Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ who taught:
- That Jesus and Satan are brothers
- That God had incestuous sexual relations with His daughter, Mary, impregnating her with Jesus
- That Christian pastors are "dimwitted hirelings of Satan"
- Of sacred scriptures based on pagan works such as prayers to Egyptian gods for dead spirits which were supposedly translated using occult devices such as peep stones
- That God is a polygamous celestial stud married to our Heavenly Mother, whose name is so sacred we are not to say it out loud
- Of Kolob and of other worlds named Planet Oblish and Planet Enish-go-on-dosh ruled by a governing power through the medium of Kli-flos-is-es, or Hah-ko-kau-beam
- Of prominent display of Satanic symbols such as pentagrams, baphomets, earth stones, and saturn stones on his churches' religious buildings and literature
- Of portraying Satan as the god of this world and having him teach church doctrine in the Mormon temple ceremony
- Of the wearing a fig leaf apron in temple ceremonies to symbolize Satans power and priesthoods
- Of offering prayers to the devil in the temple ceremony Oh God, hear the words of my mouth and of praising him in the sacred rites by chanting Hebrew words whose translation is Marvelous Lucifer
- That husbands can resurrect their wives from the grave
- Of having special grips and clasps in order to tell ghosts from angels and the devil
- Of practicing baptism for the dead
- Of wearing magic underwear to protect from physical harm with symbols so sacred that they must be cut out and buried and the garment burned when it wears out
- That the Ten Lost Tribes and the apostle John will be discovered living in cement houses in a tropical land adjacent to the North Pole separated by a high mountain range
- That men about six feet tall, dressed like Quakers, will be discovered dwelling on the moon where they live for about 1,000 years
- That science will prove the earth has knobs on each end
- That he was commanded by God to retranslate the Bible because the existing translations contained errors eventually devising an Inspired Revision completed in 1833 which was rejected by his church who still uses the King James Version
- That his followers are not saved by grace, but instead are burdened by a complex series of rules and regulations which determine their progression as gods of their own planets and the ultimate size and quality of their harem of goddess wives
- That he was greater than Jesus
Seriously, do you really believe that a true Apostle of Jesus Christ would proclaim any of the above blasphemies? Really?

Excellent list of anti-Mormon propaganda full of misleadings, half-truths and falsehoods. I am sure the anti-Mormon gang are way proud!

Thanks for the ping. I stay out of religious discussion because I come here for politics. HOWEVER, JR’s comment, “It’s breaking news to me,” is perfect. What nonsense— a title designed to lure in the unsuspecting, to deceive. I cannot abide the teachings of Mormonism. Let them proslytize elsewhere.

Nice beak and receding chin. And hairline, as well. He really was a homely twerp. No wonder that he overcompensated and created his own religion.

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so..)
