LOL, we “prove” it every day...you just refuse to accept proof that isn’t straight from LDS.org

And what if it is from LDS.org?

"Riding to Carthage, he might have recalled the time in Missouri when he and some of his brethren had been betrayed into the hands of their enemies. The leader of the mob convened a court; Joseph and his associates were placed on trial for their lives. They were convicted and all sentenced to be shot the next morning at eight o’clock in the public square in Far West. A dispute among the mob saved them."

- Elder David B. Haight
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The Ensign Magazine, December 2001 issue

I believe the requirement was to say that "Joseph Smith was a convicted criminal", and to cite the date and court of the conviction. Apostle Haight doesn't give us the date and count, but I trust that all find the Apostle David B. Haight to be a reliable witness in this matter.

It is you and your cohorts I don’t trust. And what church do you belong to?

I can’t seem to get any straight answers from the happy antis. Why is that? Are you all afraid of something?

By the way, since when does a mob become a true court? Does that occur in your church? In your country?
