Joseph Smith's successful and unsuccessful proposals to church leaders' wives (Mormon)

Doctrine and Covenants section 132 STILL official LDS Scripture

Doctrine and Covenants

Section 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831.

1–6, Exaltation is gained through the new and everlasting covenant; 7–14, The terms and conditions of that covenant are set forth; 15–20, Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods; 21–25, The strait and narrow way leads to eternal lives; 26–27, The law is given relative to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; 28–39, Promises of eternal increase and exaltation are made to prophets and Saints in all ages; 40–47, Joseph Smith is given the power to bind and seal on earth and in heaven; 48–50, The Lord seals upon him his exaltation; 51–57, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

Disclaimer: I am former LDS and "anti" mormonism. I post articles from official mormon sources among others, that often relate to current discussions taking place on the forum to provide a means for open discussion in the Religion forum. In light of continual articles being posted that are in nature, propaganda for the LDS church this article is posted to shed light on the truthful nature of the foundation of the mormon church and on its founder, Joseph Smith.

FROM THE RELIGION FORUM MODERATOR:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected

Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.

On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”

When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”

Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

I would give my wife to a man if he asked.

I would ask for his vital organs in exchange.

“When the family organization was revealed from heaven . . . “

Please, there’s nothing from heaven for the LDS . . . Joe Smith, Jr., was a fraud from the beginning and is leading millions of people to hell by these ramblings.

Just look up “KOLOB” in Google to see what nonsense he came up with along with hundreds of other incredibly ridiculous pronouncements. His best one was that he, Joe Smith, Jr., will sit next to Jesus Christ to determine if we go to heaven or hell.

That alone should be enough for anyone with any sense to return to Christianity and ask forgiveness from Jesus for having believed this heathen. It’s a shame that anyone with any knowledge of this guy’s background would believe anything he said.

Horndog Prophet Joe Smith Placemarker

Darned good answer, Lurk!

Joe Smith was not only a horndog and false prophet, but also a scammer who tried to
convince others he could find treasure buried under the ground. The following court testimony
shows his character:

"Josiah Stowell, a Mormonite, being sworn, testified that he positively knew that said Smith never had lied to, or deceived him, and did not believe he ever tried to deceive any body else. The following questions were then asked him, to which he made the replies annexed.
Did Smith ever tell you there was money hid in a certain glass which he mentioned?
Yes.
Did he tell you, you could find it by digging?
Yes.
Did you dig?
Yes.
Did you find any money?
No.
Did he not lie to you then, and deceive you?
No! the money was there, but we did not get quite to it!
How do you know it was there?
Smith said it was!
Addison Austin was next called upon, who testified, that at the very same time that Stowell was digging for money, he, Austin, was in company with said Smith alone, and asked him to tell him honestly whether he could see this money or not.

Smith hesitated some time, but finally replied, "to be candid, between you and me, I cannot, any more than you or any body else; but any way to get a living."
Here, then, we have his own confession, that he was a vile, dishonest impostor.
As regards the testimony of Josiah Stowell, it needs no comment. He swears positively that Smith did not lie to him. So much for a Mormon witness."

Today, on FreeRepublic, you can see the same blind belief that exists despite the facts, evidence and logic that shows Joe Smith to be a fraud.

What makes Smith different than Jim Jones?

Oh....besides the Kool-Aid?

I am going to vomit!

That reminds me of that old joke.... "Take my wife, please" - by Henny Youngman

Nice to see old Jim Harmston my high school classmate has made the chart. He didn’t come to the 50 year reunion last year. Could have been a fun day had he shown up.

One of my high school sweethearts married a Kingston last year. I asked her if she knew they were all polygs. Gave me the weirdest look.

More evidence, sworn in a court of law, of the low character of Joseph Smith - and the roots of his golden plates scam.

TESTIMONY OF PETER INGERSOLL.

Palmyra, Wayne Co., N. Y. 1833.

In the month of August, 1827, I was hired by Joseph Smith, jr. to go to Pennsylvania, to move his wife's household furniture up to Manchester, where his wife then was. -- His father-in-law (Mr. Hale,) addressed Joseph, in a flood of tears: -- "You have stolen my daughter, and married her. I had much rather have followed her to her grave. You spend your time in digging for money, pretend to see in a stone, and thus try to deceive people." Joseph wept, and acknowledged he could not see in a stone now, nor never could. He then promised to give up his old habits of digging for money and looking into stones.

One day, Joseph came to me. "Yesterday," said he, I found, in a hollow, some beautiful white sand. I took off my frock, and tied up several quarts of it, and then went home. The family were all anxious to know the contents of my frock. At that moment, I happened to think of what I had heard about a history found in Canada, called the Golden Bible. So I very gravely told them it was the Golden Bible. To my surprise, they were credulous enough to believe what I said. Accordingly I told them that I had received a commandment to let no one see it. And now, said Jo, I have got the damned fools fixed, and will carry out the fun.

In the fall of 1827, Joseph wanted to go to Pennsylvania. He was out of money. He went to Palmyra. Said he, "I there met that damned fool, Martin Harris, and told him that I had a command to ask the first honest man I met with, for fifty dollars. He promptly gave me the fifty."

Sworn before Thos. P. Baldwin, Judge of Wayne Co. Court.

Oh, Kingston! When I first read that I thought you had written Klingon. I either need to drink or get new glasses.

What makes Smith different than Jim Jones? Oh....besides the Kool-Aid?

Jim Jones wasn't tar and feathered....?

Oh, Kingston! When I first read that I thought you had written Klingon. I either need to drink or get new glasses.

Yep, NOW you're seeing double! ;0)

Vodka works! Keep's the blood thin as well.

BTW I just sold the famous John Stenvall called "Home Sweet Home".

Well Kool Aide was not around in Smith's day. But his followers sure seem to drink it now...

They tarred and feathered Joseph Smith?? For all the evil stuff he did to get his false religion going, he got what he deserved!
