“He certainly does convey the feelings of those who are against the Mormons. What about the other side of the story?”

That’s not really my job now is it, to do your work for you. But that said the last link I gave was pro-Mormon from Parley Pratt, a better link than any of you have given so far. Your side never bothers to quote from original Mormon histories, I’ve been waiting forever for one of you to step up to the plate. But all I get is blah blah Bigot blah blah blah Hitler blah blah Big Bad Meany.

My position, as is the position of Reed Peck and others, is that Smith and the inner circle were the nutjobs and most of the followers were just out to get along. Far West was thriving and a part of the local community - until Smith turned up on the lamb from Kirtland. Nauvoo was up and running and doing fine until Smith made his power grab with Hyrum.

So sure, there is two sides to this history. The reason I’ve been one sided is because the apologists on this site REJECT EVERY NON-MORMON TESTIMONY I PRESENT! And I mean reject EVERYTHING! So why should I provide both sides under those conditions? ? ? ? Where I am in a lose lose situation if I try to present both sides?

And talk about presenting only one side, I do post Mormon quotes, more than anyone else ON YOUR SIDe. And you NEVER quote from the exMormon “Apostate” material, or the state of Missouri archives.

So, you guys are the big flaming hypocrites suggesting I’m not even handed when all you can present is “it’s true because I felt a burning in my bossum” arguments while rejecting everything the opposition said.

I stand by my original post suggesting to ansel12 that there is two sides to this story and that some balance would be required to come to a full understanding of the events in Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, and Utah. You readily admit that the history you are giving is one sided and by definition incomplete. I really don’t see what your beef with me is.
