I’m sure you are a great person, but you are shooting an airball about the LDS church.
Jim Jones <> Joseph Smith. That’s like comparing George Washington with Stalin.
The “ Jim Jones’ thing was a cheap shot...for which I apologize.
However, if one considers “ The Mountain Meadows Massacre” it isn’t that far fetched after all. Some violent acts are religiously oriented.
My point is, “ gullible people’ being taken in by scammers.
I use only my personal knowledge of historical facts combined with my own opinion....sometimes I go a little too far.
