You are just trying to mock me with this evil FLDS and when you do this you stir up anger towards you from me for even trying to put the two things togather.
I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and every thing that minds like yours who can not understand always tries to reduce things you have not taken the time to study read and ponder and pray over, so many here just take this to some awful place so you can feel justified!
That is being wicked and unkind!
There is no US vs THEM, there is only more truth and understanding.
Then EXPLAIN why you are so upset???
You post mumbo jumbo but never ever answer a simple question!
If you do not understand or know the answer then don’t pretend that people are being UNKIND or WICKED!
Most of us here don’t understand how LDS could be so upset about FLDS when they are only following J.Smith.....yet argue at the SAME TIME that Polygamy is BEAUTIFUL!!
Instead of blowing smoke.....tell us WHY the FLDS are WRONG?
Just answer the question and stop using the victim mentality when you don’t HAVE an answer.
Just be HONEST FOR ONCE!
If you KNOW so much; as you claim; then WHY will you not answer the simple question:
What was wrong with Presbyterianism that Joseph Smith called it UNTRUE???

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
