That's just one side of the story of Joseph Smith. Your church told you he didn't have an arrest record, yet lo and behold, he sure nuff did.

In 1961, Nibley authored a book entitled The Mythmakers, in which he ventured to boldly debunk assertions that Joseph Smith had committed, or had been arrested for, the crime of "glass-looking." Nibley (in words he probably later wished he could retract) went so far as to declare that if, in fact, Smith was actually proven guilty of such nefarious activity, it would constitute the most damning blow that could be imagined to Smith's claim of divine prophetship

The Church has never said he did not have an arrest record there you go mis-quoting all members know he had an arrest recorders.

We just disgree on the trump up charges of others prejudice!

Fawn Brodie, whats the differents colorcountry be there rebellious children in 1960 or in 2006, rebellious children are rebellious children!

if some one disagrees with their current faith and find another religion they think is better they join that faith and live out their life.

I have not made it a mission in my life to content with my former faith, I just moved on!

For me to think I needed to content would mean I also invited the spirit of contention in my life and than the Holy Spirit would withdraw from me as I entertained this divisive force!

no thanks I always want the Holy Spirit to feel welcome and not let self get in the way as I witness happen to many on this forum!
