Oh I understood it alright. I understood that I if I worked my tail off and obeyed without question everything that came down from SLC I was going to get the "right" to become a god over my own planet, have concubines that I would keep eternally pregnant, pushing out spirit babies, etc.
Again, EVERYTHING related to mormonism is predicated upon the belief that JS was truthful, honest, chaste, etc. Which we know for fact is incorrect. He was far from it. He was the antithesis of those morals and that is what brings the house of cards called mormonism down.
I do not believe in JS. A prophet of God would not have behaved as he did. He and the subsequent "prophets" behaved like highwaymen. Not prophets.

Dead on, SZ.
The “fruits” of JS:
polygamy
polyandry
adultery
the “Kirtland bank” fiasco
murder (the 2 he killed in the gunfight)
breakup of families
violation of free speech
his own “kingdom” and army
having sex with underage girls (Fanny alger, IIRC, was only 14)
declaring himself better than Jesus Christ
Oh yeah, that is exactly how prophets behave.
As Resty said:No, there is a great gulf fixed between the reprobate and the child of God.”
That there is and JS was a reprobate.
