UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide: Yep. And Joseph Smith was killed and a number of others and the rest whipped off to Utah.

the mormon god drove the mormons out of OH MO because of their sins
D&C 98:18-19: “Behold...am not well pleased with many who are in the church at Kirtland; For they do not forsake their sins, and their wicked ways, the pride of their hearts, and their covetousness, and all their detestable things...”
D&C 50:4 — what Smith told the LDS church at Kirtland in May, 1831: “Behold...have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name...”
“...the inhabitants of Zion are terrible...” (D&C 45:70)
Also, Smith said that the affliction, persecution and being cast out of the land of inheritance (D&C 101:1)
was because God “suffered the affliction to come upon them, wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of their transgressions...” (D&C 101:2)

1. in May 1844 Joey Smith boasted that he was greater than The LORD Jesus Christ
1 month later in June 1844 The LORD Jesus Christ showed joey Smith he was wrong. Jesus destroyed the liar Joey Smith...
2. Nobody was “whipped off to Utah”
Joey Smith had already wanted the Mormons to move to Mexico or Utah Territory which was in Mexico.
3 It was about 2 years after Joey Smith got himself killed in that jail break shoot out in which he murdered 2 men that the Mormons finally moved of their own accord to Utah to get away from the laws of America so that they could practice polygamy/adultry and have their own theocratic dictatorship ruled over by King-for-life Brigham Young
4. They finished their Mormon temple in Nauvoo and then SOLD it to the local Catholics...
5. Nothing was destroyed or stolen from the Mormons and the ones who stayed in Nauvoo were not molested in any way but continued to live peaceful lives...
6. the same as the Mormons who had stayed on in Missouri...
7. or anywhere else, New York, Kirkland, etc
Only the FEARFUL ones.
A vast bunch stayed behind and acquired ALL the MORMON property and prospered.
(Kinda makes the CLAIM that the State of Missouri was out to KILL all the MORMONs a bit hollow sounding; doesn't it.)
