You and I have come to different conclusions about Joseph Smith.

 

 
Joseph Smith was a famous Preacher in the Eastern USA. His teaching empire grew to include acquisition of valuable printing assets and intimate dealings with the Missouri courts.
 
 He devoted several years of his early life to exploratory service, finally taking leave to assume his dealings with various Spiritual Beings.
 
As an adjunct to his exploratory work, Mummies and papyrus are purchased from Michael Chandler.  On July 19, 1835 at age 29; Joseph began translating the papyrus. It will be known as the Book of Abraham, generating quite a lot of interest by leading archeological experts.
 
 In 1844, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the authorities in Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois. That same month, Smith passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the excitable group who had come to visit him pressed too many into the room he was in and his death resulted.

some nights I don’t enjoy these posts.

The other side never rebutts with anything factual and it is very disconcerting.

They only say “It doesn’t say that” or some other pablum and then I scratch my head go read the D&C, BoM again and then I am left with a “What?” and simple perplex.

We can’t prove our claims.

You are an honest man.

You have my respect.


That said; you really need to get away from FEELINGS and take an HONEST look at the HISTORY of the LDS religious organization.

Use their material.

Did he?

Possibly; but it seems that he never TOLD anyone what it was or never wrote it down; either.

I always think it interesting that many Mormons probably support Romney just because he IS Mormon.

Naw, I tried to post the html mrreaganaut could use, but it kept posting a red x so I tried to explain it that way. Don’t have any idea if I was successful in getting the info across.

Actually, the modern doctrines of slander and libel also take into account the number of people exposed to a defamatory statement; a false statement on a network television broadcast, though spoken, would be treated as libel today.
