and violence and force was his tactic. Not religion. He didn't use religion at all.

There are many LDS splinter groups who believe the LDS church (SLC) has fallen into apostasy, either over changes in the temple, allowing blacks to have the priesthood, or polygamy.

The “one mighty and strong” is a recurring theme among these groups.

These cases also show just how rotten the “fruit” of Joseph Smith is.
